Name: Different Parts
Duration: P00H03M32S
Description: Written to encourage a more pluralistic approach within the burgeoning radical ecological movement of the early nineties.

lyrics

Look at you
You think you've got the answer
That you know the truth
Well who's to say
And what's reality anyway
It's its my opinion that you'll find
There really is no axe to grind
Our destinations just the same
But we're getting there by walking different lanes

O revolution!
Well good luck to you but I think I'll find
My own solution
I don't think we'll lose if we all go the way we choose
I hope that you'd agree with me
That we should love in harmony
That one for all and all for one
Is surely the way for victory to be won

You're your mother's child if you're living in the wild
Or if you stand up to what is wrong
We may be singing different parts
But we're singing the same song

Now's the time
To pull together on our own little section
Of the same old line
Work with me but let me live my own reality
If you're playing music on the streets
Or talking to the folk you meet
If you're standing there obstructing the machines
Or just making sure the countryside stays clean

You're your mother's child....etc

The only way is a lonely way
if that's the way you go
For you see your war is like a big jigsaw
Yours is just one part of the whole

You're your mother's child....etc
