You wake up in the morning
And you go outside
Try to breathe the air
But it’s too smoky
To survive
You’re parched, and you’re thirsty
And you need a little drink
But the water is so polluted
That you can’t even think
Your stomach growls
You’re hungry
But the food
Taste just so bad
Too many chemicals
In our life
To try and survive
The products that we use
To try and make us safe
Are far too incomplete
That is really just a waste
The good Lord
Gave you something
But you just don’t’ understand
That you gotta have your mojo
So you do all that you can
And when the afternoon comes
And you’re in the same ol place
Who care about the colors
Who cares about the race
The evening comes
You’re sorry about the things you
Did that day
You ask the lord to forgive ya
And you try and change your ways
But the world just keeps on turning
And you try and make your way
To a place of personal safety
And a place where you can stay
There is a place in heaven
But you die before you go
So you better have some seeds
For your personal safety do you sow
You can buy a lot of products
For yourself
And for your kin
But when it comes a time
For atoning
They call your markers in
So don’t you get caught up
In the money grabbers way
Just try and read on up
About the proper way to pray
And if you ever worry about
The very simple life you live
Just remember everybody
Has got something to give
You can’t preach the word
For those who have no ears
But you can show and tell them
How they need to live
The media try’s and tell us
Just how the world should be
But just open up your eyes
And the word will make you free
We don’t care about the products
And how they make you feel
Just give us some loving
And that will turn our wheels
They say it’s a free society
but all they do is make us pay
It’s all for your personal safety
They say it is the way
To do unto others
As they would do unto you
It’s not what you say
But it is the golden rule
So have a bit of fun
In the things that you do
And hope the stars above ya
Don’t drop it down
On you
We don’t care about no
Religion we don’t care
About the sin
We just keep on a living
It’s the world that we are in
Don’t want to hear about your problems
Gotta a bit more than we can spare
Just gotta hear the solution
We are people down on here
So we just keep on
A living
Got nothing else to do
But if the world keeps
On a turning then the Lord
Will have something to do!
Are we really safe?
You just read it on
Odds & Ends
