zeitgeist movement song - don't let them deceive you

I wish I could say everything’s just peachy,
That life is easy — but you and I know it’s not.
They’ve got everyone thinking, “that’s just how it is,”
So no one asks if the system could stop.

A culture built on cutthroat games,
Where winning means someone else takes the blame.
But the truth they hide is we’ve got all we need,
To lift each other up and let the world breathe.

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes —
You know there’s something wrong with this picture.
We draw our power from the spirit of the times.
Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist.

Wouldn’t it be something if no one had to fight
Just to have a warm bed or a meal each night?
We could build a world with dignity and grace,
A future worth leaving for the human race.

My generation’s got fire in our veins,
All we need is a spark to ignite real change.
We'll rise from the ashes and find hope again —
Fueled by truth and a vision with no end.

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes —
You know there’s something wrong with this picture.
We draw our power from the spirit of the times.
Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist.

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power,
The world will know peace.” — and that is the hour
We shift from fear to collective might,
And turn on the future’s guiding light.

This is the dawning of a brave new dawn,
Where all under the sun can be transformed.
When it's all said and done, love will conquer war —
And silence the hunger we can’t ignore.

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes —
You know there’s something wrong with this picture.
We draw our power from the spirit of the times.
Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist.
