E. Christopher Clark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"You had better wake up and understand, that there are people who are guiding your life and you don't even know it. And all American citizens I think, have suspected something like this has been going on."

"Because our masters don't give a damn about you, or your family. All they care about is what they have always cared about and that's controlling the whole damn world."

"We have the force, we have the opportunity to forge, for our selves and for future generations, a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which incredible united nations can use its peace keeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of a new world order."
