lyrics

some do it for the money but we rock for love!
roll for the love!
bear our soul for the love!
for the what?
for the love y'all!

ain't nothing above ain't nothing below
love is all there is
love we got to show
life plant seeds that survive mad snow
and the reason for that is the L.O. !
that's a message missed by the man types
thinking showing love means you ain't man right
such a sad sight. but i'ma remove some blindfolds
give that script a re-write
since forever we fight over insignificant
earthly possessions and devilish covenants
ain't no Lucifer yet to him we been listening
it's not equality that got the planet militant
no
it's the opposite fo sho
it's the lust for wealth and all that glows
it's the petrol and all that glitters
but I won't lose love I won't be bitter
i wont for pray no better future ill teach the
youth to rebel for the sake of all creatures
'causes to love the universe and its full embrace
is the one destiny of the human race
it might take aliens from outer space
to start that process of when we replace
that hate with the L O to the V E
treat each other like works of art not graffiti

<graffiti is art tho...you should know that>

some do it for the money but we rock for love
roll for the love, bear our soul for the love
for the what?
for the love y'all!

whats it like to show that 'amore' ?
it's kinda like when we keep no score
ain't no mine ain't no theirs ain't no yours
just are you full yet? no? do you want more? ok.
some of y'all call that communism
you'd be wrong but that's your decision
can you imagine a place with no prisons
and no leaders to whom we be submitting
no taking only giving
no hierarchy or forced religion
self determination means no politicians
it ain't impossible when the people have risen
i'm saying people want the good vibration
not an incitation to recite limitations
simply inviting you to use your imagination
and push! push! towards a love proclamation

some do it for the money but we rock for love
roll for the love, bear our soul for the love
for the what?
for the love y'all!
