BEASTIE BOYS - The Update lyrics

rate me

I Can Hear The Trumpets Blowing Screaming Out The End Of Time

Look Around And Listen And You'll See Every Sign

The Waters Are Polluted As The Forests Are Cut Down

Bombing And Drilling Deep Below The Ground

Check The Prophecies From Around The World

And Look Around Now As It All Unfurls

Look Into Yourself And See What Goes On

Get A Feeling In Your Heart Of The Right From Wrong

Because The Mother Earth Needs To Be Respected

Been Far From Too Long That She's Been Neglected

Race Against Race, Such A Foolish Waste

It's Like Cutting Off Your Nose To Spite Your Face

And At The End Of The Wars, What Was The Cost

It's Clear That The Earth Was The One Who Lost

We Are One With Her As She Is One With Us

It's Unreal How She Is Treated So Unjust

As Our Planet Grows Smaller Each And Every Day

Everyone Affecting Everyone In Every Way

We're All Citizens Of The World Community

All Here Together And We're Searching For Unity

Over The Years, I've Grown And Changed So Much

Things I Know Now Years Ago, I Couldn't Touch

There Are Things I've Done That I Wouldn't Do Again

But I'm Glad That I Did 'Cause I've Learned From Them

I Just Try To Stay Present Right Here, Right Now

No Worries, No Fears And Without Any Doubts

It's About Time [x4]

'Cause In These Times, These Changing Times

A Transition Is Occuring And I Am Not Blind

As The Pendlum Swings A New Age We Enter

And With Every Swing, It Draws Closer To The Center

Yes The Storm Before The Calm And The Wars That Lead To Love

Things Must Run Their Course So We Push And We Shove

But We're Here To Work It Out In One Way Or Another

To Find A Mutual Respect For Ourselves And One Another

And The True Key Is A Trust In Self

For When I Trust Myself, I Fear No One Else

I Took Control Of My Life, Just As Anyone Can

I Want Everyone To See It's In The Palm Of Your Hand

The Past Is Gone, The Future Yet Unborn

But Right Here And Now Is Where It All Goes On

I Know We Can Fix It And It's Not Too Late

I Give Respect To King And His Nonviolent Ways

I Dream And I Hope And I Won't Forget

Someday I'm Going To Visit On A Free Tibet

Someday I'm Going To See Us All Joined As One

And It Would Be Too Bad To Blow It Up Before We're Done

'Cause We Long Behind The Rage Learning From The Pain

The Love Behind The Tension Like The Sun Behind The Rain

I'm Sending Loving Light To All That Is

To All Creation And The Life We Live

I'm Not Preaching Bull Shit, Just Speaking My Mind

'Cause I'm Here Now And It's About Time
