"Love Insurrection" lyrics - PRIMAL SCREAM

Manichean times, have you heard the rumours of war?
The blind lead the blind and the truth ain't truth anymore
Poets warned about the coming storm
No one reads books these days
Conspiracy and illiteracy have taken their place

[Chorus:]
Love insurrection
Love insurrection
We're lost and we need direction
We need a love insurrection

Manichean times test us all, what do we believe?
When we punish the poor for being poor and celebrate greed
Should the hungry be fed and housed and protected from markets?
Should wealth be shared? Shall we lay down our flags and our banners?
And all the things that divide us
And all the anger inside us

[Chorus:]
Love insurrection
Love insurrection
We're lost and we need direction
I'm praying for a love insurrection

In the country of the blindm the one-eyed man is king
The planet's on fire and peace remains a dream
Where you gonna run when humiliated multitudes rise?
Where you gonna hide when the steel rain falls from the sky?
Are you ready to die for that pie in the sky?

[Chorus:]
I'm praying for a love insurrection
A love insurrection
We're losing and we need direction
(I'm praying for a) I need a love insurrection

[Bridge:]
Sisters and brothers estranged from each other
Divided and ruled, taken for fools
Love and democracy versus plutocracy
This could be heaven, it's hell where we're heading

[Chorus:]
Love insurrection
Love insurrection
We're lost and we need direction
We need a love insurrection

[Outro:]
Dicono che siamo impossibilisti
Sognatori romantici
Non ancora cresciuti
Le nostre richieste ingenue e stupide
Le nostre credenze una religione fallita
Ma come e certo che il sole domani sorgera cosi faranno I figli del futuro contro ingiustizie, rabbia e crudelta
L'animo umano non sara mai sconfitto
Viva l'amore
No pasaran
