lyrics

Society, friends, family, TV, or money?
What's important to you isn't necessarily for me
Back up from the screen and the drama it brings
To see there's more to life than just the material things
Drop the negativity and treat all others proper
Live positively and your life will prosper
Meditate for the answers that many have sought for
And you'll ascend to the full potential of what life has to offer
Respect individuality: politically or religiously
Diversity is the key to achieve community
You might not agree with race or sexuality
Yet treat others equally: just like how you'd like to be
The propaganda you create only propagates hate
Claiming heaven's gate only opens for your faith?
Don't feed me your lines cause I'm doing just fine
Knowing your grand design is billions of years behind mine
Some have to be right - others want to get along
Some have to fight - others want to belong
I won't judge what right or decide what's wrong
I'd rather pass this light for you to *** my ****


Life's there one second and the next it's gone
Without a warning, ya never know, ya might pass on
So live every minute like it's the last one
Cause when the time comes, what's done is done


So that's what you're after: a little piece of rapture?
An attempt to recapture your life before it's fracture
Now desensitized in an unrealized real life
So sanitized that you've sacrificed your own rights
You pack their pews cause you got points to accrue
To try to excuse what you would normally do
And when a challenge ensues: you got no new views
You assume to continue to follow their cues
Physically catatonic from a mind that's embryonic
Practically autonomic from your blind system of logic
Living life myopic in world you feel's chaotic
But to dwell is psychotic- so let's skip to the next topic:
You regurgitate everything the media spews
Can't differentiate anything be it lies or truth
After each program you got a new point of view
Cause it came from the trusted anchor of live action news
Just like your pastor preaching of another disaster
The president's more like an actor, whose party isn't a factor
So go wait in line with the other slaves to time
Or cross the line to see for yourself what aligns

Life's there one second and the next it's gone
Without a warning, ya never know, ya might pass on
So live every minute like it's the last one
Cause when the time comes, what's done is done
