Spreading Love Amidst Turmoil: American Idle Message
Lyrics
I can’t stand all this fussing and fighting
I dislike the conflicts and arguments
We don't need all this bleeding and dying
We shouldn't have unnecessary suffering and death
Oh it hurts can’t you see that we’re crying?
Expressing pain and the need for understanding through tears
Like a slap in the face to your mother
Comparing harmful actions to a disrespectful act towards one's mother
When we take and we steal from our brother
Criticizing taking and stealing from fellow human beings
When we should be helping each other yeah
Advocating for mutual assistance and cooperation
Take a good long look in the mirror
Encouraging self-reflection and awareness
Can’t you see that you’re burnt from the fire?
Noticing the consequences (burnt from the fire) of one's actions
If you say that you don't you’re a liar yeah
Calling out dishonesty when denying responsibility
Just stop the greed and the murder
Urging an end to greed and violence
All the racism because of your color
Addressing the negative impact of racism based on skin color
All we need is to love one another
Promoting the essential need for love among people
Oh it’s time to spread some love
Advocating the time for spreading love
Everybody knows you gotta make a dollar just to get along
Acknowledging the necessity of earning money for survival
Cause you have to, you have to yeah yeah
Emphasizing the obligation to do what is necessary
Love is something else and we always seem to leave it on the shelf
Contrasting the neglect of love despite its importance
Why do we have to? We don't have to yeah
Questioning the reasons behind neglecting love
Everybody knows you gotta make a dollar just to get along
Reiterating the need to make money for survival
Cause you have to, you have to yeah yeah
Re-emphasizing the obligation to do what is necessary
Love is something else and we always seem to leave it on the shelf
Highlighting the tendency to overlook love
Why do we have to? Don't have to no
Questioning the necessity of neglecting love
A parar de pelear y matar nos
Encouraging to stop fighting, killing, and envying
de morir y sangrar envidiar nos,
Rejecting the idea of dying, bleeding, and envying
vamos a desparramar amor
Promoting the idea of spreading love instead
Everybody knows you gotta make a dollar just to get along
Reiterating the need to earn money for survival
Cause you have to, you have to yeah yeah
Emphasizing the obligation to do what is necessary
Love is something else but we always seem to leave it on the shelf
Repeating the neglect of love despite its importance
Why do we have to? We don't have to yeah
Questioning the reasons behind neglecting love
Everybody knows you gotta make a dollar just to get along
Reiterating the need to make money for survival
Cause you have to, you have to yeah yeah
Emphasizing the obligation to do what is necessary
Love is something else and we always seem to leave it on the shelf
Highlighting the tendency to overlook love
Why do we have to? Don't have to yeah yeah
Questioning the necessity of neglecting love
