lyrics

LYRICS:

what goes around sure comes around
comes around hard like Icarus hitting the ground
call it karma call it physics
action and reaction everything got its limits
brother Icarus, who's your prophet?
who's the one that will stand up to your impending apocalypse?
is he wearing a white robe long hair and sandals
or is he wearing a white lab coat and goggles
who's your messiah?
will she defend you through love or will he use fire?
when its contagious love is quite the force
before its too late love might cause us remorse
for cancerous paths we've taken,
for industrial course of events, awakened
populous, 2012 a breathe of confidence
a year that might be spiritually trans-formative
like stop! remember the time when we were lions?
before the bourgeois blues had us crying?
before Mecca, Jerusalem, before Zion?
before we predicted the future like Mayans?
the warming sun might only burn up capitalist sinners
and those without guilt might be the winners
you know the humble rooted never polluted kids
the ones that managed to stay off the grid

Those with earth's blood in their veins
might withstand the flood and its monstrous rains


can we be their students, in their acts of resistance?
let our souls take flight to higher forms of existence?
can this move be distinguished?
from cultural voyeurism bloated with privilege?
living in the city feels lonely
start seeking a real tribe like Mowgli's
run away hide from Babylon's debris
when it falls apart i hope it don't crush your tree
mother nature is resilient ....or so we believe
but just how resilient is she?
she's not getting the respect she deserves
and just like our women, we treat her like she's meant to serve
what happens when this planet serves you?
over-educated slightly medicated fools
that love one another but choose to lose some of the others in the coming collapse
of civilizations

Those with earth's blood in their veins
might withstand the flood and its monstrous rains
