Lyrics

Yeah

Expressing affirmation or agreement.

You see the money like the dollar is your friend now

Viewing money as a companion or ally.

You see the human as the race that you can win now

Perceiving humans as a competition to be won.

You see the animal as food to fill the plate now

Seeing animals primarily as a source of food.

You see your brother as the reason you can hate now

Considering one's brother as a cause for hatred.

You see the family, as little two or three so

Regarding family as limited to a small number.

You treat the rest as if they aren't even people

Treating others outside the family as less than human.

You trust the government

Having trust in the government.

Plus you trust the steeple

Also having trust in religious institutions.

Get on your knees nothing's equal

Submitting to authority without questioning.


We call more, more, more

Desire for more material possessions and wealth.

More, more, more

-

They say until you got it all

-

You got nothing at all

-

At all

Emphasizing the emptiness of having everything.

They cry more, more, more

Continued craving for more, irrespective of the consequences.

Just give me more, more, more

-

So I'm saying who are we

Reflecting on the collective identity and societal changes.

And what have we become

-

What do I keep dreaming of

Pondering personal dreams and aspirations.

What am I dreaming of

-

Yeah

Critiquing societal expectations imposed on women.

What if we treated our daughters like our sons more

-

And told them living off your looks will leave ya done for

-

And told them truth is in yourself and you're the reason

-

But we give them makeup and tell them this you should believe in

-

It's been 100 years and these girls are not free

-

We let them vote and tell them that should make them happy

Highlighting societal contradictions and double standards.

They see that sex and prostitution's what you're after

-

You turn your sister to a beautiful disaster

-

More, more, more

Reiteration of the insatiable desire for more.

It happens more, more, more

-

They say until you got it all

-

You got nothing at all

-

They cry more, more, more

Intensifying the plea for an abundance of possessions.

Just give me more, more, more

-

So I'm saying who are we

Questioning the current state of humanity and personal aspirations.

And what have we become

-

What do I keep dreaming of

-

What am I dreaming of

-

Can't stop dreaming of

Continued contemplation of dreams and desires.

What am I dreaming of

-

What if the pace was slower like the four seasons and

Imagining a world with different values and principles.

What if one love was something everyone believed in and

-

What if a slap across the left was just your reason

-

To give a right every time the left bleeding and

-

What if the leaders were leadership that we needed and

Contemplating positive leadership and moral guidance.

What if the bible learned to speak instead of preaching it

-

Like love your brother like yourself instead of heathens and

-

What if this world was a beautiful place to be in

Envisioning a world as a beautiful place.


What if this world was a beautiful place to be in

Repeating the vision of a beautiful and harmonious world.

What if this world was a beautiful place to be in

-

What if this world was a beautiful place to be in

-

What if Earth was a beautiful world to live in

-

And what if that was more

Pondering the possibility of a better world with more positive values.

And what if that was more

-

And what if that was more

-

And what if that was more
