Lotus

Woke before the morning sun I found it tucked beneath the hills I sat and watched it rise It hit the sky and burst to flames The lotus flower's Got me thinking bout the way we live I've got this feeling It's gonna stop Driven by religion Running backwards down a one way road A course collision, split decision Tryin' to save your soul Manifest Destiny Is just a fancy word for murder I've got this feeling It's gonna stop [Chorus] A billion faces running round my head All got opinions but the don't mean shit Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead They said it's all been done and it's all been said They'll turn this message into a pop movement A fascist statement, call it politics You can't mark my words they'll put a spin on it They say it's all been done Look outside the box my friend You heart's been dead since who knows when It seems we've missed the mark Lost all hope and given in Pack up the suitcase Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin The fear that drives you Needs to be stopped [Chorus] Fell into a daze And found my mind was gone and laid to waste A battle ground indeed Where holy wars have taken place I saw the sun set watched it travel down And tear you through the ground The hate the drives us Needs to be stopped
