Salaam Suite There's a Day (Click to listen to a sample) There's a day, we all say, children 'round the world will play. All it takes now is a stand, against the pirates of our land. For our freedom to be real, justice now the poor must feel. Take the power of the land, revolution is at hand! Black & white, rainbow colors, come together & sing as one! Stand right up, heed the call, you're the one, to bring us closer. We don't want their oily wars, fought for greed and nothing more. All the work, to make us fear, dividing you & I so near. Stir your mind, raise your voice, let them know you have a choice. Rise on up, lift your hands, topple down the beast that stands! Black & white, rainbow colors, come together & sing as one! Stand right up, heed the call, you're the one, to bring us closer.

Tear down the Walls (Click to listen to a sample)

Tear down the walls… there's no to wait, my friends.
Tear down the walls… before we're all trapped in.

Derribad los muros… no hay tiempo que perder.
Derribad los muros… pues estamos atrapados

The soul of the people… is slipping away.
Lift up your hearts and minds and... give your life away.

El alma del pueblo… se esta desvaneciendo.
Alzad los corazones y entragad la vida!

… give your life away… this is a brand new day!
… y entragad la vida… es un neuvo dia!

Step On Up (Click to listen to a sample)

Step on up -
this is an urgent call for action, your participation in the biggest change we've seen.
This is real, now get up and don't stop. Talk to everyone you see, the truth is coming free.

This is a terror… terror… terrible war!
A terrible time, with terrible control of you and me and our money…
fighting wars across the sea, killing people just like you and me. Know your history!

We got to make sure, that we stop killing innocent people around the world,
yes these are innocent people around the world that have die…
as we fill up our SUVs.
Tear away the power from this terrifying government so out of control!
Tear down the walls of their weapons manufacturers, the source of so much pain.
Was' up with these chicken-hawks who send out our soldiers
& lie to us & the world.
Their corporate profits in the billions of dollars destroying a people and their land.
Well their companies will build it right back up again.
It's not fair, its not fair, its not right, its just wrong, to kill for profit and power.

Beautiful children… mommies and daddies, just like us, who so want peace,
clean water and medicine… to save their lives… we got to save their lives!
Beautiful children… just like our own. Beautiful children…
no different from yours or mine.
I've got tears in my eyes for the children who die as these terrible lies are told!

Who's going to tell us the truth today, please tell me - who will it be?
The money… the money… can't be buying everything we see!

Do you really think they're better off dead, or in the hospital without arms or legs?
Their government elected by the pentagon, the white house of the United States?

All the while, back at home we put their relatives in secret detention.
Interrogations of American citizens without due process of the law.
American citizens… no jury or lawyer to defend them!
Because the color of their skin, the religion they follow or the language they speak.
Do we really care about human lives, does a poor Muslim really matter?
Apparently not, to ABC, CNN, NBC or Fox News.
Who hail the battle cry, and government lie, to be followed by all!

In the USA, in the USA… War is peace! Black is white.

Hey, bring me a hot dog and a side of freedom fries, pass em out to Congress too, we need them on our side.
We got this 100 billion war... song to sing! You either with us or against us ya see.
Just let us know what you got out from the library. Come on board, this is the land of the free!

Take from the poor and give to the rich, the trickle down theory is our perfect pitch.
Take from the poor and give to the rich, cuttin' em taxes is my reelection hitch.
Give them corporations the dollars they need, for their political contributions,
coming back to me.
Liberate that oil, under the sand, and we'll rule this world with an iron fist hand.

Know if you don't agree?
You just not a Patriotic ya see! You're just not a good American!
I know our military budget costs five times what we spend on education.
Well, you should know that power, power, power my friends,
is better than knowledge and education.
That's ok, look at me, look at me! I was elected by the Republican majority Supreme Court Injustices.

In the USA, in the USA… War is peace! Black is white. Shock'n Awe! Shock'n Awe!

Uranium liberation (Click to listen to a sample)

Uranium liberation… a profusion of weapons of mass delusion.
A conclusion of guns & bombs & tanks.
Estados Unidos de los pueblos del mundo… por favor.

Arab American walking down the street… how do you feel?
Japanese American from Hiroshima Nagasaki, … how do you feel?

Mexican American, Morroccan American… how do you feel?
Native American… how do you feel?
White boy, black boy, brown boy, any boy… how do you feel?
Black girl, white girl, brown girl, any girl… how do you feel?

Uranium liberation… a profusion of weapons of mass delusion.
A conclusion of guns & bombs & tanks.
Estados Unidos de los pueblos del mundo… por favor.

Billions & billions of your tax dollar… go to war!
Billions of dollars of your hard earned cash… go to war!

Como te sientes mi amor? Como te sientes?

Ooh… my terrible friend.

We'll give you all you need to squeeze the land.
Wipe them out, who oppose your hand.
Subjugate & terrorize… all of them who want to lift their lives!
You'll fight the wars we want you to, and when its time we'll come for you.
It was a fine day to look away, but now my friend you just can't stay.
