* At some point the levy brakes. Too much has become Too much. The hero is the one of becomming, being born, creating, Rebeling against the status quo, making a better world. nspired by activist changes we were making at the time. This is the hero finding his tribe. A warrior call. We are Co-Creators of Culture: As Obama and Putin were having a pissing contest, I was recording this song with Brain_Cancer from Russia.
Lyrics
Now Let Me Tell You Something!
If you are tired of looking for that job that isn't there
I'm talking to you
and if your job
doesn't treat you fair
I'm talking to you
if you don't love yourself
and what you do
I'm talking to you
life is short
how ya wanna live it
I'm talking to you
now come and witness
a bigger picture I'm talking to you
the rich are getting richer, the poor getting poorer,
i'm talking to you
as our tax dollars buy weapons of war,
I'm talking to you
as mother nature is getting abused
I'm talking to you
not trying to kill you buzz
but that's whats up,
I'm talking to you
marketing schemes, written into our minds
commodified lifestyles, consuming our primes
our love sold back to us, our meaning broadcast to us
our bodies react to us, our world, disastrous
So what you wanna do,
how far will you go
I'm talking to you
because if you care
about the world that we share
I'm talking to you
If dare to change,
make this world a better place
I'm talking to you
and me he and she,
we are the ones we've been waiting for
who will revolutionize the way we relate to
businesses, governments, each other, ourselves
the era of passive consumers is over
we are co-creators of culture
And now we inherent, half a race legacy
the systems merit, so now we are
militant lovers, guerilla peace makers
raising givers not takers
we are learning, we are learning
we are learning,
to rise up together
we go to class, study science and math
we will rise up together
we make arts and crafts, out of recycled trash
we will rise up together
we turn suburban lawns into permaculture gardens
we will rise up together
we form businesses, keep each other healthy
we will rise up together
we don't need to be rich, we can redefine wealthy
we will rise up together
and where their where walls we will build ladders,
we will rise up together
we are co-creators of culture
Now if i'm talking, and your talking
and we're listening and having conversations
we can change the world
global tribe, my people, it's time to rise up!
