paroles de chanson We Think Too Much - .Eehou

I′m sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor
That′s not my business
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
Jew, Gentile, Black Man, White
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that
We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other′s misery
We don′t want to hate and despise one another

And this world has room for everyone,
And the good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way
Greed has posioned men's souls

Has barricaded the world with hate,
Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want

Our knowledge has made us cynincal
Our cleverness, hard and unkind
We think too much, and feel too little
More than machinery, we need humanity
More that cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness
In men cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the
World millions of despairing men, women, and little children

Victims of a system that makes men
Torture and imprison innocent people
To those who can hear me, I say do not despair
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of
Greed the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
And the power they took from the people will return to the people
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish

Soldiers!
Don′t give yourselves to brutes
