A Choice

We’ve all got a voice
We are all one soul
Get out there and knock them all dead
Or just let it go

If you spend your whole lifetime fighting
When will you find time to live?
Greed has a pull, an immeasurable toll
Be sure to find something to give

We just get one heart
I could fall to my knees
Don’t trip on anyone else
And you can do as you please

My heart is a ticking time thing
What doesn’t blow up but just stops
No amount of complaining
Will change when life punches my clock

We’vе all got a choice
Please makе it with love
There is only earth below
Only skies above

Unlike Dr. King, I had a bad dream
Which culminated in a desperate scene
Born-rich parasite who has no empathy
And I'm just some chump who's got no property

They made all the rules, cast aside all the votes
But we’ve slipped the leash they once had ‘round our throats
When people aren't given a chance to just be
It's death to the king or a martyr of me

We lined them all up and we mowed them all down
Their last cigarettes gently drift to the ground
Among us human but we've formed a machine
A Voltron that's vanquished its last enemy

The shots will ring out, a vast silence proceeds
I see the tears in your eyes from the hell that you've seen

Maybe all things that fall slowly rise up again
Please dear, don't forget there’s a garden to tend
