It's easy to remember the bad things people do
The good things never show up because they are so few
And so this world is filled with hatred for it is man's desire
To conquer, seek revenge and plunder and become wealthier.
We forget that there is a Lord above
We only think of Him when push comes to shove
And that is the glory of, the complete story of
A whole world without peace or love
No equality, racial unity
Only slavery and complete misery
That is what I'm speaking of - NO LOVE.
Rich man hates the wise man, wise man hates the rich
White man hates the black man, he calls him a son of a bitch
Black man butchers his own black brother and hopes he'll never prosper
And so this world holds a gloomy future from what I see so far.
We forget that there is a Lord above
We only think of Him when push comes to shove
And that is the glory of, the complete story of...Aha
A whole world without peace or love
No equality, racial unity
Only slavery and complete misery
That is what I'm speaking of - NO LOVE
The people of tomorrow are the problems of today
The old resent the young folks trying to steal their say
The women seek new liberation to overthrow their husband
While the Yankees, Chinese and the Russian - our lives are in their hand
We forget that there is a Lord above
We only think of Him when push comes to shove
And that is the glory of, the complete story of...Aha
A whole world without peace or love
No equality, racial unity
Only slavery and complete misery
That is what I'm speaking of - NO LOVE.
So now this world is frightened as any world can be
For out on the horizon this is what I see
Pollution, overpopulation, sedition, drug addiction
Universal discrimination and inevitable self-destruction.
We forget that there is a Lord above
We only think of Him when push comes to shove
And that is the glory of, the complete story of
A whole world without peace or love
No equality, racial unity
Only slavery and complete misery
That is what I'm speaking of - NO LOVE.

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Mighty Sparrow.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
Guanaguanare
