Why do we idolize those who put on a show As if they are somehow succeeding By enjoying the joy they have stolen from the world in monetary form? Enjoying what? Purgatory? Party in hell? Because that's all we're all sharing right now. And it's half their fault. The least they could do for decency's sake is to not rub it in, to give back, and to be conscious I'm state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons Away from my old life Not to mention medication No more weed I'm free? No way is this freedom The world still in shambles so how can I breathe But I'm living my best life, in terms of offering benefit Given circumstances This is really it? Huh? U.S. of A.? What kind of freedom and at what kind of cost It's like this everywhere though, see Cuz at the cost of the freedom these days comes The exploitation of you and of me The wealthy elite; They don't give a damn To them they really think that they're winning But they're no better off than you or I And they don't see the end game; They're far from reality In their space ships and late nights Workin to enslave The people I'm full of hatred Not for them, but for the system they make Cuz they don't really know We need true education I'm state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons Away from my old life Not to mention meditation No more weed I'm free? No way is this freedom The world still in shambles so how can I breathe But I'm living my best life, in terms of offering benefit Given circumstances What do you do it for? Cuz as for me I'd be dead, if it weren't for my purpose Of bringing truth into fashion Helping people to see That it's not really an option That we all need to wake up, before we can live But we can live My biggest contribution, my prayers that I say In whatever medium This album and everything else That I send your way Before the grave, what we leave to the world What it does for them, and What they summon us back with As life revolves, and we come back again Next time and the next time, until we get it right Uh I'm state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons Away from my old life Not to mention medication and meditation No more weed I'm free? No way is this freedom The world still in shambles so how can I breathe But I'm living my best life, in terms of offering benefit Given circumstances I'm state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons Away from my old life Not to mention meditation No more weed I'm free? No way is this freedom The world still in shambles so how can I breathe But I'm living my best life, in terms of offering benefit Given circumstances So what's that height of the podium worth
