Do you like champagne?
Do you wanna run away?
Will you roll in your grave when you think about
All that you had missed?
Did you set it on fire?
Did you spend your days in denial?
Alone with your grip on the clutch of the engine
Of the ever-fading moment?
I keep myself alone in my secrets
Avoid that which is difficult to deal with
Smoke that herb in bed with my princess
To see clear
Run my mouth to fill the void daily
As a Trail of Tears is trailing behind me
I was gonna be the change of the world
But I'm just here alone again
Flipping through my phone again
Life's not illusion but it's not quite real
To be what you are and to do what you feel
You gotta give it some time
Give it some time
At times it might seem like we've lost the war
But it's just one battle, no less and no more
You gotta give it some time
Give it some time
Being alone is some kind of paradox
Feels like a plague but deep down you know it's not
Meditate to find the key
To see clear
This Trail of Tears is everyone's tragedy
We seek justice and we seek peace
While our oppressors feast on their own greed
I'm spitting bars and building an army
We can take em' on in North Dakota
Change the backwards laws of Arizona
Start the wave out here in California
Free yourself cause no one can own ya
Wake up to the situation at hand
Write to congress or join a punk band
We are the change of the world
And life's not illusion but it's not quite real
To be what you are and to do what you feel
You gotta lay it all down, leave it to the earth
Come on baby don't you remember what its worth?
Of all the things that I've said before
I think its time I act on it
I'm on my feet and I'm out the door
Here we go
Life's an anomaly
Cause it's all about your friends and your family
But in a strange way, simultaneously
You gotta look out for yourself as much as you can, see?
And get after them golden dreams
And in time you can manifest destiny
As you're learning to walk the way of the Tao
Live in between the then and now
And give it some time
Contradiction, hypocrisy
And all the things that make a human heart uneasy
Move throw em' like the crest of the wave
Dig deep like a trough and fight like a brave
And remain unafraid as the days start to change
In the mind you had long ago forgot you had made
As you're learning to walk step by step
Chill out, take a breath
And give it some time
Give it some time
Give it time
