Sowing the Seeds of Love Lyrics

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast D.J.'s the man we love the most Could you be, could you be squeaky clean And smash any hope of democracy? As the headline says you're free to choose There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes One of these days they're gonna call it the blues Sowing the seeds of love The seeds of love Sowing the seeds I spy tears in their eyes They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention Food goes to waste! So nice to eat, so nice to taste Politician Grannie with your high ideals Have you no idea how the Majority feels? So without love and a promised land We're fools to the rules of a Government plan Kick out the Style! Bring back the Jam! Sowing the seeds of love The seeds of love Sowing the seeds... Sowing the seeds The Birds and the Bees My Girlfriend and Me in Love Feel the Pain Talk about it If you're a worried man - then shout about it Open hearts - feel about it Open minds - think about it Everyone - read about it Everyone - scream about it Everyone Everyone - read about it, read about it Read it in the books in the crannies and the nooks there books to read (Mr England Sowing the Seeds of Love) Time to eat all your words Swallow your pride Open your eyes High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast Every minute of every hour - ?I Love a Sunflower? And I believe in loverpower, LovePower, LovePower!!! Sowing the Seeds An end to need And the Politics of Greed With Love

Meaning of Sowing the Seeds of Love

“Sowing the Seeds of Love” is a chaotic and urgent plea for change fueled by frustration with political apathy and societal waste. Tears for Fears captures a sense of desperate yearning, urging listeners to actively resist manipulation and reclaim agency through “loverpower.” The song’s frantic energy—represented by the repeated refrain of “sowing the seeds of love”—highlights the absurdity of a system prioritizing superficial desires (“squeaky clean”) over genuine human connection and basic needs like food security. It’s a scathing critique of politicians, symbolized by "Politician Grannie," who are disconnected from the realities faced by ordinary people. The song’s call to action—to “read about it,” “shout about it,” and “open your minds”—suggests a need for collective awareness and passionate resistance against a controlling narrative, ultimately advocating for a return to simpler values and heartfelt emotion.
