My Love Can Beat Up Your Love

With a new world in the making
Positively no mistaking
No need for hesitating
With no line and no waiting

Welcome to the new world order
Closed minds with open borders
What have we done to our sons and daughters
We'd call someone who cares but we've run out of quarters

A generation made up of nip and tuck
Using the government as a living crutch
With no if's and's or even but's 
My love can beat up your love 

Peace, love, and understanding
Never before has been so demanding
Play the laughter track the networks are caning
In the meantime, enter the sandman

To sleep off the thoughts that differ from you
Without a care if they are or if they are not true
It won't change your mind one iota or clue
Where under the sun there's nothing new

You can kick and scream all you want
We know you know you know how to cuss
No if's and's or even but's
My love can beat up your love

I know about the NWO too Mike; your poem depicts a lot of what is going on in our society today (unfortunately!) ~Che :)
