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
