311 - Borders lyrics

There are days I wanna leave LA
I wanna break out the maze
Escape the dark haze these days
So many kids I know your feelin’ crazed
Crave material thangs and makin’ slave wages
Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff
While livin’ where rich people
Always buyin’ some stuff
So you try to act tough
And hide what’s inside
Hold your head high gettin’ fucked
Up and rollin’ dice
As bad as yours and bad enough I’m sure
My heart wants to love but
Must navigate through war
'Cause seein’ that we’re wired
To short circuit
Must mean the meek who will inherit
The earth already work it

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money
Plastic, the life end of the century
People actin’ fake can’t see the omens
Wake up yourself ’cause change is comin’
There’s a land by the sand, grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin’ the frenzy
And everybody starts to peep
Around the corners
Before they take their next step
They know their borders

In this $1998 plus shipping
And handling type nether-
World every time merchandise dips
In out coffers
We buy the image that cost of livin’ uh huh
The fakest shit and act cool
Our friends are watchin’ attention shoppers
Check the selection in your reflection
Don’t you feel good
Does it enhance your fresh complexion?
You gotta have it, you got gots to have it
What
You gotta have it, you got gots to have it
As the world turns and all the money we burn
On the bullshit to make us happy
Sometimes we never learn
That we’re self-centered we
Think we’re better
We look down as a people upon our elders

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money
Now let go of it cause it’s dissolving
It created all your fears
And kept you hustling
Made you sever all the ties to your family

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money
Plastic, the life end of the century
People actin’ fake can’t see the omens
Wake up yourself 'cause change is comin’
There’s a land by the sand, grab the money
Hollywood is such a place fuelin’ the frenzy
And everybody starts to peep
Around the corners
Before they take their next step
They know their borders
