Fifteen - Petroleum Distillation lyrics

rate me

I've 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

And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world waste away

Been having a hard time trying to accept the fact

That paying money for four walls leaves the slavery intact

And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today

And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world slip away

I know, I know, I know, life has become 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

And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world fade away

I was born a little too late to see the dream that they called America

See I only want to be a Free man but it's against the law to sleep on the ground in Gods land

And a little too easy seems just a little bit insane

And I'm afraid I'm going to have to run for my life one of these days

I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery

The ground is my body, it's been poisoned with lead and junk food and toxic waste

The sky is my mind it's been clouded with cigarettes and fluorocarbons and 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 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

Shall bring forth a sharing of our responsibility

For our lives and our earth
