I’m callin’ this the love crusade
The truth is like a black bouquet
Money’s got us all enslaved
The bullets and the bombs we make, oh no
It doesn’t have to be this way
But I promise it’ll stay this way
If you would rather hear me say
That everything is all okay
I don’t care for your drugs, I don’t care for your fame
Do you care for the truth if you’re not entertained?
I can see through your eyes, I can see through your pain
And you’re scared to admit you feel out of place
Can you hear that darlin'?
A revolution’s callin'
No child of ours should have to starve
Should have to die for us
Can you feel that darlin'?
The monsters marchin'
This is it, this invitation is
For the ones who love
Sincerely
I’m tellin' you the world looks perfect from a plane
A couple miles up and we all look the same
One love tryna show us the way
One love that is tryin' to change
And if we connect with that, then we should be enraged
These fat cats want us lost in the maze
And they're scared cause we're breakin' the chain
They're scared cause we're 'bout to escape
Can you hear that darlin'?
A revolution’s callin'
No child of ours should have to starve
Should have to die for us
Can you feel that darlin'?
The monsters marchin'
This is it, this invitation is
For the ones who love
Sincerely
There's a billion people
That could use a hero
Come together, we're the tether
Of this love that's spinnin' round
We could be that miracle
Can you hear that darlin'?
A revolution’s callin'
No child of ours should have to starve
Should have to die for us
Can you feel that darlin'?
The monsters marchin'
This is it, this invitation is
For the ones who love
Sincerely
The truth is like a black bouquet

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The song appears to be a commentary on how the world we live in is structured unfairly and has a facade. It points out some of the hypocrisy of modern day people, those who abuse drugs, pursue fame or those who value shallow entertainment over the harsh truths of life. It also calls attention to the "fatcats", or rich and elite classes who control the largest elements of the current world system, indicating their preference to keep mankind under the yoke of cyclical oppression, whatever that may be for us - depending on our own individual circumstances in life.
There's a lot of people that need help, and the mismanagement of this world needs a hero of sorts to rescue it, and we should not be content with the way things are being run, rather we should be enraged.
For the ones who love, Sincerely.
