| I punched the clock in at 35, I thank the Lord that I’m still alive,
|
| sometimes I find it hard to believe that my hearts still beating that I’m
|
| still on my feet
|
| I’m gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement
|
| I’ve been in a downward spiral for a very long, long time, I’ve been stepping
|
| over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime
|
| The way I see it, it ain’t gonna work, I’m kissing the past goodbye
|
| I’m gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement
|
| I got no more patience, got no more time
|
| I’m tired of following orders, sticking to the company line
|
| I want to change the world and I’m starting with myself
|
| A private revalation concerning everybody else
|
| We’re all just lonely people we’re all looking for some help
|
| Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves
|
| All it takes is kindness and a little love and care
|
| And this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission
|
| statement
|
| The tears of hungry children are falling in the dust
|
| The scraps of a rich man’s table could fill their starving mouths
|
| While some they thirst for water others get drunk on wine
|
| To some their lives a prison and they’re out there doing time
|
| I’m gonna give you, give you a mission statement
|
| I got no more patience, I got no more time
|
| I’m tired of following orders, sticking to the company line
|
| I want to change the world and I’m starting with myself
|
| A private revalation concerning everybody else
|
| We’re all just lonely people we’re all looking for some help
|
| Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves
|
| All it takes is kindness and a little love and care
|
| And this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission
