Change the World
D-A-L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more?
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding
Still more feeding, economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey
Who needs money? Monopoly
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
World pollution
There's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white
Rich or poor
Them and us
Stop the war
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
The lyrics of D-A-L's song "Change the World" talk about the chaotic state of the world and the singer's desperate desire to create a positive change but being clueless about how to do it. The opening lines highlight the diversity and differences in people's lifestyles and choices, referring to "freaks and hairies" (people with unconventional lifestyles) and "dykes and fairies" (gay people). The singer then questions where "sanity" is in all of this, emphasizing the craziness of the world.
Moving on, the lyrics mention the dichotomy between the rich and poor and the call for the rich to be taxed and the poor to be fed until there are no more rich. The next part of the lyrics speaks about the constant breeding of the population and the negative impact it has on the nation; despite the bleeding, the economy still thrives. The singer seems to be unsure of the importance of money, as they wonder, "Who needs money? Monopoly."
The lyrics then touch upon the problem of world pollution and the lack of a viable solution. The mention of "electrocution" as a possible solution highlights the despair felt by the singer. The final lines of the song emphasize the need for unity and peace, as the singer sings, "Stop the war." Through the repetition of the line, "I'd love to change the world but I don't know what to do," the singer conveys their frustration and helplessness, leaving the responsibility to the listener to make a change.

It''s by Design.
Listen Carlin's tirade on Education.
Even at the Ivy-League, much of ita Out-Put is Indoctrination.
Usury Uber-Mafia have allways:
Selected, Saddled & Empowered Assets, PROXIES & Stooges as "Golem" (their Trolls), to take over the World:
From Mohamed's "Islam" (Submission), to Holland's bucaneers, through UK's, up to USA or Communist China.
Pays for a while, but allways ends by a Back-Stab.
Or be in the other side and being Put-Down and taken over through Fratricide «Revolutions» or Civil War (anti)-French, (anti)-Russian, ... (anti)-Spanish.
Now, their «New©» «Worl-Order» is not just for "the New© Global Currency". Its for their Luciferian Integral Usurpation.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
فَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَاهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ ۚ بَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
When harm touches man, he calls to Us (for help); then when We have (rescued him from that harm and) changed it into a favour from Us, he says: "Only because of knowledge (that I possess) I obtained it." Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them know not!
قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Verily, those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not.
فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا ۚ وَالَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا وَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ
So, the evil results of that which they earned overtook them. And those who did wrong of these will also be overtaken by the evil results for that which they earned; and they will never be able to escape.
أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Do they not know that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills, and straitens it (for whom He wills). Verily, in this are Ayat (Signs) for a people who believe! [Az-Zumar 39:49-52]
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists), the splendour of the life of this world, that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting. [Ta-Ha 20:131]

A "MOMENT ?" Ha, I fear he inspired me to write a book about a guy from the Bronx who tried to tell me this DECADES ago.
Surely another video is coming; Put him on my " A" list of vides to review.
I'll just bet that some of the TEACHERS who are watching this video, will be USING this video to enhance some of their classes as we "speak?"
I, personally don't like "reading books", though I did make it through the Communist Manifesto in High School! I'D LOVE TO "SEE" hear this man write a FOLLOW UP VIDEO... Perhaps he could TRY to see it to the Junior Highs as well as the high schools, too ?
Great speaker AND a great writer; a rare combination to be found these days on the internet. Now I wonder why "economics" wasn't required at my high school???? Should have been right up there with World History, should it not have ?
This author is influencing allot of students, I think, too ? -This being MY book; if I had written one, it would be "about" how "unconditional love for humanity" IS possibly more important than the concept of " World Economics ?" I was engaged to a guy from New York, Manhattan Island, actually, he always talked about his high school, "Stiverson?" I think. He and I continually debated this; Him being an economic major, and an art minor he said just for fun and some easy units !). and me being a Sociology Major, and a Music minor from California. He took a job with a company in Van Nuys, "Hooker Headers"..I'd thought a funny name back then; He had worked his way up to a position of Manager of the J.C. Penney, a Tire company on Manhattan Island, BECAUSE, he said he loved race cars, and knew how to get supporters just by "working with and around" these types of people. Though I never have liked "loud noises", I'd accompany him to his racing the car they titled " The Penny Pincher"...financed by JC Penny, of course. A good-lookin' hard working, determined handsome man, George Jasous had also played football with the "Jets." ("Great exercise and good planning in the brain," he'd say! ) Unfortunately, George was not a great "health enthusiast," and he passed away at quite a young age; I attributed that to the "stress" involved in his economically superior ideas... He used to take me to night clubs and listen to me sing, and our debate would always ensue over and over. He'd say "Economics Rule the World", and I'd continue to contend, the "heart" rules the world. No one ever won the debate, and we also, never married. I did learn that his suggestion of "working in and around the types of people who are successfully active at what you "think" your own goals are" holds merit.. but I still am writing music, avoiding the stress of the "performance", and am not a quitter. But the debate still remains....George sort of had an "Unconditional love" toward ME... I still pursue ""Unconditional love toward humanity." Not having the tenacity to write the full symphony, nor the book, I'm sure I will someday write a song dedicated to George... Not " Born in the USA", it would instead be " Born in Brooklyn"...Never met a New Yorker who was a quitter, ha. Economics may rule the world, but I still contend, that love for ones fellow man, still rules the world. (George would say I'm just dreaming!) . Perhaps I felt compelled to write this, because I see some high school students really APPRECIATING this video..so well done, and by a great speaker, too.
"I Ain't no Middleman"

RIP George- He was never a "middle man" either.

Your not thinking this clearly Hootus.
Dalio brought millions, if not billions to the pockets of the CCP, which funds their CCP effort to dominate the world and convert it to communism.
It is the same as supporting the neighbour street gang (for whatever financial reasons) and they degrade the neighbour further because of their corrupt actions.
The CCP has been using greed, money, promises of wealth (ie: debt diplomacy style) to take control of wealth in the world, using the greed of Western investors and businesses to do it.
This is what the WEF (World Economic Forum) plans are all about, they are in sync with the plans of Xi Zinping because they know about Dalio's rise and fall scenarios and as the world financial elites, per the Dalio video information, they want the winning side.
What is that for the rest of the world? - servitude to the CCP and poverty.
(and there is a lot more to this)
People like Dalio helping the CCP only accelerates the rise of China and a World War with the USA (per the video).
So yes, it matters a whole lot of what Dalio is doing with the CCP, in fact what he should not do.
Does that make it clearer for you?
@JESUSCHRIST-ONLYWAYTOHEAVEN
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU REJECT HIM, TOTAL SEPARATION FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DONT WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
