Don't say that it's okay
That our wake of destruction is growing
We keep going, full knowing
That we're pulling on the lip of the bull's ring
Walls closing
And I don't think
That we wanna keep fucking with the old ways
Cause there's no way
That we're gonna make it out
If we wanna keep talking with a muzzle on our mouth
If you wanna keep running with the energetic crowd
We're gonna end up in the motherfucking ground
If you wanna write songs with the same damn sounds
Then we better hold our nose cause we're gonna fucking drown 

Tell me where we'll run to now
Our feet can't reach the starving ground
If each must eat her fill somehow
Then she must beat her hunger down
Teach her daughters they can scrounge
For hopeless meaning in the towns
As waters rise and fire surrounds
Or they can seek where life is found

We walk on the road to Damascus
But the Light ain't seen by the masses
Refracted by gold colored glasses
We're kept in the shade by our masters
While they laugh as the world burns faster
Slipping their tricks right past us 
And as long as we're fractured in classes
Ain't nothing we can do to their asses
And we're dying as the time keeps passing
No one answers the questions we're asking 
We line up and buy with a passion
So the rich man can buy another mansion
And our hand still stayed by inaction
While the land gets stretched like elastic
Til the day that it snaps and it smacks us
And our life done fallen out of fashion

This the best damn life that we'll ever have
We'll never come up with a better plan
Ain't no man that can paint with the hand of God
And break the bond, forsake the pond and move on
Our next best shot is a different course
Start placing more bets on the slower horse
Get in touch with a different kind of life force
And realize that doing less is doing more
Ya gotta think about who you do it for
It ain't just yourself, it's someone else
It's your son, your daughter, your niece and nephew
And anybody else who needs some refuge
Anything you do can leave a huge
Mark on the doom that's coming true
You gotta fit in the future too
No matter how you do it it's up to you
