LEVEL 42 - The Chant Has Begun lyrics

rate me

The spirit of the people<br>The spirit of the people<br>The spirit of the people<br>The rhythm has begun ...<br><br>Old men with their protocol<br>Lead us off to war<br>Sometimes we don't even know<br>What we're fighting for<br>Marching to the beat of their drum<br><br>Leaders we no longer trust<br>Told too many lies<br>The promises they made to us<br>Were never realised<br>Hear me now the chant has begun<br><br>Nowhere left to turn<br>No-one left to turn to<br>Voices raised in anger<br>They don't have the answer<br>Our whole world's in danger<br><br>Oil slicks on the ebbing tide<br>Progress out of hand<br>Blind men choke on swallowed pride<br>Heads down in the sand<br>Don't wanna see the damage they've done<br><br>Trees destroyed by acid rain<br>Falling from the skies<br>When our children place the blame<br>Who will tell them why<br>Hear me now the chant has begun<br><br>Why is love so rare<br>All this talk of warfare<br>Voices raised in anger<br>They don't have an answer<br>Pass the word along<br>We can wait no longer<br>Too much blind destruction<br>Follow love's instructions<br>Now the chant has begun<br><br>(chant)<br><br>Make your choice there's no escape<br>Add your voice, the chant has begun
