The Human Race

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.

Inside the place where we hide our face

And try to fake out fate with the faith we place

Inside a world wide race where the humans chase

For more than what we're given

Nowadays people don't talk freely

We walk these streets, go home

And not be seen, we watch TV alone

Then phone in our orders for Chinese delivery

Closed in our quarters, so high we forget

That we ever knew any better than this

And now we swim in the sewage

Together in bliss and it's a sad state of affairs

They're making us scared to even set foot outside our own houses

And now it's like every place I look I see

Propaganda from the papers, to the books I read

And they're preparing us for a staged terrorist war

So they can centralize the power and have us scared to the core

My parents ignored, I guess it's just too deeply imbedded in their heads

That the truth is on TV, So breathe deep and be free of all this

Civilized society or whatever you call it

Sometimes I get lost in my trips through escapism

Vision of a world free from greed, war, racism

And isn't it a gift how I'm free inside

They can steal a child's mind but never rob him of his light

And some nights we all fall asleep feeling like hypocrites

Say you changed the world but only talked a bit of shit

We all quit on ourselves from one point or another

Suffer bouts with self doubt as we try to recover

But it all starts from thought and talk which leads to action

How far can we be pushed, till we respond with reaction?

For now I turn my back and all I wanna leave behind

This peace of mind is an illusion of the freedom I can't find

The freedom, the freedom, the freedom I can't find

The freedom, the freedom, the freedom I can't find

The freedom, the freedom, the freedom I can't find

The freedom I can't find, the freedom I can't find

Inside the place where we hide our face

And try to fake out fate with the faith we place

Inside a world wide race where the humans chase

For more than what we're given

Inside the place where we hide our face

And try to fake out fate with the faith we place

In a world wide race where the humans chase

And try to take things from the living

Why yes, Just watch who you playing

It ain't me in a way, where the odds are on my side

*Count em up* one three five

It ain't beyond a day

I can't even find my mind, *help me out*

Be my guide

It ain't beyond a day

I got no one to blame, I got nothing but shame

And it's a rainy day, I need sunshine

But I'm just one blind man

Nothing left to see and nothing left to say

But nothing left to hear and nothing left to jade

And nothing left me yesterday because I had nothing left to say

Nothing, done up and went away

When the same pain became insane

Picture in the picture frame

You big bitch to plain

Kiss your brain, this love game

Your history maintains loves smile remains

I'll take a leave of absence

With a sleeve of Abstinthe

5 grams of magic mushrooms

And I'll see what happens

And if you need me

I won't be reached

I'll be relaxing

With my feet up

Send a postcard

I'll read the caption

I don't need distractions

Coffee, weed or aspirin

Just open minds and open hearts

So come see us rapping

And when I'm done doing my thing

I won't be a has been

I'll just be done doing my thing

With my seat relaxing

And on the day I die

I can say I tried to save my tribe

Please don't cry

Away I fly where I can play by my rules

And take my time, reach those skies

And on the day I die

I can say I tried to save my tribe

Please don't cry

Away I fly where I can play by my rules

And take my time, reach those skies

Inside the place where we hide our face

And try to fake out fate with the faith we place

Inside a world wide race where the humans chase

For more than what we're given

Inside the place where we hide our face

And try to fake out fate with the faith we place

In a world wide race where the humans chase

And try to take things from the living
