lyrics

Open it up and look inside (now make your examination)
Write your report, don’t leave out a single thing
Is it what you expected, is it real (does it meet your expectation?)
Are your preconceptions justified by what you see?

When you strip away the propaganda (is the message clear?)
Or is it screaming so loud that you can’t hear?

In a better world, in another time (can you hear celestial singers?)
This utopian dream can be fully realised
There’s no pointing of fingers, no passing the blame (there’s no point in pointing fingers)
Could we stand up and take the responsibility?

I’ve got to (I’ve got to) x2
We’ve got to (We’ve got to) x2

Show love, love, love to everyone in creation
Love, love, let go of fear and start to build relationship with you
(I’ve got to break down barriers between you and me)

They’ve told you I hate you, it isn’t so (can’t explain the disconnection)
But it’s a cynical world, who’d love for me to get it wrong
Can we fight this perception, let the truth shine through? (we oppose this misconception)
This misrepresentation may sell newspapers galore but won’t spread love

love, love to everyone in creation
Love, love, let go of fear and start to build relationship with you
(I’ve got to break down barriers between you and me)

I’ve got aching eyes as I read the headlines
I’m not sure why I still so surprised
That’s not what he said, he’s quoted out of context
Inflammatory remarks have made this like a contest

Going round in circles is totally unhelpful
Going round in circles is totally unhelpful
Turn this around, turn this around
There’s only one way we can turn this around

Take a guy with a radical extreme view
Raise him up high and put him on a pedestal
Give him a platform from which to share his wisdom
It’s not representative but it’s good television

Going round in circles is totally unhelpful
Going round in circles is totally unhelpful
Turn this around, turn this around
There’s only one way we can turn this around
Turn this around, turn this around
There’s only one way we can turn this around
(Turn this all around my friend, please turn this all around)

Everyday we see another one
We never know when the blow is going to come
Can I get a tee-shirt that says he’s not with me?
I still love my brother, I just disagree.

Viewing, reading, hearing, disseminating like a virus it spreads
recording, sharing, linking downloading, it’s everywhere, constantly fed

Picture, paper, bill hoarding, screen
Speaker, tablet, smart phone, magazine

Viewing, reading, hearing, disseminating like a virus it spreads
recording, sharing, linking downloading, it’s everywhere, constantly fed

Picture, paper, bill hoarding, screen

Turn this around, turn this around
There’s only one way we can turn this around
Turn this around, turn this around
There’s only one way we can turn this around

Show love, love, love to everyone in creation
Love, love, let go of fear and start to build relationship with you
