World Love
The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 2 [1999]
The government falls
Here come the cops
From Tokyo to Soweto viva la musica pop
We are black & white
And we dance all night down at the hop
And the letters were tall
On the Berlin Wall viva la musica pop
So if you're feeling low
Stuck in some bardo I
Even I know the solution
Love, music, wine and revolution
Love, love, love music, wine and revolution
This too shall pass
So raise your glass to change and chance
And freedom is the only law shall we dance...
