We Don't Stop Lyrics - Everyone Deserves Music - Michael Franti

They gotta war for oil, a war for gold 

A war for money and a war for souls 

A war on terror, a war on drugs 

A war on kindness and a war on hugs 

A war on birds and a war on bees 

They gotta a war on hippies tryin' save the trees 

A war with jets and a war with missiles 

A war with high seated, government official 

Wall street war, on high finance 

A war on people who just love to dance 

A war on music, a war on speech 

A war on teachers and the things they teach 

A war for the last 500 years 

War's just messin' up the atmosphere 

A war on Muslims, a war on Jews 

A war on Christians and Hindus 

A whole lotta people just sayin' kill them all 

They gotta a war on Mumia Abu Jamal 

The war on pot, is a war that?s failed 

A war that's fillin' up the nations jails 

World war one, two, three and four 

Chemical weapons, biological war 

Bush war 1, and Bush war 2 

They gotta a war for me, they gotta a war for you! 

[Chorus] 

We can't stop it when the beat just drops! 

(And we don't stop) 

We can't stop it when the rebel rock! 

(And we don't stop) 

We can't stop until we hit those heights! 

(And we don't stop) 

We can't stop because we love this life! 

(And we don't stop) 

Dance to the new day 

Sing to the new day, Rhyme to the new day 

Transform hell into heaven God lives through, 

Grab hold of today 

Yesterday is over, tomorrow may be too late 

Everything is one but the one is off balance 

Music made for the dollar like soul and talent 

Really ain't it all about a feeling you was havin' 

As a child runnin' wild 

Before the mind programmin' set in 

Threatenin' your establishment 

Get in this energy, lay back and sit 

The next men wreckin', to the master's lips 

Head spin breathren, get to askin' if 

Where, when, Mr. President, "What do you know?" 

It's evident settin' in slow, "How does it go?" 

An unprecedented event is about to unfold 

The devil can't stop, won't stop blockin' the globe 

Fall in a cell here 

Freedom come knockin' at the door 

They try lockin' it though, but we about to explode 

We got the firefly, tiger eye apocalypse flow 

So deep in the bottom of your bottomless soul 

Send mind darts flyin' out, without a pistol 

Redesign lost minds got outta the cold 

Bring order to a world that is outta control 

"Truth" you say, I say, "How do I know?" 

[Chorus] 

I wanna rock with punks because I love punk rock 

I wanna rock with heads because I love hip hop 

I wanna rock my beats all around the block 

If I was in Baghdad then I would rock Iraq 

I wanna rock with punks because I love punk rock 

I wanna rock with heads because I love hip hop 

I wanna rock my beats all around the block 

There is just one love so the planet we rock 

New world days and new world nights 

New world wrongs and new world rights 

Putting new world funds in the new world banks 

With the new world guns on the new world tanks 

New world devils and new world gods 

New world jails see the new worlds hard 

New world names sing the new world songs 

New world planes are the new world bombs 

New world's flying, the new world's dying 

The new world's crying and the new world's trying 

New world sons and new world daughters 

They are already selling us the new world water 

New world beats for the new world to bang 

New world streets for the new world to hang 

New world president, new world drugs 

New world resident, new world thugs 

New world players for new world sports 

New world trials for the new world courts 

New world lawyers and new world laws 

New world prisons and new world bars 

New world fight the new world's fists 

The new world lighting up the new world spliffs 

New world smoke in the new world lungs 

New world's choking, the new world's done 

[Chorus: x 2] 

We don't stop.. (repeat to fade)
