One Small Step... Part 2 for Example Songtext

von Manning

Took more than 40 years to make me who I am,
Less chance of changing now than making the grave
Born into hopefulness and ending up a slave to
Money (makes the World go round),
Money (buys me things),
Money (for down payment from the wages of sin)
(The human race!)

Don't you cross my boundaries, stay just where you are
You might want my property, you might steal my car
8And I will protect it with all that I am,
The powerful motive of the consumer man
(The human race!)

I see what I want and what I want, I take from you!
The doctrine in my ancient books tells me that I'm true,
Only following the words that I learned from youth
Where's the hate? Stop the World it's getting much too late!

Black, white, yellow or red, we sow the sacred ground with our dead,
True blue, Muslim, Jew - all the faithful victims are bred,
I'm only following the writing on the wall,
Overall, when did we become so pitifully small?
