Soul Khan, Akie Bermiss - Wellstone lyrics

Sha la la la la la live for today

I wake up, put the brush to my busted teeth
Day one of these lucky luxuries
Now I wake up whenever it comforts me
Sit down on the train on a dusty seat
Into the city where they hustle, cheat
Just to eat a more supple meat
Why pay for the cow when
The tongue's for free
I'mma save the world so my first son can see
Might find the door but never touch the key
They get tricked by slick Mike Huckabee
All my old ways now seeming dumb to me
But, you'd have probably done the same
When you was young as me
I'm taking every shot til the buzzer beeps
And touching every base til I scuff my cleats
Been nice since I was in dungarees
So when it's all said and done
I'mma fuck and feast and we walk
And we fall and we all must live for today

Now I used to play with them little army men
Until I really learned what an army meant
Got fans that are uniformed guardians
And they all got family that longs for them
I don't wanna hear another word from Barack
Til he turns up the clock
And brings them home
They're needed more here
Where the people don't fear the
Next moment something explodes
And we're still torturing damn
It feels fraudulent
To lie that we more righteous than
The people that we war against
The audience is partying with
All the best intoxicants
As their fellow humans smell the fumes
Of dead and rotten flesh

So I go to sleep, then open each
My eyes to find that no one seems
To care about the slowly creeping
Ocean sea that's growing deeper
Oh, you just be hating Soul
Cause they're too cold like the H2O
Where the glaciers float
Wait, wait, where'd the glaciers go?
Never mind - your brain's too slow
Sorry if I'm not believing
What you taught to stop the heathens
And really, if there's karma
Why did they leave Gandhi bleeding?
I ain't trapped within the lines of
Any kind of palm you reading
This is my life
And I'mma live it like I've always dreamed it

My vision of a just society
Is that every person
Every small child should have the same
Chance to reach their full potential
To me, that's the American dream
That's the goodness of our country
But we have still a fairly long ways to go
For our country to really live
Up to that promise
If we're gonna have the kind
Of change in our country
That'll make the United States of
America a better America i guarantee you
It's gonna be the results of
Much more grassroots politics
Much more grassroots leadership development
Much more of a voice from people
From the neighborhoods and the community
