A refreshing plunge |
|
a drink of platable water |
|
a deep inspiration on a warm summer day |
|
a safe stroll in the middle of the road community |
|
a neighbor who in times of need will not turn away |
|
I ain't no politiciam |
|
I am a citizen |
|
And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds |
|
community protection |
|
rehibilitation |
|
police that serve without legitimate right to maim |
|
global aareness |
|
ecological guilt |
|
cultural and environmental awakening |
|
I ain't no optimist |
|
I try to be a realist |
|
and I think that we are living too far out of bounds |
|
is it too much to ask? |
|
Could it be the world is shrinking? |
|
I can see the walls closing in |
|
no one can take much for granted anymore |
|
remote control |
|
three cars for every family |
|
corruption at the expense of the simple majority |
|
a violent crash |
|
a plunder of the third world |
|
any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy |
|
I ain't no blind supporter |
|
I'm a conscious citizen |
|
and I know that we are living too far out of bounds |
|
is it too much to ask? |
|
can we keep the earth from sinking? |
|
I can see the walls closing in |
|
No one can take much for granted anymore |
|
(you better not take it for granted anymore) |
|
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore |
