Steve Balsamo - Are You With Me? lyrics
rate meI've been to the east at the feet of the wise man
I've been to the west on the street with the rich man
I'm stuck in my head pretending that it's all right
I stood on the edge, and stared into the abyss
Watched all the faces and wondered if I've missed
Myself or ourselves as we see it all going down
I turn on the TV, the words seem all useless
Nothing but lies and apocryphal distress
Am I losing my mind or freeing myself from these chains?
Another one caught in a soap opera madness
The movie star dies of a terminal sadness
But all of the time they're wearing a game show smile
Love is a swearword, the conflict is tribal
I saw peace in the white bird I swear on the bible
The mother of nature down on her knees...
And somebody shot the bird down from the sky...
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you ready?
Tell me are you ready, tell me are you ready?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you ready?
Tell me are you ready, tell me are you ready?
Are you with me?
So this is the new ways, this is the space age
Are we guiding the dollar or building a soul cage?
Am I fighting for the right just to make you wrong?
I don't want to hear any lies, but keep talking
I don't want to open my eyes, I'm sleepwalking
This dumbing me down it's keeping me up all night long
Is reality biting this life that I'm living?
This famous for fifteen seconds to nothing
The fuzzy logic is tragic, but magic is in the words
Take a helter-skelter it's the only way down
Is it Charlie Madson or Charlie Brown?
Who's running this show? It's a dog eat dog eat world
But I'm ready to wake up, I'm ready to learn.
But I'm ready to wake up, I'm ready to learn.
But I'm ready to wake up, I'm ready to learn.
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you ready?
Tell me are you ready, tell me are you ready?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you ready?
Tell me are you ready, tell me are you ready?
Are you with me?
All of the lovers, all of the haters
All of the brother, all of the fakers
All of the poets and all of the singers
All of the losers, and all of the winners
Those who are left, those who are right
Those who are black and those who are white
All of the gurus and all the misguiders
All the uniters and all the dividers
All of the prohets, and all of the leaders
All of the fathers, and all of the mothers
All of the rich, and all of the poor
All of the me, and all of the you
All of the me, and all of the you
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you ready?
Tell me are you ready, tell me are you ready?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you ready?
Tell me are you ready, tell me are you ready?
Are you with me?
