Rearrange
the Gladiators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That very soon things would re-arrange
Too much innocent blood have shed
Our heart cries out, our soul grieve
If man would start to meditate
We would all see what been buggin' us
And taught the way to rob and kill
But remember one and all
No one is free till ev'ry man is free
Don't ax what your country can do for you
The question is what you can do for it...
The Gladiators’ song “Rearrange” speaks of hope and prayer for change. The lyrical content explores human suffering and proposes a solution to the problems plaguing humanity. The musicians assert that too much innocent blood has been shed, which has caused our hearts to cry out and our souls to mourn. They express the desire for things to change and for peace to be established in the world. They mention that if humanity would take time to meditate collectively, we would recognize what has been causing our problems. Additionally, they point to the reality that people have been misled by their peers and taught to rob and kill.
But in the midst of all these difficulties, the group reminds listeners that no one is truly free until every individual is free. So, they encourage people to commit themselves to working for the greater good of their country. Instead of asking what the country can do for them, they ask people to think about what they can contribute towards creating positive change. The overall message of the song is one of hope, change, and unity.

I'm hoping and I'm praying
I have faith and belief in a better future
That very soon things would re-arrange
I desire for the world to change for the better
Too much innocent blood have shed
There has been too much loss of life of innocent people
Our heart cries out, our soul grieve
We are emotionally and spiritually affected by the violence and injustice in the world
If man would start to meditate
If people could take time to reflect and think about their actions
We would all see what been buggin' us
We could understand the root causes of our problems
They've been fooled by our fellow man
People have been deceived by those in power
And taught the way to rob and kill
They have been taught to take and harm others
But remember one and all
It is important to keep in mind that
No one is free till ev'ry man is free
We cannot be truly free until everyone is free from oppression
Don't ax what your country can do for you
Don't expect your country to solve all your problems
The question is what you can do for it...
We should all actively work to make our society a better place
