Sweatshop Union - The Humans' Race lyrics
[Sweatshop Union - The Humans' Race lyrics]
Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate
With the faith we place
Inside a world wide race
Where the humans chase
For more than what we're given
Nowadays people don't talk freely
We walk these streets, go home
And not be seen, we watch TV alone
Then phone in our orders for Chinese delivery
Closed in our quarters, so high we forget
That we ever knew any better than this
And now we swim in the sewage
Together in bliss and it's a
Sad state of affairs
They're making us scared to even set
Foot outside our own houses
And now it's like every place I look I see
Propaganda from the papers
To the books I read
And they're preparing us for
A staged terrorist war
So they can centralize the power and
Have us scared to the core
My parents ignored
I guess it's just too deeply
Imbedded in their heads
That the truth is on TV
So breathe deep and be free of all this
Civilized society or whatever you call it
Sometimes I get lost in
My trips through escapism
Vision of a world free from greed, war
Racism
And isn't it a gift how I'm free inside
They can steal a child's mind but
Never rob him of his light
And some nights we all fall
Asleep feeling like hypocrites
Say you changed the world but only
Talked a bit of shit
We all quit on ourselves from
One point or another
Suffer bouts with self doubt as
We try to recover
But it all starts from thought and
Talk which leads to action
How far can we be pushed
Till we respond with reaction?
For now I turn my back and
All I wanna leave behind
This peace of mind is an illusion
Of the freedom I can't find
The freedom, the freedom
The freedom I can't find
The freedom I can't find
The freedom I can't find
Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate
With the faith we place
Inside a world wide race
Where the humans chase
For more than what we're given
Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate
With the faith we place
In a world wide race where the humans chase
And try to take things from the living
Why yes, Just watch who you playing
It ain't me in a way
Where the odds are on my side
Count em up one three five
It ain't beyond a day
I can't even find my mind, help me out
Be my guide it ain't beyond a day
I got no one to blame
I got nothing but shame
And it's a rainy day, I need sunshine
But, I'm just one blind man
Nothing left to see and nothing left to say
But nothing left to hear and
Nothing left to jade
And nothing left me yesterday because I
Had nothing left to say
Nothing, done up and went away
When the same pain became insane
Picture in the picture frame
You big bitch to plain
Kiss your brain, this love game
Your history maintains loves smile remains
I'll take a leave of absence
With a sleeve of Absinthe
5 grams of magic mushrooms
And I'll see what happens and if you need me
I won't be reached i'll be relaxing
With my feet up send a postcard
I'll read the caption
I don't need distractions
Coffee, weed or aspirin
Just open minds and open hearts
So come see us rapping
And when I'm done doing my thing
I won't be a has been
I'll just be done doing my thing
With my seat relaxing
And on the day I die
I can say I tried to save my tribe
Please don't cry
Away I fly where I can play by my rules
And take my time, reach those skies
And try to fake out fate
With the faith we place
Inside a world wide race
Where the humans chase
For more than what we're given
Nowadays people don't talk freely
We walk these streets, go home
And not be seen, we watch TV alone
Then phone in our orders for Chinese delivery
Closed in our quarters, so high we forget
That we ever knew any better than this
And now we swim in the sewage
