Lyrics

Mediate

Hallucinate, desegregate Mediate, alleviate Try not to hate, love your mate Don't suffocate on your own hate Designate your love as fate A one-world state as human freight The number eight, a white black state A gentle trait, the broken crate A heavy weight or just too late Like pretty Kate has sex ornate Now devastate, appreciate Depreciate, fabricate Emulate, the truth dilate Special date, the animal we ate Guilt debate, the edge serrate A better rate, the youth irate Deliberate, fascinate Deviate, reinstate Liberate to moderate Recreate or detonate Annihilate, atomic fate Mediate, clear the state Activate, now radiate A perfect state, food on plate Gravitate, the Earth's own weight Designate your love as fate At ninety-eight we all rotate Hallucinate, desegregate Mediate, alleviate Try not to hate, love your mate Don't suffocate on your own hate Designate your love as fate A one-world state as human freight The number eight, a white black state A gentle trait, the broken crate A heavy weight or just too late Like pretty Kate has sex ornate Now devastate, appreciate Depreciate, fabricate Emulate, the truth dilate Special date, the animals we ate Guilt debate, the edge serrate A better rate, the youth irate Deliberate, fascinate Deviate and reinstate Liberate, to liberate, liberate...
