Mike Love - Permanent Holiday lyrics

Oh Lord, I'm on a permanent holiday I'm going outside to play I ain't gonna slave away Not for no corporate Babylon I'm never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games Oh Lord I'm taking the reins I'm breaking the chains I'm never gonna kneel, no way My prophet is Heaven sent No preacher or president can lead I astray They'll never know I'm taking Jah highway home Oh I've got my own path to follow Don't know if you'll overstand I've got my own truth to swallow And you know that if I could you know I would throw my guitar on my back, pick up the slack, and leave here tomorrow But I know that I am a pawn of Babylon I got to face the facts, embrace the axe, and cut these chains off my sorrow So I'm on a permanent holiday I'm going outside to play I ain't gonna slave away, no, not for no corporate babylon I'm never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games Ten thousand years of captivity We must eventually Open up our eyes and see They're manipulating we With so much uncertainty And so many mysteries Why are so few questioning The unnatural state of things? It's a nightmare We're living in a nightmare Everyone's living so scared They're virtually unaware Of this fear that rules their lives Occupies, consumes their minds This fear of bankruptcy Financial impotancy It's funny money, money, money It's all this digital currency, woah yeah It's all this monopoly money That keeps us from ever being free And so it seems we'll be in this prison for life 'cause if we keep buying then they'll keep selling the lie So it's up to I and I… Ohh Lord, I won't be manipulated, mind-controlled, and inundated I will seek the Revelation, make my life a celebration I will be the change I'm seeking, manifest the words I'm speaking I refuse to be imprisoned. I will make my own decisions I'm on a permanent holiday I'm going outside to play I ain't gonna slave away Not for no corporate babylon I'm never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games Oh Lord I'm taking the reins I'm breaking the chains I'm never gonna kneel, no way My prophet is Heaven sent No preacher or president can lead I astray They'll never know. I'm taking Jah highway home I'll never go astray I'm leaving the past And forwarding fast 'cause freedom is here to stay Oh Lord we got to take back the knowledge We got to take back the power We got to take back the knowledge We got to take back the power We got to take back the knowledge To take back the power Take back what they have stolen from our hearts And we got to take back the esoteric knowledge Ohh Lord for too long they've been keeping us apart Ohh yes, we got to take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don't let this be our final hour Take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don't let this be our final hour. (x7) Take back the knowledge Take back the power
