Slingshot Miracle

The Great Dictator
In this world there is 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 poisoned men's souls Has barricaded the world with hate Our knowledge has made us cynical Our cleverness, hard and unkind We think too much and feel too little More than 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, & 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 Men who despise you, enslave you Who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts You are not machines You are not cattle - You are men Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You have the love of humanity in your hearts You don't hate - only the unloved hate The unloved and the unnatural Soldiers, don't fight for slavery Fight for liberty
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written 'The Kingdom of God is within man' Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men - in you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines The power to create happiness You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful To make this life a wonderful adventure
Then, in the name of democracy Let us use that power - let us all unite Let us fight for a new world A decent world A decent world You, the people, have the power Don't fight for slavery Fight for liberty
Brutes have risen to power - but they lie They do not fulfill that promise. They never will Dictators free themselves But they enslave the people
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise Let us fight to free the world To do away with national barriers To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance Let us fight for a world of reason A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
