Take What You Need

Any place you might be
If you look up you'll see
The same sun as me
And the air in LA
Makes its way through the planes
And freezes some Midwestern lake

Everyone's an other
Every child, every mother
Every enemy and every lover
Most of us want peace
But half of us are thieves
Why can't we all just take what we need?
Take what we need

Every heart has a beat
It's a language we all speak
Like distant family
Every star in the sky
Might be gone by the time
Its light reaches your eye

Everyone's an other
Every child, every mother
Every enemy and every lover
Most of us want peace
But half of us are thieves
Why can't we all just take what we need?
Take what we need
Take what we need

Take what you need and nothing more
You can't buried with it
Take what you need and nothing more
You can't buried with it

Everyone's an other
Every child, every mother
Every enemy and every lover
Most of us want peace
But half of us are thieves
Why can't we all just take what we need?
Take what we need

If all you want is wealth
You should look inside yourself
And see we're all just little cells
Swimming round in broken shells
Within a body we can make
Heaven or hell
