Alison - Lifetime
текст песни

Wasting time in the sheets, chick flicks on repeat
Eating like a beast or barely eating anything
To stay fit, for fighting wars in countries that don't want it
Hell they didn't even start it
Cause ya'll got big guns and ya'll wanna flaunt them
Lets just keep em coming then, wait and see what happens
The greedy feed the ignorant, rich defeat the smart
Tracks are covered up, shit gets hard to tell apart
You're worked up over words written on the web
So you can tell your friends of all your good intent
When really what's said is there's much more to dread
The tip of an iceberg beginning to melt
Lately you've noticed it seems a little fishy
Sly politicians all so awfully busy Pointing fingers on end
Till you forget where it began
Broad strokes hiding what's relevant

It's gonna take a longer while
to find the course of revolution
There's enough work for a lifetime
It's gonna take a longer while
to find the course of revolution
There's enough work for a lifetime

There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work for a lifetime
There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work for a lifetime

Rookies in a race we're mindlessly running
To keep up the pace, to keep your money rolling
This is a machine, I'm just another wheel spinning in this lottery,
You're the only one winning
I need a way out
I'm not one to sit and watch the hunger and drought shit
I don't get how we live with one another
when children are slipping out the hands of their mother
Who had no rain and no harvest once again
Cause the change of weather's finally kicking in
And she ain't never got the chance to learn 'of what's in store
Just admit it
We've meddled with the core of the system,
We've made this mess and been persistent
Known since the eighties it wasn't worth the risk, and
As time flies, so does our wisdom,
Off on jet planes to cement our existence
Being a wiz of the nineties I just don't get it
You were just gonna ignore it?

It's gonna take a longer while
to find the course of revolution
There's enough work for a lifetime
It's gonna take a longer while
to find the course of revolution
There's enough work for a lifetime

There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work for a lifetime
There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work
There's enough work for a lifetime

When the lights are out
I look at the skies through my window
It's quiet in my head now,
But for a streak of moonlight on the floor
Another string of words
My collection of pearls from waters washing over me:
A simple glass wire decorated with memories
I await an inconsistency that will shake the earth below my feet
And tear my world to bits and pieces
Every pearl escaping my beliefs
Cause If I can't drift from what I think is right,
I'll get stranded in the confines of my mind

They say we know more about space
Than we know about the deep
Blue
And as I write in the sand,
The ocean persistently breaks it's waves at my naked feet
As if to tell me

Truth is just a theory
Making sense of currents running through your body
