Turn off the TV

Here's a great one by Jack Johnson - maybe its time we turned off the TV?...
- "You win it's your show now
So what's it going to be?
Because people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?...
Before we lose touch
And we thought this was low
Well it's bad, getting worse…
Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels and I don't see them on the tv shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused, got too much to lose
Give me some truth now, who's side are we on
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube, i'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way now…
(corus)
Sitting around feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it's all going to be
You might notice some hesitation
Because its important to you, it's not important to me
But way down by the edge of your whole reason
It's beginning to show and I really want to know is…
(corus)
They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing one, two man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway
Okay, whatever you say
Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
Going, going, gone"
There are many pathways up the mountain,
but the view from the top remains the same.
Where's the truth? Where's the love?
This is one by the Black Eyed Peas which I'm sure everyone is familiar with. The words really resonate with what's happening today all over the world, but it's not all doom and gloom. Doesn't matter how you say it, people are 'getting it' - they can see the truth. This is where the hope lies I think...
Where's the love?
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the usa, the big cia
The bloods and the crips and the kkk
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how angers works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek
Father, father, father help us
Send guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (love)
Where is the love (the love)
Where is the love (the love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
In
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (i don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (i don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek
Father, father, father help us
Send guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (love)
Where is the love (the love)
Where is the love (the love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till lovers are bound
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Father, father, father help us
Send guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (love)
Sing with me y'all
That's all we got( 0ne world one world)
That's all we got( 0ne world one world)
That's all we got( 0ne world one world)
That's all we got( 0ne world one world)
And somthins wrong with it(yeah)and somthins wrong with it(yeah)
And somthins wrong with the wuh wuh world uhh
That's all we got( 0ne world one world)
That's all we got( 0ne world one world)
