I've been having a hard time trying to justify The clouds arising from the cars we drive And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world waste away Been having a hard time trying to accept the fact That paying money for four walls leaves the slavery intact And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world slip away I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery Costs two dollars a minute and additional charges to pray to god today See I've been looking for some guidance but the voice on the phone ain't got a damn thing to say And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world fade away I was born a little too late to see the dream that they called America See I only want to be a Free man but it's against the law to sleep on the ground in Gods land And a little too easy seems just a little bit insane And I'm afraid I'm going to have to run for my life one of these days I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery The ground is my body, it's been poisoned with lead and junk food and toxic waste The sky is my mind it's been clouded with cigarettes and fluorocarbons and petroleum distillates The water's my heart, it's been broken with booze and drugs and shooting up paste The sun is my spirit, it belongs to all of us, I guess we're all one sick race And autonomy shall reward itself with freedom And humility shall reward itself with peace And the dissolution of possession and the integration of humanity Shall bring forth a sharing of our responsibility For our lives and our earth
