Blind World |
What is the world coming to? |
The way I feel about my life right now is as if I don’t |
Do something quick that I might end up sick or homicidal |
Appreciate the blessings lingering in my vibrato |
Administrate the lessons I’m singing in my recital |
Give it another title, call it the daily bread |
A special formula you fix to get the baby fed |
It’s brain food, that kind they ooze into a baby’s head |
So he won’t be misled and when the baby’s dead |
Bury him where they buried Terry just to grow a tree up |
They cutting down the rainforest looking for space to free up |
And paving paradise with parking lots where buildings be up |
What is the world coming to? |
It’s really messing me up |
I got a brand new nephew in about a year |
His lungs will be older than he is from the cloudy air |
Not saying cloudy like the molecules of H20 |
I’m talking about the factories and fumes, whatever you know |
And every time I’m driving, I’m thinking «I'm such a culo!» |
My contribution of pollution isn’t very cool though |
But what am I to do though? |
I got to work to live |
And if I happen to be living where my working is |
Then will I ever learn to celebrate it through my kids |
One day I’ll have 'em maybe but first I need a lady |
And will I give her all my time and will she really love me |
And will she give me shelter when the storms are up above me |
I know sometimes it be my personality is ugly |
And no amount of make up can make up for that |
But know I recognize a game and when I’m up to bat |
I’m gonna put a little change into the thinking cap |
Because to change the world you gotta change your mind |
We can’t go on living wrong inside of the same design |
It gotta be that you and me agree to make a difference |
Put up a canvas and manipulate the color pigments |
To paint a portrait of tomorrow full of broader figments |
In your imagination could you imagine nations? |
At peace and harmony instead of genocidal warring |
Where borders don’t exist and nobody’s considered foreign |
Mother Earth is respected, animals are protected |
Society perfected, Capitalism’s rejected |
What is the world coming to? |
Almost the end of us |
And it’s the evils in the world today we tend to trust |
How could we let the ashes crumble till they come to dust |
I guess that’s what is meant to happen if you blind enough |
If you ready for what is coming, then come on with me |
Follow my voice, if you can hear it let the song lift me |
Into the graces of Heaven’s hugs, to learn love’s embrace |
And share with every beautiful face |
I place my right hand on my heart |
And say, let me be the start |
I pound my fist on my chest and request |
Allow me to be the test, and when I’m at my best |
I can make a Catholic priest confess |
Cause guilt is worse than the parasite in his flesh |
And the flesh is weak but the pride is strong |
And it can make a little lie last a little bit longer |
Than it was ever intended by whom ever intended to send it |
Watch the evil manifest that it rendered |
And I hope you remembered your place in this |
Look up at a shooting star, go 'head and make a wish |
Hopefully it will be granted by the gods |
Against all odds you’ll be wise enough to see through the facades |
What is the world coming to? |
I wish I had a answer |
Better than seeing human beings as a living cancer |
Better than being what I’m seeing hope I have a chance to |
Raise the consciousness |
Peace ya’ll and god bless |
Blind World |
