Woke up to do something
diverted by the news five nights a day
strike with precision inflict jingoism
for fools to guzzle wage.
Lying down on the fire
i found something to say
you complain about most things
but do nothing.
Lay down with the sleeping children now x3
make the children wake.
Shine my ways
feels like your god is scratching my faith
just like you said sometimes
it’s like an ocean perfect at times.
Nuclear fights like the subway
are shooting back at you in your insidious ways
let this peaceful coalition destroy television
and get books for children’s sake.
[chorus]
Shakti
Bring down the commotion
bringing the commotion down! x2
