Justice and Unity

everybody's talking about justice and unity
all the while they're waiting for someone to lead them
everybody's wanting something to live for
but they don't know it's already here

everyone is dreaming of some great tomorrow
leaving today to die lying fallow
everyone wants a dream that will answer
the question of why they are here

all the world is pulling in different directions
while the powers that be try to crush insurrections
all the world is living on time that is borrowed
the rent is now long overdue

why do we have to suffer this shame?
who are we?
should we try to explain?
is it time to face our fears?
are they right?
should we all disappear?

everybody's talking about justice and unity
all the while they're waiting for someone to lead them
everybody's wanting something to live for
but they don't know that it's already here
