I wanna be as pure as my love’s diamond ring

I wanna be as brilliant as the sun

It's only getting harder to keep my soft hands clean

From the muddy waters and the smoking guns

The biggest engines of the industries

The biggest tools and dictators-to-be

Even the foulest players hoped for tenderness at some point

Before they fell hostage to revenge fantasies

Each night my lover asks me what I'm thinking of

I wonder what the lunatics would give to feel

Life-changing love

The threat of violence permeates the air

But I just heard the first new birds of spring

If God is in the details, I overlooked the fine print

Now the devil has a stake in everything

Each night my lover asks me what I'm thinking of

I wonder what the devil would have offered for

Life-changing love

Life-changing love

Life-changing love

May we all know life-changing love

Man made machine guns for efficiency and democracy

And then invented the rules of war

Money for the drones, spare a dollar for the aid

Different ways of spending, different ways of getting paid

We roll our eyes, united in selective disgust

And dance around the elephant in every room

Memorials of mayhem and fresh ruins of blood and dust

Every coordinate a new colonial tomb

Each night my lover asks me what I'm thinking of

I wonder if the warmongers are burdened by

Life-changing love

Life-changing love

Life-changing love

Who would destroy life-changing love?

There's no privilege like the past

But your privilege won't outlast

Your life-changing love
