The Humans' race

Lyrics

inside the place where we hide our face
 and try to fake our fate with the faith we place
 inside a world wide race where the humans chase
 for more than what we're given
 nowadays people don't talk freely
 we walk these streets go home
 and not be seen we watch tv alone
 then phone in our orders for chinese delivery
 closed in out quarters so high we forget that we
 ever knew any better then this
 and now we swim in the sewage together in bliss
 and it's a sad state of affairs
 they're making us scared to even set foot outside our own houses
 and now it like every place i look i see
 propaganda from the papers to the books i read
 and they're preparing us for a staged terrorist war
 so they can centralize the powers and have us scared to the core
 my parents ignore it guess it's just too deeply embedded in their heads that the truth is on tv
 so breath deep and be free of all this
 civillized society or whatever you call it
 sometimes i get lost in my trips to escapeism
 vision of a world free from pre-born racism
 and isn't it a gift how i'm free inside
 they can steal a child's mind but never rob him from his light
 and some nights we all fall asleep feeling like hypocrites
 say you changed the world but only talked a bit of shit
 we all quit on ourselves at one point or another
 suffer bouts of self doubt as we try to recover
 but it all starts with thought and talk which leads to action
 how far can we be pushed til we respond with reaction
 for now i turn my back and all i want to leave behind
 is peace of mind as an illusion of the freedom i can't find
 the freedom the freedom the freedom i can't find
 the freedom the freedom the freedom i can't find
 the freedom the freedom the freedom i can't find
 the freedom i can't find
 the freedom i can't find
 inside the place where we hide our face
 and try to fake our fate with the faith we place
 inside a world wide race where the humans chase
 for more than what we're given
 inside the place where we hide our face
 and try to fake our fate with the faith we place
 inside a world wide race where the humans chase
 and try to take things from the living
 "why yes"
 "just watch who you playing"
 it aint me in a way where the odds are on my side
 "count em up"
 1, 3, 5
 it ain't beyond on a day
 i can't even find my mind
 "help me out"
 be my guide
 it ain't beyond on a day
 I got no one to blame, I got nothing but shame
 and it's a rainy day, i need sunshine
 cus i'm just one blind man
 Nothing left to see and nothing left to say
 But nothing left to hear and nothing left to jade
 And nothing left me yesterday because I had nothing left to say
 Nothing, done up and went away
 When the same pain became insane
 Picture in the picture frame
 You big bitch to plain
 Kiss your brain, this love game
 Your history maintains loves smile remains
 I'll take a leave of absence
 With a sleeve of Abstinthe
 5 grams of magic mushrooms
 And I'll see what happens
 And if you need me
 I won't be reached
 I'll be relaxing
 With my feet up
 Send a postcard
 I'll read the caption
 I don't need distractions
 Coffee, weed or aspirin
 Just open minds and open hearts
 So come see us rapping
 And when I'm done doing my thing
 I won't be a has been
 I'll just be done doing my thing
 With my seat relaxing
 And on the day I die
 I can say I tried to save my tribe
 Please don't cry
 Away I fly where I can play by my rules
 And take my time, reach those skies
 And on the day I die
 I can say I tried to save my tribe
 Please don't cry
 Away I fly where I can play by my rules
 And take my time, reach those skies
 Inside the place where we hide our face
 And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
 Inside a world wide race where the humans chase
 For more than what we're given
 Inside the place where we hide our face
 And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
 In a world wide race where the humans chase
 And try to take things from the living
