The Chant Has Begun Lyrics - Living It Up - Level 42

the spirit of the people 

the spirit of the people 

the spirit of the people 

the rhythm has begun ... 

old men with their protocol 

lead us off to war 

sometimes we don't even know 

what we're fighting for 

marching to the beat of their drum 

leaders we no longer trust 

told too many lies 

the promises they made to us 

were never realised 

hear me now the chant has begun

nowhere left to turn 

no-one left to turn to 

voices raised in anger 

they don't have the answer 

our whole world's in danger 

oil slicks on the ebbing tide 

progress out of hand 

blind men choke on swallowed pride 

heads down in the sand 

don't wanna see the damage they've done 

trees destroyed by acid rain 

falling from the skies 

when our children place the blame 

who will tell them why 

hear me now the chant has begun 

why is love so rare 

all this talk of warfare 

voices raised in anger 

they don't have an answer 

pass the word along 

we can wait no longer 

too much blind destruction 

follow love's instructions 

now the chant has begun 

(chant) 

make your choice there's no escape 

add your voice, the chant has begun
