The Dictator - Dan Reed
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't want to be
An emperor
An emperor
An emperor
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
Anyone
Anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
Jew gentile
Black man white
Black man
Black man
Black man white
Black man white
Black man white
We all want to help one another
Human beings are like that
We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
In this world there's room for everyone
And the good earth is rich
Rich rich
The way of life can be free and beautifull
But we have lost the way
Greed has poisoned men's souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Hate hate hate
We have developed speed
But we have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives abundance
Has left us in want
We think too much
And feel too little
Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness hard and unkind
The more the machinery
We need humanity
The more the machinery
The more the machinery
We need humanity humanity
Some day the dolphin will take
Back the sea
Some day the lioncage will set
The lions free
We're all Gods angels
Show them your face
Running from love is a fall from grace
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 who will pass
Then dictaters die
And the power they took from the people
Will return to the people
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
Millions of despairing men
Women and can children
Victims of a system that makes men torture
Torutre torture torture
Some day the dolphin will take
Back the sea
Some day the lioncage will set
The lions free
We're all Gods angels
Show them your face
Running from love is a fall from grace
You are not machines
Not machines
Don't give yourselves to brutes
You are men
Men who despise you and slave
You who rudiment your lives
You don't see
Tell you how to do what to think or
What to feel
Only the unloved hate
Who drill you diet you
Treat you like cattle
Soldiers don't give yourselves to these
Unnatural men
Don't fight for slavery
Machine men
With machine minds and machine hearts
You are not machine
You the people have the power
You are men
You the people have the power to make
This life free and beautifull
Beautiful
Let us fight
For a new world
For a new world
All of the angels sing tonight
Sing of world sing of world sing of
Waiting for love to
Win this fight
For a new world
For a new world
All of the angels sing tonight
A world where science and progress
Waiting for love to win this fight
Will lead to all men's hapiness
Oh all of the angels sing tonight
Sings o world sings of world sings of
Waiting for love to win this fight
For a new world
For a new world
For a new world
All of the angels sing tonight
Sings of world sings of world sings of
Waiting for love to win this fight
Without this qualities life will be violent
And all will be lost
Lost
Lost
Lost
Lost
Lost
