Erykah Badu:
Can I sing? 'I want a world where kids can play, and plenty of food to eat. I want a world where I can speak, and know that I'll be free. I want a world just like America, like the U.S.A. Cause even though, perfect it's not; it's the best thing this world's got.' You know, we learn those types of songs. So, we learn not to question our government and be grateful for everything we got, but we didn't know that it was at the expense of many other people in our own country and all over the world. Because you're taught to fear that you don't have enough; and want and want and want. So, it perpetuates greed. We are kept uneducated, sick and depressed. There's a happy ending, but with not happy mistakes, first. And one of the biggest mistakes is, umm... the greed.
