English, once accepted as an international language, is no more secure than French has proved to be as the one and only accepted language of diplomacy or as Latin has proved to be as the international language of science.

The Un Is Defective
We need a UN international inquiry debate,
Because the UN is likely to cause or expand more hate,
Because dictators and their henchmen want to rule the globe,
And at the UN they can wear an ecclesiastical robe.
There must be an easier way than the UN arrangement,
Turn out the lights, change the rules and cause some rearrangement,
To a new system where hatred and threats are not allowed,
From dictators shouting in their own translated language out loud.
It's as though they make their own UN rules as they move around,
Followed by another group of friends or strange looking clowns,
With no objections because we're so politically correct,
Which is the main reason why the UN has gone into defect.

We support every effort to combat international terrorism through the formulation of international conventions and hope that the international community will take further steps to improve the anti-terrorism international legal framework.
In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.

Let It Burn
Knowledge is key.
You can never know too much.
Open your books aim to the stars
Well i won't let them
Keep me from learning all i can.
Public schools just stand up.
The system feeds our minds.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that supported slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange that
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.
I won't let you
Play me for a fool
Set me free to go to church
But i cant pray in school.
Make a decision for yourself
Don't bother with any trends
Open up a book
And share the knowledge with your friends.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that created slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange that
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.

Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language.

Change The Man
Dont talk to me about ban the bomb
Dont talk to me about whos side Im on
Replace the system with one just the same
Dont you know that we are all to blame
Its so easy as an armchair blamer
Get off your seat and make a personal change sir
Cant change the system by smashing it down
Inside route personal revolution
Chorus
Change the man
Rip out the root
Lets get rid of this insanity
When the mothers had told the kids straight
When the fathers felt no more hate
When a man can walk down the street without fear
Then thing must change and its not too late

Solar Driftwood
The Big Bang.
The ultimate hero of low frequency. The divine intergalactical bass drum connecting
the tribes of our solar system.
If we could communicate from our tiny piece of solar driftwood into another galaxy
what would we say?
We can send out pictures, symbols, chemical formulas or language.
The magic of music is a sign of consciousness that could be understood on far-flung
worlds millions of lightyears from our horizon.
Music is an interstellar language from a highly insignificant planet one of nine in
our system which sails through time and space till the next one, the next inevitable
Big Bang...

The revolutionary
The system should change,
The society should change.
Attitude and value should change.
It is the wish of a revolutionary,
Who, however, will not change.

We Got The
Who got the chance to make things right?
Why the politicians always want to fight?
The Christian coalition and the right wing ooooh!
Let me tell you what you can do
Step outside the cone of silence
Too much hatred and violence
It's time to rewind
We need a military decline
Got the power of the mind focused
Government like a locust
Are we gone or just going?
Time to act on what we be knowinh y'all
Who got the power to make a difference?
Who got the power to make a change?
Who got the power to make a difference?
We got the
We got the
We got the
Eyes on the prize and never wane
Take the bull by the reins
If you want it be the change
Like Ghandi and MLK
Wait up, got to change the system
Need knowledge, power and wisdom
Same way I rock this microphone
Speak up, just let it be known
Hey ladies, fellas
And everyone between
Take the power back, let them react
And let's show them what we mean; Check it out
Who got the power to make a difference?
Who got the power to make a change?
Who got the power to make a difference?
We got the
We got the
We got the
We can work, walk, march and protest
Think about how we approach this
Ask questions but they keep frontin'
Due time we change a little something
Hey yo don't you know
Won't forget Amaduous Diallo
To the crooked people and the crooked cops
Got to spread love before the world goes pop
Never again should we use the A-bomb
We need an international ban on
all W.O.M.D.'s gone
We need a multilateral disarm
Who got the power to make a difference?
Who got the power to make a change?
Who got the power to make a difference?
We got the
We got the
We got the

I Am In Here
i am in here
inside this system
it does not follow
that i will agree
to everything inside this system
there is this
courtesy, there is this hope that someday
things will change
that i may after all change too and like it
i am patient i will wait
i will keep my silence
i will be sane, until i explode
like a bomb
surely i will die, but i pity you beside me
keep your distance then
i am about to explode, i am almost there
