Wisdom Of Old

 

Verse 1

Populations grow

Capitalism Fails

Ruined by greed

Fed by hate

Class wars rage

Rich versus poor

Environment a casualty

Of political law

 

Chorus

Look to the past

Philosophers of old

Words of equality

Of Utopia told

Accumulation of wealth

Misery toil and slavery

Karl Marx was right

About ignorance and brutality

Full men never understanding

Wants of the hungry

The sufferers will learn to think

Thinkers will face their armies

Look to the past

Philosophers of old

Words of equality

Of Utopia told

Guevera urged the youth

Learn to think, act as a mass

Individual thinking is criminal

Revolutionary solutions a must

It should not be a privilege

Walls of the system come down

Along with the educated rich

Look to the past

Philosophers of old

Words of equality

Money is numbers

Numbers never end

If it takes money to be happy

The search never ends

Reggae man of music

Talks of greatness of integrity

Not measured by wealth

But by his effort positively

Look to the past

Philosophers of old

Words of equality

Of Utopia told

You can chain and torture

Even destroy this boy

But his mind will be always free

Mahatma Ghandi

Peaceful revolution the answer

Mandela, King and Engels say

Organisation of the whole

To break the riches sway

 

Chorus

Look to the past

Philosophers of old

Words of equality

Of Utopia told
