Bomb the World Lyrics


Please, tell me the reason
Behind the colors that you fly
Love just one nation
And the whole world, we divideYou won't say, you're sorry
There is no other choice
God bless the people now
Who cannot raise their voiceWe can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peaceWhoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peaceViolence brings one thing
More more of the same
Military madness
The smell of flesh and burning painSo I sing out to the masses
Stand up if you're still sane
To all of us gone crazy

I sing this one refrainWe can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peaceWhoa, we may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peaceAnd I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
Power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?allWe may even find a solution
To hunger and disease
We can bomb the world to pieces
But we can't bomb it into peaceSay we can chase down all our enemies
We can even bring them to their knees
We can bomb the world into pieces
But we can't bomb it into peaceAnd I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing power to the peaceful
Love to the peaceful why?all
I sing

Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
