Al Pacino - Selling 1996 lyrics

[Zacharie Hurd][Verse 1] I was born, generation 96 Where computer bugs are fixed And everything is yours with bu*ton and a click Where everyone's demanding And you can wage wars with computer keyboards Where children run wild Religion's out of style Faded blue jeans plus Swagger is how we paint the new scene And you aren't any different if you don't walk persistent And learn to lead the crowd Hate, it isn't something that you're born with It's something that you're taught We were taught to hate a nation We were taught to hate a lot Trust, this is much bigger than me It's much bigger than we This is much bigger than U.S It's bigger than Nike shoes And rocking some Taylor Chucks It's bigger than nightly news And bigger than Donald Duck Yup, Something that can't be touched It's a little bit of hope, a little of trust Rocking your first show and seeing the hands up It's a mother first child A baby's first smile It's the purity of man without living in denial Your future, present, and past It's the moment that you're breathing The moment you're living now [Zacharie Hurd] [Verse 2] Now look around, everywhere that you go Broken people on the street Broken down roads where the towns are gentrified d**h rates are high, which leads to a broken soul But take a second slow down, breath the air around Stop feeling sorrow "Let's replace the liquor stores with a [children's] playground" But hey "If you never start to day you'll never finish tomorrow," Any day now you can learn to be creative Or you can learn to stay down Learn to say a prayer while rocking faded hand me downs "But if you really love the people you won't put your hands down," m**ms, Christians, and Jews, "Baha'u'llah, Budda, God," We're just trying to get by It's more than codeine and smoking nicotine It's learning to be a teacher and educating these teens Your art is a paint brush you've been painting this scene Cause if you only love yourself, have you really learn to live? Or are you only just alive?
