Overcome (The Recapitulation) Songtext / Lyric

We've had.

We've had enough of the politicians

We've had enough yeah

Of these politician's wars

All we need right now is love

We've had enough of these military scoreboards

What we need right now is love, come on

We've had enough of these politician's wars

All we need right now is love

We've had enough of these military scoreboards

What we need right now is love

(Turn it up)

The future is held in the hands who right the textbooks,

Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught

To the youth instead of past mistakes and mind elevation,

Like the graves that manifest destiny has created.

So we can build our capitalist consumer based economy,

To build, market, and sell commodities we don't need.

But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging

Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope that you will be with me

- -

I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.

Ahhhhhhhhh,

I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,

Ooooohhhhhh

I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.

Ahhhhhhhhh

I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,

Ahhh,

- -

(Come on)

I can't wait for the day when I hear us all screaming,

HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.

When every race color and creed of militant human beings stand up

With fists together for substance and true meaning

Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement

We're too caught up in a material status quo punishment

And one thing is for sure and that's the sun will always set,

Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite

So baby take a axe to your makeup kit

Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements

Love with all your hearts and never forget

How good it feels to be alive and strive for your desire

Just cause you can't see your cage doesn't mean that you are free

When there are laws against nature but its ok for you to be

Addicted to over the counter prescriptions

And magazines dictate all our human relations

- -

I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in

To a culture that objectifies all of our women

I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming

The apathetic dribble on the news media's chin

I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in

The lies that are sold through textbooks to children

I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming

Cause the positive will always overcome the negative right

- -

And we stay inside, its right outside, we stand in line

We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay

But I'm not giving in.
