Ize of the World

Lyrics

I think I know what you mean? but watch what you say
 'Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
 Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
 How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
 Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
 Your body followed this feeling like following light
 Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
 And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
 You're sad but you smile, it's not in your eyes
 Your eyeballs won't change, it's the muscles around your eyes
 ♪
 An egg to fertilize, a pulse to stabilize
 ♪
 A body to deodorize, a life to scrutinize
 A child to criticize, young adults to modernize
 Citizens to terrorize, generations to desensitize
 ♪
 Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked
 You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
 How disappointed would D. I. D. I. P. P. be
 To see such power in our hands all wasted on greed?
 Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live
 As free and detached as boats to the dock?
 Just like when music was born and detached from your heart
 Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
 Night after night, you turn out the light
 You don't fall asleep right away "are we, are we done?"
 
 A desk to organize, a product to advertise
 A market to monopolize, movie stars to idolize
 Leaders to scandalize, enemies to neutralize
 No time to apologize, fury to tranquilize
 Weapons to synchronize, cities to vapori
