Sweatshop Union - The Thing About It lyrics
[Sweatshop Union - The Thing About It lyrics]
This is a time of growth for those that know
And it's a time of hope for those that don't
But, if your mind is open you'll get shown
We've had our sights blinded
All of my like-minded
People need to get up and discover
The right time it's now
Just start opposin' the powers that are rose
In ancient days And pave the
Way to disclothe it
So control it's sickening Most
Just sit and stare
At a television with a distant glare
And I'm ashamed to admit it
I'm a slave to the shit
As much as anybody but I'm not afraid of it
This is where the change comes in
This is where we make some difference
Embrace what's within us And
Escape from this prison
All it takes is a little bit of faith
And a little bit of love to
Get rid of all the hate
But the thing about it is we
Can't just sing about it
We can't just sit around and wait
Until they thin us out
We figure out where we're goin'
While we live in doubt
If you want my truth, listen now
We'll just think about it
The thing about it is we
Can't even think about it
Can't afford a minutes time to figure how
To bring about a change so
Take a second and shake your head and then
Take a step ahead and think about it
Now the ball is in our court
While we sit and watch passively
The face of the earth
Changes drastically after we
Clear space at this rate for
Strip malls and factories
We risk take a cruel fate
At a pace beyond gradually
No more crops for us to harvest and feed
Self-sufficiency replaced by clone
Copy-written seeds
Now ask yourself how can we be free
When the water that we drink
Is owned by some company
I hear the weap of the streets
And cry's of the skies
See weakness disguised as disceiptful lies
But we all lead to survive
And sleep through our lives
Weedin' for highs, all sheep and no pride
Never speak of a lie I let the fear fortify
My inside's'll die tryin' to
Fit in the design
I'm reminded daily of world gone crazy
Guns mean safety for orphan babies
Ignore the distortion
You're forced to perceive and believe
What's supersede's as love but who agrees
Could you survive in the wild
With a wife and child?
Our whole human history's a line
A type and a file
So live your life in denial
And try to live on your own
Without ya colour tv, heat
Fridge or the phone
While the average guy lives an elaborate life
Wait's days a slave wage
Beneathe a passionate eye
Now we ovulate, copulate and overpopulate
Never stop to think about the things
That we were taught to hate
Now the stage is set
Watch the players place their bets
Take a sec, shake ya head, feel alive
Make em' sweat realize that the system can't
Exist with out belief
Appreciate ya true potential
Un-twist your mouth and speak
We're workin' on buildin' a world
Our children can live
Understand I can't be free while
Your still in this prison
And I can spend my days preaching
As so on and so forth
But it won't change 'til we don't
Wanna go on no more
This is a time of growth for those that know
And it's a time of hope for those that don't
But, if your mind is open you'll get shown
And it's a time of hope for those that don't
But, if your mind is open you'll get shown
We've had our sights blinded
