Lotus - Live From The Vic In Chicago

Woke before the morning sun, I found it tucked beneath the hill
 I sat and watched it rise, it hit the sky and burst to flames
 The lotus flowers got me thinkin' 'bout the way that we live
 I got this feeling, it's gonna stop...
 Driven by religion, running backwards down a one-way road
 I've caused collisions, big decisions trying to save your soul
 Manifest destiny is just a fancy word for murder
 I got this feeling, it's gonna stop...
 A billion faces running round my head
 All got opinions but they don't mean shit
 Keep dropping bombs until the whole world's dead
 They'll say it's all been done and it's all been said
 Turn this message into a pop movement
 A fashion statement, call it politics
 You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it
 They'll say it's all been done
 Look outside the box my friend, your heart's been dead since who knows when.
 It seems we missed the mark, lost all hope and given in
 Pack up the suitcase, take the handkerchief and wipe off your chin
 The fear that drives you needs to be stopped...
 A billion faces running round my head
 All got opinions but they don't mean shit
 Keep dropping bombs until the whole worlds dead
 They'll say it's all been done and it's all been said
 Turn this message into a pop movement
 A fashion statement, call it politics
 You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it
 They'll say it's all been done
 Fell into a daze and found my mind was gone and laid to waste
 A battleground indeed where holy wars had taken place
 I saw the sunset, watched it travel down and tear through the ground
 But the hate that drives us needs to be stopped...
