Petroleum Distillation

Lyrics

Been having a hard time trying to justify The clouds arising from the cars we drive And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today I'm afraid my children gonna have to watch the world waste away Waste away Been having a hard time trying to accept the fact Paying money for four walls leaves the slavery intact And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today I'm afraid my children gonna have to watch the world slip away Slip away Yeah, I know I know, I know, I know, I know Life has become slavery I know, I know, I know, I know That life has become slavery I know, I know, I know, I know That life has become slavery Slavery Costs two dollars a minute and additional charges To pray to God today See, I've been looking for some guidance But the voice on the phone ain't got a damn thing to say And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today I'm afraid my children gonna have to watch the world fade away Fade away I was born a little too late To see the dream that they called America See, I only wanna be a free man But it's against the law to sleep on the ground in God's land And a little too easy seems just a little bit insane And I'm afraid I'm gonna have to run for my life One of these days, one of these days One of these days Yeah, I know I know, I know, I know, I know Life has become slavery I know, I know, I know, I know Life has become slavery I know, I know, I know, I know Life has become slavery Slavery The life in my body Has been poisoned with lead and junk food and toxic waste The sky is my mind It's been clouded with cigarettes and fluorocarbons Petroleum distillates The water's my heart It's been broken with booze and drugs and shooting up paste The sun is my spirit It belongs to all of us I guess we're all just one sick race Just one sick race And autonomy shall reward itself with freedom And humility shall reward itself with peace And the dissolution of possession And the integration of humanity Will bring forth a sharing for our responsibilities For our lives (For our lives) For our Earth For our lives (For our lives) For our Earth
