Shrink The Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If we're gonna say O.K.
To submission at the border
Who if anyone will say
"I don't believe in law & order"?
All the thoughts of alienation
Feeling guilt through association
Appearance altered fit the plan
Making it as easy as we can
All you got is regulation
All I got is inspiration
All I get is your resistance
I just wanna shrink the distance
Welcome? Hardly -- Face the flag
Total strangers rape my bag
I had no room to pack the bomb
Where do you think I'm coming from?
Oh! Travel broadens the mind
And here's the threat to human kind
If you go so far you leave behind
All the notions in your mind
All you got is regulation
All I got is inspiration
All I get is your resistance
I just wanna shrink the distance
Freedom comes in losing stability
So-called 'forced' to use your ability
To cope with unknown situations
Soon destroys the notion of nations
But I just want to see the planet before I die
How can it be so hard to cross this borderline
Between what's yours -- between what's yours -- and what is mine?
I just want to see the planet
Before I die
Separate lands it's all possession
Guarded with some warped obsession
Of control -- You wanna come in?
It all depends on where you've been
I'm sick of doing what I'm told
Stay at home, grow up, feel old
Feeling young is not quite knowing
- Until you've gone -- Just where you're going
All you got is regulation
All I got is inspiration
All I get is your resistance
I just wanna shrink the distance
