It's a cruel world
admission of defeat
it's a cruel world
a saying so complete
such a fine place
where you never hear the sound
of an engine
is no place to be found
can't you shut off that machine?
it's a wonder
how you never get to see
such a fine place
with quiet industry
and if you find it
don't let anybody know
everyone else
has got to find it on their own
can't you shut off that machine?

you're a big grown man
don't you know somehow?
from a big generation
and a bad neighborhood
you're just a little bitty baby
in a big mans head
don't you know your little momma
wants you home in bed
But you're not 17 years old
same old line just gets a little bit old
so you got a new move now?
where did that come from?
did it come from your brother?
did it come from your son?
I bet you saw it on the TV
or in a B-movie
you think that's fun?
you think that's groovy
But you're not 17 years old
same old line just gets a little bit old
are you really scared
of what it's all about?
are you gonna run
when war breaks out?
This ain't no weekend
this ain't no high school
and all the people askin'
who the f*** are you?

WHAT? - the same air

God, you know I'm sick of this
my world is dying am I dying too?
You could help me out of this
because You should know what to do
Don't you know my children won't be breathing
if they might could breath at all
Have I taken their last breath?
Have I suffocated all?
We breath the same air
we say the same prayers
we gotta hold hands
we gotta be friends
God you know that I'm so scared
(I am Glory I am King)
I have taken and not shared
and there is no room to sing
I have over-run the land
I have conquered by my hand
Plundered all the spoils of men
leaving nothing for our children
but the same air....
Am I evil, am I kind?
Am I all of this combined?
Am I born without the sight
knowing no wrong or no right?
Am I blind or am I kind?
Am I all of this sublime?
Am I man or am I beast?
On tomorrow I will feast
on the same air...

Real Life
everywhere I go
everywhere I see
Let's get down, get out
sho gonna have a real good time
Let's get up together
I got a question right now that I'm gonna ask
you got to get it together or got off your ass
if you show me yours I'll show you mine
and if we get up together
then we had a good time
Let's get up together.
