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
