Paul Thorn - Mission Statement lyrics

I punched the clock in at 35, I thank the Lord that I'm still alive, sometimes I find it hard to believe that my hearts still beating that I'm still on my feet I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement I've been in a downward spiral for a very long, long time, I've been stepping over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime The way I see it, it ain't gonna work, I'm kissing the past goodbye I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement I got no more patience, got no more time I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line I want to change the world and I'm starting with myself A private revalation concerning everybody else We're all just lonely people we're all looking for some help Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves All it takes is kindness and a little love and care And this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission statement The tears of hungry children are falling in the dust The scraps of a rich man's table could fill their starving mouths While some they thirst for water others get drunk on wine To some their lives a prison and they're out there doing time I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement I got no more patience, I got no more time I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line I want to change the world and I'm starting with myself A private revalation concerning everybody else We're all just lonely people we're all looking for some help Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves All it takes is kindness and a little love and care And this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission statement Dick, Astley, Thorn 1998.
