| It’s the American dream | 
| But if you pull on the thread, it’s gonna tear at the seam | 
| See what I mean? | 
| We don’t tend to scream | 
| Baby, we just stare at the screen | 
| Like it’s a preacherman up at the pulpit | 
| Some with the scars end up holding the bullwhip | 
| Another angry kid unloading a full clip | 
| And I could tie a pretty bow on this bullshit | 
| But let’s not lie for another second | 
| We see the trouble, we’re rubberneckin | 
| No doublecheckin, if it’s an issue we have to grapple | 
| The words are caught in my Adam’s apple | 
| I make my body a happy chapel | 
| Cause every person’s a tabernacle | 
| But there’s no feeling you gotta hide | 
| So let’s all pray to the God inside, say it now | 
| Never needed a hand til you needed a hand | 
| You never know how to walk until you understand | 
| Coulda been anything that you needed to be | 
| How many more do you want? | 
| How many more do you need? | 
| Still I wish I could break free | 
| It’s that same old simple song I still believe | 
| How many more do we need? | 
| Before it’s hand over hand | 
| Love over everything | 
| That’s me with the long arm | 
| Screaming at the top dog, spilling my blood on the cement | 
| We willing to roll now, sick of getting mowed down | 
| Fuck if I dope now, it’d kill me | 
| Cause I’d rather be known for the dealing | 
| Than known to be hooked on the feeling | 
| How many more gotta go now? | 
| How many more gotta go down? | 
| I’ll stand in the rain witcha, just to get a little bit of glimpse of the plain | 
| picture | 
| People need a pinch just to get em to wake up | 
| You’ll be in a ditch before I get you to wake up, say it bruh | 
| Whoever said it wasn’t fair, they was telling the truth | 
| I’d be a liar if I said there was nothing to prove | 
| Never needed a hand til you needed a hand | 
| You never know how to walk until you understand | 
| Coulda been anything that you needed to be | 
| How many more do you want? | 
| How many more do you need? | 
| Still I wish I could break free | 
| It’s that same old simple song I still believe | 
| How many more do we need? | 
| Before it’s hand over hand | 
| Love over everything | 
| They say we gotta know our role | 
| Kiss the bottom of the totem pole | 
| Set goals, and then go for gold | 
| But we hibernate and hide inside our gopher holes | 
| I wanna smoke a bowl, a hand on my dick | 
| While the other one is busy clicking the remote control | 
| I’m no Dalai Lama of the sofa but I hear I gotta go to | 
| Where the sinners face the roasting coals | 
| You say that your heart ain’t got no holes, well bitch please | 
| Let’s all admit that we got souls like Swiss cheese | 
| But wishing isn’t gonna fill this abyss | 
| And no hand over hand over fisted riches is fixin what’s missin | 
| If I wanna kill this monotony | 
| I know the answer is a light that I got in me | 
| I got no university degree in philosophy | 
| But I know that every baby’s born with the lock and key | 
| Never needed a hand til you needed a hand | 
| You never know how to walk until you understand | 
| Coulda been anything that you needed to be | 
| How many more do you want? | 
| How many more do you need? | 
| Still I wish I could break free | 
| It’s that same old simple song I still believe | 
| How many more do we need? | 
| Before it’s hand over hand | 
| Love over everything |
