ORIGINAL:
VERSE - A F#m D E (spoken)
We could be living in paradise
Without war, hate, or money
Instead we made a prison
Outta materialism
But the way to freedom is simple
It's selfless service to others
Serve everyone you meet
In every way you can think of
But without love - service is work
So love everyone you meet
And live with joy in your heart
And climb out of the pit of ignorance
BRIDGE
F#m
Act now to build a new world
A
By putting love in action
D E
Go on your way and joy in your heart SERVE

With every muscle and sinew SERVE
Let the Kundalini rise within you
VERSE (spoken)
No more monasteries
No meditating in the wilderness
No retreats into serenity
Wake up to your destiny
And in a world of suffering
Even idleness is criminal
Entertainment must be minimal
Time is of the essence

Cos we have been ordered
To turn from our own feelings
And search no more, simply SERVE
