Ask Yourself
Money isn't what you want, and I'll prove it too.
You only want the things that money do for you.
You can't eat it, drink it, it can't keep you warm,
you can't stack it around you and build a decent home.
We don't need reform from any politicians,
who make plants illegal so we can rot in prison.
The thing about the system that you have to see,
is that it's no longer relevant, it's obsolete.
We need a brand new vision for the way that we live.
We have to change the world before our babies get big,
so that they don't feel 120 degrees in the summer.
We can put the guns down and shout "Peace" if we want to.
I'm tired of living from paycheck to paycheck.
This madhouse I've tried but I can't escape it.
I don't blame anybody, it's the same disease.
We're all plagued by money, and insane with greed,
at least we are trained to be, it's indoctrination,
the elite bent on worldwide domination.
We shouldn't have to go to war and die for our nation,
when the only benefits go to corporations.
We can do much better, you can read about it.

Perpetual debt? Where's the bleeping logic?
I dream about shouting out, "Peace! I'm out of this!"
I'm going to bring you all with me if we ever get there.
We can have abundance and access to healthcare.
No more slave wages, it's got to go.
Trying to feed our kids is almost impossible.
We all want the same things, we're just trying to live.
We don't want the whole pie, just a slice of it,
so I'm going to strike a match and get right, ya dig,
and I hope that you all can feel as nice as this.

a bright new future, no borders, come in dude.
I'm not your enemy, just hear me out,
and let's have conversations, no screams or shouts.
I don't want to tell you how to live, make up your own damned mind.
If you don't like how I feel, cool homie, that's fine.
We don't have to kill each other over it though.
You do you and I'll do me, we move foward and roll.
That's what grown folks do, there is no utopia,
If we stop improving, the show is over,
so if you have an idea, hey man I'm glad to listen.
A whole lot more unity, that's what's missing.
