Sandpeople - Grain Of Sand lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm just one grain of sand Upon tainted land And this subdivision's reached a point I will not stand for any more And many more need to focus I'm a drop the water but we make the ocean I'm open to spoken solutions But movement is not Limited to those in power using Abusive dispositions of people And I'm a prime example of trying to open a mind When its missing a handle [Verse 2] Trials and scandals The most vile of vandals Vying for land owned cause there's only a handful Uncle Sams and Sambo's Tanks, tankers, and Rambos Slaves, bankers, and ammo AIDS, beggars, and castles Virginia tobacco, banana republicans Guillotines and gallows and capitol punishment Is it new world order? maybe new wave opulance I'm just one grain of sand out of seven billion occupants [Chorus] This is for my people survivin' on food stamps Kids just enlisted arrivin' at boot camp It goes out to all the single mothers on welfare And the 40 million Americans who can't afford health care [x2] [Verse 3] Time keeps on movin' on There gots to be a balance to this earth that we've been placed upon I'm lookin' to my self for answers Lost in the confusion Is it part of these thoughts In this life we keep abusing? Why do we do things That hold no true valor No more knights in shining armor To scale the dragon's tower All we do is whine That the grapes have gone sour You have no self control Yet you wish to gain power? [Verse 4] Now theres a war outside my window And a war inside my head Theres probably bugs inside my crib Recording everything I've said There's a social code of conduct That's just hanging by a thread And theres a boogeyman in office Worse than anything that's under my bed I bled red, white, and blue for two decades Where the truth decays Just check my point of view essay And when innocent d**h is mentioned It don't even catch attention now But next election this dyslexic Texan's out [Chorus] This is for my people survivin' on food stamps Kids just enlisted arrivin at boot camp It goes out to all the single mothers on welfare And the 40 million Americans who can't afford health care This is for my people survivin' on food stamps Kids just enlisted arrivin' at boot camp The list goes on, but it's too long to finish So let's give a round of applause to big business [Verse 5] Unless I'm mistaken it wasn't our father who art in heaven Connectin' Iraq to hijacked planes on 9/11 Put me in a Naval brig if I can't get my facts straight Stand me on a box wrap my wrists in black tape Wire tap me if I'm wrong about the war on d** Ask the president about it and the moron shrugs He tried to shine like a diamond But deep beneath the surface Just another grain of sand with a man-made purpose [Verse 6] We have the service with a plan I turn the land into a desert With every measure that i have You feel the sand trap One grain plus the weight of a light thought I might drop A couple of drips of miracle For the time lost So here it goes Off Not the track Tracks are what are forged by the sand Individuals when we lay it down so thickly Every glimpse we take of the sand bags Holding back the flood Had to start with one... grain... of sand
