Forgetting the past is like danger
Like taking sweets from a stranger
Understanding the reasons is never appeasing
We behave like strangers
From another dimension
It's important to mention
Didn't care for it then
And its barley the law that maintains the pretention
We've seen the pot boil
Too many times on one soil
One would think we were a threat
To the national reserve of fossil fuel oil
It's just a matter of time
Can't even call it a surprise
Temperatures on the climb
And we're looking an unnecessary up rise
Have to remain focused, it's choice that decides
I know it's hard but for a second be strong for the youngens and dry your eyes
It's like lost in time, when intolerance pulls up behind
Could go wrong if you let it, be smart so the outcome won't be a surprise
Lost in translation
Is the idea that we're one in this nation
It's more like a gated community confused about unity
looking from our station
When the floor seems to drop
You got to know that's not where it stops
Helpless too many times
It's time for a change new year ball just dropped
We live in an uptight nation
Yet the world is too small for "hateration"
But It's the dish of the day
Frequency suggest times up on moderation
seems murky in the days ahead
Dealing with tunnel vision that won't break bread
This all should have been a dream
Till that dream starts to follow like the walking dead
Have to remain focused, it's choice that decides
I know it's hard but for a second be strong for the youngens and dry your eyes
It's like lost in time, when intolerance pulls up behind
Could go wrong if you let it, be smart so the outcome won't be a surprise
said it in Emergency
Some took it as a false alarm
Go back to one-twelve
And remember that you got to plan further than an arm
Richard Pryor joked about it
Not funny now but you had to understand
American Roulette of the land
If you're something like us they need to see both hands
Dallas broke the rule
Follow the blame as the nation digs for it
Have to refocus pain
If it's eye for an eye, then no one can see through it
Still, sound the alarm
Everyone matters what's there to understand
Dreaming of an alternate land
Where the lines disappear for all who walk the land
Have to remain focused, it's choice that decides
I know it's hard but for a second be strong for the youngens and dry your eyes
It's like lost in time, when intolerance pulls up behind
Could go wrong if you let it, be smart so the outcome won't be a surprise
