FISH - Mission Statement lyrics

I punched the clock in at 35, I
Thank the Lord that I'm still alive
Sometimes I find it hard to
Believe that my hearts
Still beating that I'm still on my feet
I'm gonna give you
Gonna give you a mission statement

I've been in a downward spiral for
A very long, long time
I've been stepping over dollars just to
Pick up a shiny dime
The way I see it, it ain't gonna work
I'm kissing the past goodbye
I'm gonna give you
Gonna give you a mission statement

I got no more patience, got no more time
I'm tired of following orders
Sticking to the company line

I want to change the world
And I'm starting with myself
A private revalation concerning
Everybody else
We're all just lonely people we're
All looking for some help
Too busy crunching numbers and
Fighting for ourselves
All it takes is kindness and
A little love and care
And this planet that we live on can
Be a Heaven we can share
A mission statement
The tears of hungry children are
Falling in the dust
The scraps of a rich man's table
Could fill their starving mouths
While some they thirst for water
Others get drunk on wine
To some their lives a prison and
They're out there doing time
I'm gonna give you
Give you a mission statement

I got no more patience, I got no more time
I'm tired of following orders
Sticking to the company line

I want to change the world
And I'm starting with myself
A private revalation concerning
Everybody else
We're all just lonely people we're
All looking for some help
Too busy crunching numbers and
Fighting for ourselves
All it takes is kindness and
A little love and care
And this planet that we live on can
Be a Heaven we can share
A mission statement
