Cyborg, android, d-boy, decoy, water, wisdom, tightrope, vision, insight, stronghold, heartless, ice cold, mystery, mastery, solar, battery
|
|
Some will pull the gun because they want to be stars
|
Snatching up your life into the blink of an eye
|
And if you see your cloning on a street walking by
|
Keep a running for your life cause only one will survive
|
War is in the street and it's an eye for an eye
|
Run on for your life or you can dance you can die
|
She's praying in the sand like she's the last samurai
|
It's a stick up stick up and a pick up pick up
|
Telling lies and telling lies will put your face on fire
|
Run and tell your friends to never dream, never win
|
Ghettos keep a crying out to streets full of zombies
|
Kids are killing kids and then the kids join the army
|
Rising and a waking, yes sir here comes the sun
|
March into the war and with the kick of the drum
|
The wiser simians have got the bombs and the guns
|
So you might as well keep dancing if you're not gonna run
|
|
A long long way to find the one
|
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
|
These dreams are forever
|
Oh these dreams are forever
|
And if you wanna wake the sun
|
Just keep on marching to the drums
|
These dreams are forever
|
Oh these dreams are forever
|
|
Now I'm not saying it's better to bailar (Spanish for dance)
|
You can pull the trigger or you can build you an ark
|
My words are rather kind you keep them held in contempt
|
Looking for a nine and then a droid you can tempt
|
Zombie, zombie, zombie, where do dreams come from?
|
A little bird is chirping and she's singing a song
|
She's shaking em and waking em and giving em mas
|
As the clock tick tocks and the bodies drop
|
I'm gonna lay myself so far way down right in your chops
|
Modern day example of the wolf vs flock
|
Freedom necessary and it's by any means
|
Frozen they were stolen all the kings and queens
|
Sudanese and Congolese who put the roll in the rock
|
From here to Sudan, Metropolis to Iraq
|
It's a minute to the dawn and yet the sun ain't back
|
It's still a war in all the stress and yes freaks will dance or die
|
|
A long long way to find the one
|
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
|
These dreams are forever
|
Oh these dreams are forever
|
And if you wanna wake the sun
|
Just keep on marching to the drums
|
These dreams are forever
|
Oh these dreams are forever
|
|
Angel, blossom, gunshot, dodging, dream, bright, beat, light, breathe, live, help, give, focus, trance, wake up, dance!
|
|
I'm praying for the man sitting without much time
|
May he understand the clock will never rewind
|
Wisen him and sharpen him and give him a motto
|
hate no more, said he must hate no more
|
You see the daylight comes into the kingdom
|
But the kingdom's full of ignorant men
|
Just keep rebelling away, you gotta dream it away
|
Because the weatherman on TV ain't creating the weather
|
This man wants to see another jubilation
|
And that man wants us in emancipation
|
And then there is the man who wants a stronger nation
|
You see we really got to and i think that we ought to
|
Protect the mind from degradation
|
Sow in the seeds of education
|
They run from us, are we that dangerous?
|
There's a war in all the streets and yes the freaks must dance or die!
