A refreshing plunge
|
a drink of platable water
|
a deep inspiration on a warm summer day
|
a safe stroll in the middle of the road community
|
a neighbor who in times of need will not turn away
|
I ain't no politiciam
|
I am a citizen
|
And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds
|
community protection
|
rehibilitation
|
police that serve without legitimate right to maim
|
global aareness
|
ecological guilt
|
cultural and environmental awakening
|
I ain't no optimist
|
I try to be a realist
|
and I think that we are living too far out of bounds
|
is it too much to ask?
|
Could it be the world is shrinking?
|
I can see the walls closing in
|
no one can take much for granted anymore
|
remote control
|
three cars for every family
|
corruption at the expense of the simple majority
|
a violent crash
|
a plunder of the third world
|
any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy
|
I ain't no blind supporter
|
I'm a conscious citizen
|
and I know that we are living too far out of bounds
|
is it too much to ask?
|
can we keep the earth from sinking?
|
I can see the walls closing in
|
No one can take much for granted anymore
|
(you better not take it for granted anymore)
|
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
|
