| I know a carpenter
|
| I know a laborer
|
| He is my teacher
|
| He is my brother
|
| I have a neighbor
|
| He is my savior
|
| He doesn’t waver
|
| He’s a strong believer
|
| I know a business man
|
| He scrapped his business plan
|
| While screaming, «Fuck the man!»
|
| He gave into the land
|
| You’re all archetypes
|
| People that I might like to be just like
|
| In a completely different way
|
| And we all
|
| We’re coming out of our caves
|
| Coming out of our caves
|
| Yes we all
|
| We’re coming out of our caves
|
| Coming out of our caves
|
| I know a farmer
|
| I know his vision
|
| I know his struggle
|
| I know his hope
|
| I know a futurist
|
| He is an optimist
|
| And he knows a young waitress
|
| And he’s trying to coax her
|
| Out of her cave
|
| By smiling, by winking
|
| By saying you know it’s good
|
| For us to talk
|
| Ya know, it’s good to talk!
|
| I know a father
|
| I loved his daughter
|
| I told him never would
|
| I forsake her
|
| But, I got home too late
|
| From one of my escapades
|
| No woman to face, just a note
|
| That said, «Baby, I’ve sailed away
|
| Right out of my cave
|
| Caught a swell
|
| Caught a wave
|
| To another inspiring place.»
|
| And we all
|
| We’re coming out of our caves
|
| Coming out of our caves
|
| Yes we all
|
| We’re coming out of our caves
|
| Coming out of our caves
|
| My friend the bureaucrat
|
| He just accepts all that
|
| Which I cannot accept
|
| Such frustration that I wept
|
| For my friend the taxman
|
| He is my father and
|
| He tallies numbers all day
|
| Yes, he knows his numbers you could say
|
| He taxes income, I asked him
|
| How come?
|
| You know I work hard for every penny…
|
| Don’t you think I deserve it all?
|
| Oh the law, the law, the law son…
|
| There are flaws in the law
|
| But, in the end I just answer to God
|
| Boy, I’m just doing my job!
|
| My friend the astronomer
|
| She is a stargazer
|
| I swear they talk to her
|
| Boy, I wish I knew
|
| What they were saying
|
| While I was layin' in her bed
|
| With her chest to my head…
|
| Were our intentions misread?
|
| So I just said it
|
| I said, Baby, I’m a nobody
|
| I ain’t got no money!
|
| Just this ambition to tell the people
|
| We are equal, so c’mon, baby
|
| Come out of your cave!
|
| Catch a swell
|
| Catch a wave
|
| To another inspiring place
|
| And we all
|
| We’re coming out of our caves
|
| Coming out of our caves
|
| Yes we all
|
| We’re coming out of our caves
|
| Coming out of our caves |
