"Ya know one day the indigenous people of the Earth are gonna reclaim what's righfully There's." "Really? Uh oh!" Lose your mind misplace your mind Forgot you even had a mind 'Cause someone told you it's impossible To change your mind A friend of mine made it to twenty-five We had a celebration "man I'm glad that you're alive" I'm happy to see my man you're beatin' the odds And for this on this day we give thanks to the gods 'Cause everyone deserves a shot except you only get one I hope it's not through the head my son. 'Cause life is short when you're afraid to die. Life is hard when you're afraid to cry. But when I feel alone I sing myself a song Because wherever I lay a groove is my home. [Chorus] But can you see me in the desert? Of course you can! Can you see me on the mountain? Of course you can! Can you see me in the ocean? Of course you can! I'm just splishin' and splashin' And jumpin' in the sand! And jumpin' in the sand! But he remembered memories of walkin' Through the puddles Sayin' "Gee dad, am I the one who's wanted by The federal Government doesn't want me To go to school I ask too many questions And I don't play by their rules. In school they tried to tall me That a rock is not alive But I have seen a volcano growin' up and die In school they tried to tell me That a tree it couldn't feel But I have felt a tree and it was bleeding for real In school they tried to tell Me animals couldn't talk But they can understand it when a dog starts to bark In school they tried to tell me Man doesn't have a soul "whet happened to his" I say "cause mine is Still whole!" [Chorus] "Can you see me?" "Can you see me?" The reoccuring dream of life's imprisonment The reoccuring scream of a world and it's residents The reoccuring theme of a mind full of finger prints The reoccuring dream of a knife and a president Well would you like to look at Madonna's book on sex? Or would you rather Alex Haley's book on Malcolm X? Their fuckin' with Ice T but they don't even care if Eric Clapton's singin' I Shot the Sherriff! But how many more books on this subject can I read And how many more frustrations must I try to ease End how many more days of this bad air can I breathe And how many more of my friends must just die and leave But you can't diffuse the ticking time bomb You can't refuse the time it has come You can't erase our people from the nation I'll take a life before they call us "the lost generation" [Chorus] Can you see me in Africa? Of course you can! Can you see me in Asia? Of course you can! Can you see me in Australia? Of course you can! Aotearoa? Western Samoa? Eskimoa? Can you see me in the White House? No you can't! Can you see me on the radio? Hell No! Can you see me with the police? In handcuffs? Splishin',splashin',jumpin' in the sand.
