Breathe

Now a couple years ago
 I told everybody
 That I was the Messiah come to save them
 They started lining up with babies to be blessed
 The sick and the lame, blocking the pavement
 I walked on water and OK sank
 Turned wine into whisky and drank, drank, drank
 Now with just a couple Snickers and some corn meal mush
 I fed six thousand at a time
 I spoke in St. Louie, ya gotta play St. Louie
 St. Louie, it's a rule of some kind
 The blind came to me and I made 'em see
 Got the deaf diggin' hi-fidelity
 Card tricks, I could do card tricks you wouldn't believe
 There's nothing innocent about a newborn babe
 That a few years here can't cure
 And it's not so much that you burn out
 Baby but you finally just endure
 Now to tell you the truth, lately even I
 Start to get a little overwhelmed
 Wars and pain and poverty
 Those have been around a long time
 But the oceans rise and the fresh water dies
 And the hate sticks harder to your insides
 And the cars get bigger and the smoke churns out
 And your idols fall and you lie a little better
 And the train gets further and further off the track
 And with each day passing it's harder to turn back
 They call Mother Earth "Mother" for a reason
 She will revolt
 Stop...
 Stop what you're doing...
 Stop what you're doing and breathe
 Stop what you're doing and breathe
 Eatin' hamburgers, corporate mergers
 Speakin' in tongues, burnin' your lungs
 Drinkin' a Coke, repeating some joke
 Kissin' the ring, Buffalo wings
 Honkin' your horn, internet porn
 Takin' the pill, writing your will
 Stop what you're doing and breathe
 Stop what you're doing and breathe
 Stop what you're doing and breathe...
