every damn day when i go turn on the news
i see hate crimes, war crimes child abuse
hate between christians and moslem and hindus and jews

all the while corrupt politicians with short sighted views
sell out the earth for a corporate schmooze
providing a scapegoat among us for us to accuse

the men at the top steal all of the wealth
exploiting the people and destroying our health
distracting us to keep us of us fighting among ourselves

but we are one we are one
we share this life under this sun
we are one we are one we are one

the media is owned by a handful of guys
in a perfect position to emphasize
trivialities and sensationalist distractions

but behind the scenes it is just a charade
TERROR WARNING - to keep us afraid
slowly strippin away all of our rights - in the name of protection

but we are one we are one
we share this life under this sun
we are one we are one we are one

the system's keeping us divided
and it's time to get united
we are one we are one we are one

it seems like all the news i ever hear is bad
makes it seem like the world's gone mad
but that's not the world that i see when i open my eyes

but when i listen to the news i start to fill up with hate
it's incredibly easy to manipulate me
when i have no way to tell the truth from the lies

so fuck the news fuck the news
fuck the fear that they infuse
fuck the news fuck the news fuck the news

it's too much energy i lose
that i need to fight the battles i choose so
fuck the news fuck the news fuck the news

with all the lies i just don't know what to believe
but i know one thing

we are one we are one
we share this life under this sun
we are one we are one we are one

the life i feel inside of me
is the same life inside a tree
we are one we are one we are one
