Going, my boat's leaving today
Gonna get down to the water
Gonna wash these blues away
Man this city's taken too much from me
Gonna head out to the country
Find a place where i can breathe
I've been working 9 to 5
Trying to lead a gracious life
But my hard work only ever went to keeping me in strife
Gonna take another road
Gonna find myself some soul
Gonna do my best in every way
To pay attention as i go
Cash money
Ain't got no use for you
Unless you can buy me true love
And it's funny
How many time's they've proved
That the only true fortune you can save
Is the truth
Slowly, time keeps slipping away
Leaves still change their colours
Prophets lay still in their graves
Erasing all our liberties
Gonna take this axe, apply it
Chop injustice at its knees
The fundamental laws
Of suffering and of its cause
Man they lay in being human
Everybody has their flaws
What if we could overcome
Insecurity for love ?
Fear for empathy ?
Education in place of push and shove ?
