And I can feel the words we speak when the lightning fills my eyes. People in this world are batshit crazy, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't one. We cannot sit, we need to scream and shout. Year by year time running out. We are the cunning, we are the bold. Set to destroy the paradigms of which are old. D.O.L.A.K.! We need it now, we don't care what it takes. We're gonna spread the word and learn from past mistakes. You know we can't forget the past, cause we're made for each other and built to last. We cannot sit, we need to scream and shout. Year by year time running out. We are the cunning, we are the bold. Set to destroy the paradigms of which are old. D.O.L.A.K.! We need it now, we don't care what it takes. We're gonna spread the word and learn from past mistakes. We are prepared for the struggle, that lay ahead. And we will fight till we are dead. We can change the world, if we believe. Defenders of Love and Kindness.

So here I am again, lost in this heap of trash. I still don't know if I'm gonna last, or how i'm even getting home. Well this time, it seems as though, these red rails ain't takin me home, and i've been on this train ride so many times alone. So look who's sleeping on the floor again, is this giving up or just giving in? And look who's crawlin on razorblades. While you sit back and say all your prayers, they're kickin the rat down the stairs. It's no wonder they are unaware of your living nightmare. Is it true what they say? Do the courteous pay? Or does it just look like they're all losing? Should I become the bad guy? Would you give me the power and paying job? Would you give me everything in life that I could ever want? Would you give me everything in life if I made everyone around me sob? There is a reason for the changing of seasons but no justification behind the logic to seize him, now he's lookin down at the delaware. Well sir, this is no petty theft. All the good times have got up and left. Yet with the love that they selfishly kept, they remain inept. And with so many suitors, who's to tell who are the looters and who are the innocent ones? Should I become the bad guy? Would you give me the power and the girl? Would I keep taking taking taking, just to be given more? So Ryel asked me "How was life flowin?" at a time where I didn't know where I was goin. I said "Aw man, ya know, it's like I'm whitewater rafting up shit's creek with a broken paddle" and laughin. And I sure do surprise myself at 3:30 in the mornin' and I'm so tired, barely hanging on. But there's no relaxation going station to station, and I feel I'm at the end of my rope.

Well now once upon a time, the righteous had it won. All people were free even though there was no sun. With 24 robots now shootin in the breeze, and when they're on paper, burn the paper, save the trees. I shout it from the mountaintops, I shout it with the band I'm a petrified redwood in the streets of robot man! I need some help, so won't you please help me? I need some help, so The Man tells me. If I don't get your help I'll never be set free. Welllll, I see you like The Stones, and that shirt sure does look new. Said "I'll give you my heart and more if you can name me a tune or two." With blank stares, the answer is nothing or some radio single junk, now I'll only talk to girls if they listen to Grand Funk. Ishtar said "now learn your lesson from that bullet that ya dodged, get outta here!" And she was gone like a mirage. I need some help, won't you please help me? I need some help, so the lord tells me. If I don't get your help I'll never be set free.

This is for the future, for the unknown, for anyone able to listen. The time has now arrived to find out what we've been missing. cause my eyes are tired and so are my hands, as useless as my head. Up until now the steps I've been taking have been replaced with distractions instead. But this is the time that we get it right. This is the time that we get it right. We ain't gonna stop till we get it right. this is the time that we get it right. Oh yeah? Well, fuck you, if you think we need you too. We've got to be more than we're destined to be. It's right within our grasp, and you know we're tryina grab it. We don't know if it's fate, or if we do it outta habit. We're just cast into a world that we, don't quite understand. Should we even bother to become your fodder and lose it all to this rock n roll band? But this is the time that we get it right. This is the time that we get it right. We ain't gonna stop till we get it right. this is the time that we get it right. Oh yeah? Well, fuck you, if you think we need you too. We've got to be more than we're destined to be. I can't just sit at home and act like I'm already dead, when it drifts away and it slips away. Got to know it's the only thing we can do with our lives, and I know that it's real. I try to believe that our time is running out and though it makes me sad, it really ain't that bad.

Ain't got no money, ain't got no car. Ain't got no paper, that let's you go far. All I got is spirit, and this here guitar. And I'll play it for you, cause baby I'm a star. Don't you dare think about coming to me sayin "don't you worry 'bout a thing" 'Cause I know that you're all ignorant about what's really happening. But this culture is getting hijacked, by the respectful and the kind. Gotta stay elusive, dive into the vaulted abyss of your mind. Attention all you hypnotized by disco sass! You better wake up and get your head out of your ass! There's so many of you, without a shred of class. No class(x5)! Nothing will grow, the soil's getting fucked fast. And how the fuck do we help detroit? There's so many things that you're afraid to exploit. Exploit(x5)! This culture is getting hijacked, by the respectful and the kind. Gotta stay elusive, dive into the vaulted abyss of your mind.

Well the crow and the sparrow are flying down south looking for a belle to ring. They were far from home, they were rollin' stoned just looking for a place to sing. Well I got me a Black Velvet blanket, and if ya know what I mean, then call me and I'll share it, and then I'll make you my queen. I know you know a thing or two 'bout playing games but I guess you didn't know about me. I'm an absoulute souldier of soul now baby. You ain't gotta impress me, but maybe you do. I'm a boxer and a gambler. I'm an assassin and a rambler. And don't you know these debts weigh heavy. Oh so heavy. I got 14 in my pocket. 10 bucks for a blunt, another 3 for the train, back in the city again. I haven't slept in days, my heart and soul's on fire. I'm already high but I can always get higher. And if you wanna go down, well baby don't mess around. And if you want ecstasy, then baby shake it for me. Shake it! Said I'm an absoulute souldier of soul now baby! An absoulute souldier of soul now baby!
