[Verse 1]
We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barrier, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerilla
Chanting the mantra, "peace on Earth"
We all playing those mind games forever
Some kind of Druid dude, lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail

[Chorus 1]
Love is the answer
And you know that, for sure
Love is the flower
You gotta let it, gotta let it grow

[Verse 2]
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerillas
Absolute elsewhere, in the stones of your mind

[Bridge]
Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time

[Chorus 2]
Yes is the answer
And you know that for sure
Yes is surrender
You gotta let it, you gotta let it go

[Verse 3]
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual, dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel

[Bridge]
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love

[Outro]
I want you to make love, not war
I know you heard it, you heard it before
I want you to make love, not war
I know you heard it all, you heard it before

An indie-rock band based primarily Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Arcade Fire are fronted by husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, as well as Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury, Will Butler (brother of Win), and Jeremy Gara. They usually tour with a large entourage of musicians, who occasionally outnumber “the band”. Their sound reflects that – tracks regularly feature all sections of the orchestra.

Arcade Fire was formed in 2001 in Montreal, Canada, by Win butler and Josh Deu, who were attending universities there. They were joined by Régine Chassagne and a rotating group of other musicians who helped round out the first incarnation of the band. Tensions rose in the band when they recorded their self-titled EP, Arcade Fire. Deu exited the band, and Perry, Kingsbury, Gara, and Will Butler joined the band, this being the final lineup.

Arcade Fire released their critically-acclaimed debut album Funeral in the fall of 2004. The album skyrocketed Arcade Fire into the mainstream, and Funeral was named one of the best albums of the year by many news sources.
