BEASTIE BOYS - Resolution Time lyrics

rate me

Actin like the last generation on earth

you're gonna fuck up a place for new birth

you're cuttin the last of the forests on the planet

Only a few hundred years since Columbus landed

Well it's due time, that we look and pay attention

As the windows who knows show the knowledge with us

Cause it's the one that we prayed for, from Mother Earth

I give the wisdom to folks, you know whole worth

In these great times, we still neglect

When they invent this land, don't give it due respect

Cause the FBI and the CIA

The whole federal government, the FDA

Well, the system doesn't work and it must be changed

And there's more people in the pen, everyday

So I visualize, resolution

Yo, everyday is in a state of evolution

Evolution time

Revolution time

Revelation time

Resolution time, resolution

We come a long way with the peace in the East

But on the home front, they riot in the streets

As it gets got hear a changin in same

And this is the Millennium still felt today

I hear the same stories time after time

The stories of fear, through violent crimes

Committed by hatredm by sentient beings

Who shall loose by kindness and it's plain to see

Now we don't have to stand for this oppression any longer

If we stand together, there's nothin stronger

We must interconnect it as though we sure have won

If we want to avoid, planetary destruction

So I work and I work because the hate in my mind

Has assumed the truth and I know I'll find

And I visualize resolution

See it all as a state of constant evolution

The world leaders were terrified of loosin their pride

Their spoiled children tellin little white lies

Vanishing numbers of unimaginable destruction

Sure as we boast they're at their last production

Threatening and challenging nature against nation

Walkin down the road, of total annihilation

Sproutin threats is insecure

Guns are for the fightingand they're immature

And it all stems from self-important beliefs

Thinking that we're better than our fellow human beings

So I wanna empower, and do what I can

And pass it along so it can be passed again

Some times I sit and I watch my mind

Watchin my thoughts as they reel and wind

And stop, and visualize resolution

For everyday is in a state of evolution
