Smoke in the air
While the incense burns
And the worms turn
Out here
Trying to earn
Elders say
We never learn
But knowledge is a mystery
Never seen
The sandy shores
Disconnect from history
Oligarchs and archetypes
Shadows in the dead of night
Ankle shackles on my ancestors
Reparations never came
The resentment festers
Look at how they left us
Look at what they left us
Down for the cause
No applause
Busy putting work in
Behind closed doors
Mad composers
Stuck in concrete towers
Get the coffee pot boiling
Make the most of hours
The artist
And the business man
Lost souls play their roles
P.R. plans
The puppets
And the puppeteers
These muppets
Should have known the real score here
Look at how they left us
Look at what they left us
Easy on the soy boy
Not the type to toy boy
Never been the hoi polloi
Forget the processing
And packaging
We need the food
Without the poisons in
The definition of real wealth
Should be the definition
Of happy
Of good health
Should be the recognition
Of virtue
Here to help
Appreciation of mother nature
Knowledge of self
Look at how they left us
Look at what they left us
Living in the upside down
Good is bad
Bad is good
Goodness knows
We've been around
Listen close and hear the sound
Gracious are the ones
Who value life
Over the golden pound
Tell my people let's get educated
When's the last time
You actually meditated
When's the last time
You took time and contemplated
Ever wonder why you're wide awake
But feeling jaded
Look at how they left us
Look at what they left us
PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
