lyrics

Multitudes (written by Jacopo de Nicola)
Multitudes are working every day to become what they are not
Multitudes struggle every day just holding on to what they’ve got
Multitudes meander a thousand miles chasing after a big dream
Multitudes always end up drowning their own souls deep down in the mainstream

Multitudes love killing one another in the name of stupid gods
A thousand years have gone by and we’re still falling for their pointless fraud
Is there anything we can do stop this cyclic mess?
Is there anything we can do? I’m kind of losing hope here, I might confess

Multitudes are marching to the drums of algorhythmic maths
Multitudes live under constant threat of soulless drones and psychopaths
Multitudes cringe at the mere sight of a cute abused pet
Multitudes don’t bat an eye in front of fellow humans falling falling falling through the net

Multitudes the time is now, let’s all rise up and take a stand
And help the world reclaim its spirit its path to human freedom, liberation and romance
