BREAK IT DOWN
the leaves are changin
the winds of time are blowin
blowin us older
all of us older
i thought that older and wiser went
hand in hand
then why?
why am i not seeing the change?
they say ignorance is bliss
well then you
mus be on cloud nine
cause you're clouded judgement
your cloud of conformity
your disgusted look upon minority
your deranged sense of right and wrong
your solid view of black versus white
your misconceptual look on straight vs. gay
your controlling sense of the role of men vs.
womyn
are weighing you down
way down
you are the type to make excuses
you may find yourself charged for many abuses
you are in charge and in control of your life
but are you?
are you?
your opinions are formed by the 6 o'clock news
your values arranged by societal views
you dress based on whats cool and whats not
whats cool is based on your boys your friends
you choose your friends by how cool they are
they're cool because of their money and looks
you're cool if you can get them their fix
you're cool if you do what they say
you're cool if you just throw away
any sense of morality, compassion or justice
and what would you do if it was just us
just you and me
could you do it then?
could you say to my face that i'm not equal
could you spit in his face and call him a fag
could you look her in the eyes and call her fat
could you would you?
could you look at his skin and refuse to go
further
could you look at her breasts and objectify her
would you stand all alone tell him to hand over the
dough
as he stares down the barrell of your 44
could you pull the trigger and take all the heat
could you, would you?
could you, would you?
could you, would you?
could you?
