Everyone knows the state of the world at the hands of consumerism and the grinding machine of progress chasing ever elusive improvements... I spit some ferociously indicting rapped lyrics of indignation interspersed with the quest for personal spirituality on this one. The beat is supposed to be overly quantized to represent this marching machine itself...peace :)
lyrics
Some can't see it from where we're at
But things will change, guaranteed of that
Cos to kill the earth means to give birth
To a process designed to test our worth
As we weather change, we'll rearrange
Stop our barbarism and heed our range
Of our devastation…machine mastication!
Running through resources…what are we chasin?
The golden dream and the limousine?
Or the cream of a materialist pyramid scheme?
Where are we goin? What seeds are we sowin?
When life on earth is no longer growin!
To support destruction; plain obstruction
Planetary harmony can't get a pain reduction
If we take a step back, listen and act
We'll align with our purpose and remain intact
Yet as I tour the lands so vast I see
A mix of madness and abandoned glee
Some are waking…their worlds are shaking
Whilst others are quaking as the serpents snaking
Deeper and deeper into our lives,
Will there be relief, is there an end in sight?
Cos as long as we comply, as long as we allow
We'll be rendered slaves to this old cash cow
Huh…what am I saying?
My mutterings aloud are for sure betraying
My views on love, life and our slaying
Of our means to sustain…what are we playing?
A game - too big to comprehend
It's got a cosmic flavour - and has no end
It's about experience and realisation
And you gain more points as you pass each new station
But the real progress exists within
This vehicle at birth that we're all given
To cultivate it is a life long task
If we don't do it, it's like wearing a mask
To conceal our minds and block our hearts
From joining all or to find our path
Cos our soul needs constant nourishment
From an in tune mind with encouragement
Linked into source we're a powerful force
Tapping into the matrix, universal thought
Resonating together, cutting our tether
To a dense vibration, to become a feather
Light and free to float with ease
Riding winds of change to make trouble cease
So if you dig the vibe, then I ask you please
To pass this on and promote some peace
