Positive Effect Lyrics

Positive Effect Lyrics

I can't wait
I Can't wait
Till freedom comes
And life will be so dear
I can't wait
Till the darkness goes
After all these years
There's a light on the horizon
And darkness starts to fade
And all the shadows lose their deep dark corners
Reveal what was in their shade
There's always reason for complaining
But there also comes a time
When people put their hands together
And resolve all nations' crimes
What we need is some positive effect
Something real to reinforce our self-respect
Do you feel the effect is quite direct
What you feel when you put your hand in mine
If we agree that we're all equal
Then why infringe on another's rights?
Abuse their power and their magnitude
Do they believe that right is might?
Just to feed the greed of the corporate industries
They declare a permanent state of war in their ministries
Do they believe the people of the world dont see the discrepancies?
"Spread democracy" is the word, but the truth is malignancy
What we need is some positive effect
Something real to reinforce our self-respect
Do you feel the effect is quite direct
What you feel when you put your hand in mine
What's their justification
For the destruction of these nations
For all the killing, and billing, and banking, and spilling
Takes us one step back in humanity
And one step forward in primitivity
Free Palestine, free Iraq right now
It's the only way we can advance anyhow
Let's join our hands together, put these words into effect
Let's return to the world its self-respect!
What we need is some positive effect
Something real to reinforce our self-respect
Do you feel the effect is quite direct
What you feel when you put your hand in mine
