What's It All About, Alfie?...

LYRICS:

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?

 
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
 

As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.

 
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

LETTER TO THE RULING CLASS:

You control our world. 

You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. 

We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. 

You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. 

We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. 

You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. 

You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. 

You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. 

You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. 

We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. 

We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!
