Meshell Ndegéocello - Fantastic Voyage lyrics

In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion and we never get old

Remember it's true dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
(Too, too, too)

We're learning to live
With somebody's depression
And I don't want to
Live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose

It's a very modern world nobody's perfect
It's a moving world but that's no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again
Will we?

And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world

Remember it's true loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too

Oh, we're learning to live
With somebody's depression
And I don't want to
Live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose

But any sudden movement
I've got to write it down
They wipe out our entire race
I've got to write it down
But, I'm still getting educated
And I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause, I'll never say anything nice again
How can I?
