Mechanical Minds

From the Speech from The Great Dictator
«I'm sorry, but I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone if possible-
We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that.
We want to live by each others' happiness,
not by each other’s misery.
We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone.
And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful,
but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls.
"
(Instrumental)
«We have developed speed,
but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical;
our cleverness,
hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More than cleverness,
we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities,
life will be violent and all will be lost.»
(Instrumental)
«The hate of men will pass, and dictators die,
and the power they took from the people will return to the people.»
(Instrumental)
«You, the people, have the power,
the power to create machines,
the power to create happiness!
You, the people,
have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
Let us all unite.
Let us all unite.
Use that power.
Let us all unite.
Let us all unite.
Use that power.
Let us all unite."
