David Steen State of War song lyrics

Greed has poisoned 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 abundance has left us in want.

Our knowledge has made us cynical.

Our cleverness, hard and unkind.

We think too much and feel too little.

More than machinery we need humanity.

More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities,

life will be violent and all will be lost...

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!

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...
