I took a walk yesterday not knowin' where I was goin'
|
and ended up in a park where I stayed until it turned dark
|
My eyes looked to the sky where I focused on the space between the stars
|
Cause it's what makes them beautiful, and I'm feelin' empty
|
Empty as the gas tank of the car on the side of the road
|
and just a little hopeless like the people tryin' to wave down some help
|
Why's a friend so hard to come by these days?
|
|
These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing
|
You got a whole lot of people tellin' you which way to go and you go
|
And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics
|
Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix
|
The melting pot is boiling over these days
|
|
I took a walk yesterday not knowing where I was goin'
|
not knowin' why I was movin', not knowin' what I was doin'
|
but tryin' to walk with some purpose, put a little meaning in my stride,
|
Put a little meaning in my life, why ask why
|
I look for answers in the sky and if the tree's could only talk to me
|
I'd know a lot more than I did before, than I did before
|
Than I did before these days
|
|
These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing
|
You got a whole lot of people, tellin' you which way to go and you go
|
And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics
|
Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix
|
The melting pot is boiling over these days
|
|
These days, these days, these days, these days, these days, these days
|
|
I took a walk yesterday not knowin' where I was goin'
|
It reminded me of how free I am
|
But what a slave I am to my own discontent
|
|
These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing
|
You got a whole lot of people tellin' you which way to go and you go
|
And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics
|
Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix
|
The melting pot is boiling over these days
