Don't want to talk with you no more
Don't want to shut that door on you
Only want to stop what's causing this commotion
This ain't a case of pick and choose
It's more about if you win or lose
This is the way, it's not about my emotions
Love, hope, peace, justice
I'm sick and tired of what I see
I've found another way to be
Cos everything I see is blighted, or it's rusted
I'll take a chance and turn away
I'm giving up on you today
Cos if I don't I know I will be busted
Love, hope, peace, justice
Don't want to shut that door on you
Only want to stop what's causing this commotion
It's more about if you win or lose
This is the way, it's not about my emotions
I've found another way to be
Cos everything I see is blighted, or it's rusted
I'm giving up on you today
Cos if I don't I know I will be busted

This track speaks about frustration and disillusionment with the world and a desire to change the current state of affairs rampaging throughout the world and a longing for justice. Repetition of the phrase "Love, hope, peace, justice" serves as a mantra or rallying cry to rally the ones to right the things our world's lacking; They're ideals that are lacking in the world and our primary focus of attention. The existing structures and systems are flawed and no longer serve the greater good, thus they need to be broken to be rebuilt so to speak. The final lines, "I'll take a chance and turn away, I'm giving up on you today, Cos if I don't I know I will be busted," critiques the decision to shut out and run away from the current situation; Roughly stating how remaining passive or complacent isn't an option.
Overall, this song is a profound yearning for a fairer and more equitable world, advocating for the prioritization of love, hope, peace, and justice in the face of societal challenges, and serves as a call to action for positive change.
