Survive

I'm the cold one seemingly the enlightened one

You don't see me screaming the frightened one

Everybody's rooted therapy I'll be your stupid therapy

All these illusions we've created in this life

Just to Survive in this World

I'm the bold one dreaming up irresponsible fun

You don't see me healing the forgotten ones

Everybody's useless majesty Everybody refuse this reality

Is this the consciousness you've come to delight in

Just to Survive in this world

And you sit at home eating McDonalds

You watch the T V gleam

This maze of websites has you brainwashed

It's so fascinating

You don't see the sun much see your kids much

You have to pay for these things

To keep up with the Jones' make them jealous

Make you feel so supreme

Why are you an artist why are you a seer

Waiting tables in a daze

Why are you a dancer why are you a healer

Pushing pencils for corporate praise

Why do you ache for harmony in your prison

Freedom from your cage

Why not lose your laptop throw away your apron

There are better ways to Survive in this world

Meanwhile our water is dirty our kids shoot each other

And we can't breathe the air

There's no place to move no space to use

We reproduce as if we're unaware

That our fuel supply is almost blown

The hole in the ozone has grown

Our oil spills make the dolphins drown

There's too much trash to put in the ground

And you look away and turn off the news

You can't be responsible for what you do

It's all for the quality of life you choose

But when you've lost that right what will you do

What will you do

How will you choose to Survive in this world
