Hey All!!
I just stumbled across this music video that's SO amazing!! This guy deserves a Grammy and a music video award at LEAST!! The lyrics follow the link, but don't try to read along with them while watching the video or you'll miss too much. Perhaps read along the second time you play it.

Didn't know I was unamerican
For choosing to give a damn
Or unpatriotic
For daring to take a stand
For what I believe in
Looks like Freedom to me -
Expressions of Liberty
Wanting our American to be
A responsible hegemony
Didn't know I was a communist
For wanting to share the wealth
It doesn't take an economist
To measure the cost of health
And what I believe in
Looks like heaven to me -
One Human Family
Where everybody's got enough to eat
And something warm to cover their feet
Didn't know I'd be labeled a terrorist
For daring to speak my mind
It's becoming more precarious
For failing to toe the line
And what I believe in
Sounds like Freedom to me -
Like the Sons of Liberty
In 1773
Dumping 45 tons of tea
Didn't know I was in the minority
Of people who love the Earth
I hope it becomes a priority
Before it gets any worse
And what I Believe In
Looks like heaven to me -
Where Angels take the shape of the trees
Giving us clean air to breathe
From the rivers to the mountains and streams...
Didn't know I hated my country
For acknowledging the Truth
This war is despicable profiteering
At the expense of our youth
And what I Believe In
Looks like heaven to me -s
All of humanity
Living as community
In relative harmony
I know it's just a song
But if the whole world sang along
How much longer would it be this way?
