The reality losers, mercenary causes and their teary flatulence And the judging abuses, pantomime poses to a screaming audience And the marketing minions coming on like they're doctors of psychology And the daily opinions on trivial sh**e by self-endowed celebrity And the orgy of technology, with it's use by date myopia And the brand ubiquity like some Phillip K. Dick dystopia And the network providers, financial advisers and self help vipers They all sh** on the windscreen of life, What I'd give for a huge set of wipers Stop, in the name of love Stop, in the name of heaven above Stop, for the sake of love Stop, Stop Whatever happened to subtlety, the complex beauty of things unsaid Whatever happened to thinking before you say the first thing that comes in your head
Of course I'm not talking about a lifetime Trappist vow Just pause some elegant resonant silence right now Stop, in the name of love Stop, in the name of heaven above Stop, for the sake of love Stop, Stop, Stop It'll do you no harm, against the glamour of clamor With the rhyme of kind give the world a break It's the biggest statement a person can make It might catch on and we'll be not talking about a revolution And then one day someone will say something, and it'll mean something In the name of love In the name of heaven above For the sake of love Stop, Stop, Stop In the name of love In the name of heaven above For the sake of love Stop, Stop, Stop In the name of love In the name of heaven above For the sake of love Stop, Stop, Stop
