Spare Me Some Change
Like a new day life has broken - breathed into my mind
As I digest this rhythm my spirit starts to shine
It makes me kind - blind - rewinds hate and anger that I stashed
Lonely feeling that I harbor takes a big torpedo blast!
I think my past is captured - my past is plastered
My past has been re-cast - my cast has been re-mastered
I gotta grasp it fast before it gets released
I found some peace - but these times are few
‘Cause when my field is lit it fires back your “FUCK YOU!”
Whatchoo gonna do? I think you thought I grew into a clean energy source
Just let me run my course
Discharge my remorse like the good side of the force
Chorus
Falling into – Life’s hopeless tragedies
Drowning without you under dark covered skies
Can’t help dig the trenches - under your fences
Has it been? So Long? Will I learn how to smile?
People stealin’ to get to what they think is theirs
No one cares - that’s why I get these hateful stares
Machines drain your balance at the local 7-11
All these greedy people make me yearn for a heaven
Money gods - giving pods of liberation
Selling off my time to earn a weak vacation
I thank the music spirits for bringin’ portals to my pain
While corporate mongrels peddle pain for they gain
Without the other side would we conspire for a being?
Either way we’re breeding ignorance and eating evil’s seeding
I pray for karma ‘cause hell might need some feeding
Treepy clouds a rollin’ I integrate my mind
With the beauty of the planet that we’re strippin’ to the rind
I travel planes - planets like sound waves of thunder
I observe - and I wonder - “Does unity exist?”
I asked the Martian once - his answer made me pissed
I felt dissed - he put away my fist
I guess I’ll realize there’s little one can do
To save - some ‘people change’ - And join the penny people’s crew
I must have said enough - ‘cause it feels like I’m through
