The Thing About It

This is a time of growth for those that know

And it's a time of hope for those that don't

But if your mind is open you'll get shown

We've had our sights blinded, all of my like-minded

People need to get up and discover the right time is

Now, so start opposing the powers that arose

In ancient days and paved the way to this load

It's so controlled, it's sitting in most, just sit and stare

At a television with a distant glare

And I'm ashamed to admit it, I'm a slave to this shit

As much as anybody but I'm not afraid of it

This is where the change comes, and this is where we make some difference

Embrace what's within us and escape from this prison

All it takes is a little bit of faith

And a little bit of love, to get rid of all the hate

But the thing about it is we can't just sing about it

We can't just sit around and wait until they thin us out

We figure out where we're going while we live in doubt

If you want my truth, listen now and just think about it

The thing about it is we can't even think about it

Can't afford a minutes time to figure how to bring about a change

So, take a second, and shake your head

And take a step ahead and think about it

Now the ball is in our court, while we sit and watch passively

The face of the earth changes drastically, after we

Clear space at this rate for strip malls and factories

We risk take a crew fate at a pace beyond gradually

No more crops for us to harvest and feed

Self-sufficiency replaced by clone-copy written seeds

Now ask yourself, how can we be free

When the water that we drink is owned by some company

I hear the weep up the streets, and cries up in the skies

The weakness is disguised with deceitful lies

Well we all eat to survive, and sleep through our lives

Repeat in for high, all shit and no pride

Never speak of our lie, let the fear fortify

My insides are dying, trying to fit in the design

I'm reminded daily, of a world gone crazy

Guns mean safety for orphan babies

Ignore the distortion you're forced to perceive and believe

What supercedes is love, but who agrees?

But the thing about it is we can't just sing about it

We can't just sit around and wait until they thin us out

We figure out where we're going while we live in doubt

If you want my truth, listen now and just think about it

The thing about it is we can't even think about it

Can't afford a minutes time to figure how to bring about a change

So, take a second, and shake your head

And take a step ahead and think about it

Could you survive in the wild, with a wife and a child

A whole human history, a line a type and a file

So live your life in denial, or try to live on your own

Without your colour TV, heat, fridge or the phone

Well the average guy lives an elaborate lie

Waste days on slave wage beneath the passionate eye

Now we ovulate, copulate and over-populate

Never stop to think about the things that we were taught to hate

Now the stage is set, watch the players place their bets

Take a sec, shake your head, feel alive, make you sweat

Realize that the system can't exist without belief

Appreciate your true potential, untwist your mouth and speak

We're working on building a world our children can live in

Understand, I can't be free, while you're still in this prison

And I could spend my days preaching, so on and so forth

But it won't change, until we don't want to go on, no more

But the thing about it is we can't just sing about it

We can't just sit around and wait until they thin us out

We figure out where we're going while we live in doubt

If you want my truth, listen now and just think about it

The thing about it is we can't even think about it

Can't afford a minutes time to figure how to bring about a change

So, take a second, and shake your head

And take a step ahead and think about it

But the thing about it is we can't just sing about it

We can't just sit around and wait until they thin us out

We figure out where we're going while we live in doubt

If you want my truth, listen now and just think about it

The thing about it is we can't even think about it

Can't afford a minutes time to figure how to bring about a change

So, take a second, and shake your head

And take a step ahead and think about it

This is a time of growth for those that know

And it's a time of hope for those that don't
