Plaedo - Rainbows In Oil Spills lyrics

Now I don't wanna go on a d**h trip I wanna go on a life journey It's a beautiful truth, yet I worry, like my neighbors Yet when someone asks us how were doing in the morning we say fine But that's sort of a lie, it's more complex There is stress, problems, we all got em So I'm stomping through the swamplands of the soul I'm searching for rainbows in oil spills And I feel afraid, in pain and awake And I wanna laugh, because why does life have To be so hard So I'm asking god, because the predators pain of hunger Was the prays, pain of d**h, and we all need food So what you gonna do, chew Money is too important i'm tired of being poor I got a right to bear arms, i wear my heart on my sleeve I've marched in the streets, made hand sign for peace Next to protestors beat up by police I've prayed to a Buddha, made in a sweat shop I guess we suffer so a sad, song can sound good So I love the pain, I'm grateful Because after pain comes breakthrough Breakthrough well let me take you To the belly of the beast Live in the system where daily I ask you this question Do you fight me, run from me, or try to become me The beast is real, it is a machine That feeds off souls It is in high schools, army recruiting The street corner shooting, over your shoulder It is those disturbing urges Your empty envy lust and greed It is your failure, it is your addiction and it is shape shifting It will make you ignore your children And with your partner, it is your aggression When we get too self defensive, burning bridges building fences You don't need nobody as long as you got money But what you gonna do when the money's all gone Really makes you think about how you treat your family And those other people, your neighbors, strangers When you all hear the warnings Of global warming, political turmoil The stakes is high, stuck in a traffic jam Was a man with a sign that read Another day, another dollar Searching for joy, sometimes you find sorrow So we take a deep breath and pray we get it right tomorrow Now I don't wanna sing lullabies at the graveyard Of childhood dreams They got comfy chairs there tv's with big screens But the revolution won't be televised It will be in the lives we live When we stop giving pain to the ones we love When we participate in the world we live in Within natures rhythms We go to work, love our job Come home smiling ready to play And the kids don't know abut the stress we endure They only know were only hear for la, la, love Cuz after the last War has been fought None have won We will see all have lost I'll cross my roads Stack my stones Draw my line in the sand and just beyond There is a place Where love is the answer to every question I will meet you there The end of the rainbow, the pot of gold But until then my friend Another day another dollar Searching for joy, sometimes you find sorrow So we take a deep breath and pray we get it right Tomorrow Now i stay up late and meditate At twilight i write So if in the morning you ask me How am i doing Well i'm late for work But afterwords we can share the verse About our loves Mine is my family About our beliefs Mine is peace About our dreams Mine is to be a fresh mc So this right here is the song I sing Another day, another dollar Searching for joy, sometimes ya find sorrow So we take a deep breath and pray we get it right Tomorrow
