[00:32.81]Baby girl everyday could be red lobster
[00:35.24]And you would be draped in pearls
[00:37.17]But it's not read the front page herald we need help
[00:39.80]Sometime I wish I could save the world
[00:42.99]Till death I wonder if there's any heros left
[00:45.61]Quiet is kept won't hold my breath
[00:47.76]Land of the slaves home of the graves
[00:49.33]Of war aids young aids gone crazed
[00:50.65]These military ways in a flak scene
[00:53.74]Love and basketball
[00:54.55]Blood and alcohol
[00:55.96]Cryin' my eyes out
[00:57.18]As I watch the tower fall
[00:58.55]Nowhere is safe comfort is a coffin man
[01:01.44]Lookin' out the window duckin' and crawlin' man

[02:07.79]Cause I could never say the whole world is too demanding
[02:10.57]And I could never video shoes I couldn't handle it
[02:13.09]So what if I tried to just do scales and not dibs
