The machine keeps rolling across the land,

its about oil and religion and sometimes land.

Some people have become part of the greed machine,

with no care about the deep blue and the awesome green.


Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.


Some Zealots want the end of time to be near,

they claim to be righteous without even a tear.

The religions bicker over who's God is right,

while governments join in this foolish fight.


Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.


Our leaders fret over who has the most bombs,

while quoting scripture from acts and the psalms.

Some look at others and judge the threat,

finding faults until the criteria is met.



Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.



Then the bombs are exploded and the missiles fly,

more sons and daughters are bound to die.

Some countries spend billions on death and forced ideas,

when we are all the same people, with needs and with fears.


Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.


We have advanced to a point where we understand much more,

all the wars can be ended, if we can just open the right door.

Reason and logic must rein supreme,

to unite the world with a peaceful scheme.


Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.


Respect for all others must be the foundation,

to bring all peoples to joy and elation.

No bombs or wars will fix our world's needs,

we should worry about how many people the bomb funding feeds.


Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.


Reversing our mistakes that have injured our earth,

is another cause that has much worth.

Building new walls of Humanist compassion is key,

to stop the greed machine from running over you and me!


Tear down the walls and the imaginary lines, the barbed wire, the hatred and the warning signs.
