We Can Run |
We dont own this place, though we act as if we did, |
Its a loan from the children of our childrens kids. |
The actual owners havent even been born yet. |
Bur we never tend the garden and rarely we pay the rent, |
Some of it is broken and the rest of it is bent |
Put it all on plastic and I wonder where well be when the bills hit. |
We can run, |
But we cant hide from it. |
Of all possible worlds, |
We only got one: |
We gotta ride on it. |
Whatever weve done, |
Well never get far from what we leave behind, |
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we cant hide. |
Oh no, we cant hide. |
Im dumpin my trash in your back yard |
Makin certain you dont notice really isnt so hard |
Youre so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them. |
Well, its oil for the rich and babies for the poor, |
We got everyone believin that more is more, |
If a reckoning comes, maybe we will know what to do then. |
All these complications seem to leave no choice, |
I heard the tongues of billion speak with just one voice, |
Saying, just leave all the rest to me, |
I need it worse than you, you see. |
And then I heard… |
The sound of one child crying. |
Today I went walking in the amber wind, |
Theres a hole in the sky where the light pours in I remembered the days when I wasnt afraid of the sunshine. |
But now it beats down on the asphalt land |
Like a hammering blow from gods left hand |
What little still grows cringes in the shade like a bad vine. |
