I've heard its not where you're from but who you're with and what you've done and I know its true I'll never do enough no matter what may come I'm not giving up. Theres nothing for me here nothing but you and I fear that you may stay what can we do Lets pull up our roots plant them someplace else where we can be ourselves where we can be ourselves where can we be? I've heard its not where you're from but who you're with and what you've done. Theres nothing for me here Theres nothing here for me. What we need is someplace we can be ourselves.

when you've got your head (in the ground) it takes something (so simple) as a shovel (to unearth) an initial (thought for change) pickpocket the senses (gather up) we need pieces to fit (draw it out) the mold that you wanted (to create) the shape and the size (accomodate) still a dime a dozen (under your thumb) gather what you can (pickpocke)t draw the diagram (pieces fit) we can we can we can create a perfect plan to escape the bullshit you've left us in to sink like quicksand filling our lungs makes it hard to say what I don't know its truly the hardest game I've had the displeasure to play but when you play by your own rules you'll find it was created for you Oh to know the difference between being helpless and overly selfish but you don't

Its just a shame we've all been taught to worship greed. I'm certain that we've always had more than we need. Its just a shame we've all been taught to worship greed. The industry found its gold mine so they regurgitate and all the songs suffer they start to sound the same in hopes they'd make that dollar they'd like the taste of fame I'd say I couldn't blame them But I could never be that way don't care if I die dirt poor I still have my fuckin name my name say I had 100 lines words that you might need to hear I could keep them to myself knowing that you have deaf ears.

You're broke heres a dime to pay attention it won't be said twice so you should listen kiss all the ass you can thats how you get ahead kiss all kiss all kiss all the ass you can thats how you get ahead and lie to your kids say you had it harder than you did my mind it races the smoke it slows it down and for that I'm thankful don't wanna put it out. just drop out drop off get high die out.
