 Sitting here and wondering, watching the  going by
 Each new answer just brings ten new 
 My eyes have  opened
 Armored  wrecks walking the streets
  for a leader to take away their pain
 We have not  anything
 
 Let me  another day
 Without sorrow,  shame
  me feel the wind on my face
 Let  feel the sun
 And live my days  fun
 Let me sing this hymn  life

 I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor - that's not my business - I don't want to rule or  anyone. I should
 like to help everyone if possible, Jew,  black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
 We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the good  is rich and can provide for everyone
 The way of life can be free and 
  we have lost the way.
 Greed has  men's souls - has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
 We have developed speed  we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
 
 Our knowledge has  us cynical
 Our cleverness hard  unkind.
 We think too much  feel too little
 More than machinery we  humanity
  than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
 
 The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodnessin men, cries out for universal  for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say Do not despair
 
 The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,  bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish...
 
 Soldiers - don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you - who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and  to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
 
 Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are  You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate - only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!
 
 In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written ;the kingdom of God is within man; - not one man, nor a group of men - but in all men - in you! You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power  create happiness! You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure!
 Then in the name of democracy let us use that power - let us all unite!!! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie! They do not fulfil their promise, they never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for  world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
 
 Soldiers - in the  of democracy, let us all unite!!!
 
 [Speech by Charlie (Charles) Chaplin (1889-1977) from The Great  movie (1940)]
