Beastie Boys - Resolution Time lyrics

[Verse 1] Actin like the last generation on earth You're gonna f** up a place for new birth You're cuttin the last of the forests on the planet Only a few hundred years since Columbus landed Well it's due time, that we look and pay attention As the windows who knows show the knowledge with us Cause it's the one that we prayed for, from Mother Earth I give the wisdom to folks, you know whole worth In these great times, we still neglect When they invent this land, don't give it due respect Cause the FBI and the CIA The whole federal government, the FDA Well, the system doesn't work and it must be changed And there's more people in the pen, everyday So I visualize, resolution Yo, everyday is in a state of evolution [Chorus] Evolution time [2X] Revolution time [2X] Revelation time [2X] Resolution time, resolution [Verse 2] We come a long way with the peace in the East But on the home front, they riot in the streets As it gets got hear a changin in same And this is the Millennium still felt today I hear the same stories time after time The stories of fear, through violent crimes Committed by hatredm by sentient beings Who shall loose by kindness and it's plain to see Now we don't have to stand for this oppression any longer If we stand together, there's nothin stronger We must interconnect it as though we sure have won If we want to avoid, planetary destruction So I work and I work because the hate in my mind Has a**umed the truth and I know I'll find And I visualize resolution See it all as a state of constant evolution [Chorus] [Verse 3] The world leaders were terrified of loosin their pride Their spoiled children tellin little white lies Vanishing numbers of unimaginable destruction Sure as we boast they're at their last production Threatening and challenging nature against nation Walkin down the road, of total annihilation Sproutin threats is insecure Guns are for the fightingand they're immature And it all stems from self-important beliefs Thinking that we're better than our fellow human beings So I wanna empower, and do what I can And pa** it along so it can be pa**ed again Some times I sit and I watch my mind Watchin my thoughts as they reel and wind And stop, and visualize resolution For everyday is in a state of evolution [Chorus]
