Conscience:
This is a time of growth for those that know/
And it’s a time of hope for those that don’t/
But if your mind is open you’ll get shown/
We’ve had our sights blinded, all of my like-minded/
People need to get up and discover the right time is/
Now, so start opposing the powers that arose/
In ancient days and paved the way to this load/
It’s so controlled, it’s sitting in most, just sit and stare/
At a television with a distant glare/
And I’m ashamed to admit it, I’m a slave to this sh*t/
As much as anybody but I’m not afraid of it/
This is where the change comes, and this is where we make some difference/
Embrace what’s within us and escape from this prison/
All it takes is a little bit of faith/
And a little bit of love, to get rid of all the hate/
Chorus:
But the thing about it is we can’t just sing about it/
We can’t just sit around and wait until they thin us out/
We figure out where we’re going while we live in doubt/
If you want my truth, listen now and just think about it/
The thing about it is we can’t even think about it/
Can’t afford a minutes time to figure how to bring about a change/
So, take a second, and shake your head/
And take a step ahead and think about it/
Dusty:
Now the ball is in our court, while we sit and watch passively/
The face of the earth changes drastically, after we/
Clear space at this rate for strip malls and factories/
We risk take a crew fate at a pace beyond gradually/
No more crops for us to harvest and feed/
Self-sufficiency replaced by clone-copy written seeds/
Now ask yourself, how can we be free/
When the water that we drink is owned by some company/
Metty:
I hear the weep up the streets, and cries up in the skies/
The weakness is disguised with deceitful lies/
Well we all eat to survive, and sleep through our lives/
Repeat in for high, all sh*t and no pride/
Never speak of our lie, let the fear fortify/
My insides are dying, trying to fit in the design/
I’m reminded daily, of a world gone crazy/
Guns mean safety for orphan babies/
Ignore the distortion you’re forced to perceive and believe/
What supercedes is love, but who agrees?
Chorus
Moses:
Could you survive in the wild, with a wife and a child/
A whole human history, a line a type and a file/
So live your life in denial, or try to live on your own/
Without your colour TV, heat, fridge or the phone/
Well the average guy lives an elaborate lie/
Waste days on slave wage beneath the passionate eye/
Now we ovulate, copulate and over-populate/
Never stop to think about the things that we were taught to hate/
Now the stage is set, watch the players place their bets/
Take a sec, shake your head, feel alive, make you sweat/
Realize that the system can’t exist without belief/
Appreciate your true potential, untwist your mouth and speak/
We’re working on building a world our children can live in/
Understand, I can’t be free, while you’re still in this prison/
And I could spend my days preaching, so on and so forth/
But it won’t change, until we don’t want to go on, no more/
Chorus x2
Conscience:
This is a time of growth for those that know/
And it’s a time of hope for those that don’t/
But if your mind is open you’ll get shown/
