The World Is Planned
Written by Steve Wallis
Version 3, 17/9/2008
CHORUS:
Can you understand
That the world is planned?
But free will has a hand
In the struggle for every land!
There are conspiracies on each side
One ensured that Princess Diana died
She could have become a bride
Of a Muslim, turning the tide
Against hatred and war
And oppression of the poor
Don’t be fatalistic
Be bold but realistic
We can all affect society
And help put an end to misery
CHORUS
To get the rich off our backs
Try to force them to pay tax
The loopholes are very lax
Let’s open up the cracks
Conspiracies are now in our favour
We may even split New Labour
CHORUS
Our trust is being abused
Computer modelling is used
By forces good and bad
Let’s get even not just mad
The press is conducting a campaign of hate
Big business does not want an independent Scottish state
It’d be a step towards a socialist society
A reversal of the bosses’ daylight robbery
They promote gambling with the National Lottery
And made money out of us very easily
But gambling on the stock market
No longer always makes a profit
CHORUS
The tables are turning
The working class is learning
The middle class is also yearning
For a change our rulers are spurning
We won’t put up with it any more
Let’s end poverty, environmental destruction and war!
Life for some is grey
But we all have a say
We are on our way
To a brighter day
CHORUS
They controlled the weather
Let’s defeat them together
If good Muslims, Christians and Jews
Unite with other good people, we can’t lose
Muslims believe Jesus was great
So oppose those who spread messages of hate
Whether they are politicians, fascists
Or religious fundamentalists
CHORUS
Note that the first version of this song, which I wrote and recorded in March 2007, was badly flawed because it suggested that the world was entirely planned with no scope for the free will of individuals to affect society. The second version corrected that flaw and brought it up-to-date. This version puts control of the weather in the past tense, because bad conspirators are in too weak a position to manipulate it to suit their purposes (as shown by the escalation of the economic crisis in September 2008). I have recorded this version of the song as a musical poem, in MP3 format.
