"The absurdity of how our minds have been, and are being, manipulated and twisted to believe those less fortunate than us, are somehow the cause of all our problems."hich do exist, but also to the sameness in us that also exists.”

There is a family in another country
No running water in their homes
A rugged life, way too hard for you or me
No grand possessions of their own

Through this prism, from our own reality
And all the stories we've been told
How can I feel that they're a threat to me?
With all I have and all I own?

Listen to the TV, all we've heard
Over and over, twisted words
Day after day, again and again
Twisted words say it's, Us & Them
Just Us & Them

Just like that family in that country
We love our children and our homes
Hurting them won't bring us safety
Why don't leave those folks alone

Here's a word for the commentators
Who fill our heads with all this noise
And one for your corporate masters
We're on to you "good old boys"

Turn off the TV, listen to the wind
Over and over and over again
Clear your head, measure your words
Children learn from what they've heard

Turn off the TV, listen to the wind
Over and over and over again
Clear your head, measure your words
It ain't Us & Them, it's just one world
All one world, all one world
