We are locked in this state of paralysed rage
for the powers that have come to be,
with their newspeak lies
and corporate ties,
they'll poison the sky and the sea.
Wherever you will go,
my mind will follow,
there's no shame in feeling weak,
when everything's looking so bleak.
Cop on the beat, we look to believe
that everything is in control.
No divisions of wealth,
your own mental health;
nothing is ever your fault.
Still, they come to say all this hard work will pay,
though your bedsheets are made out of lead,
so forget your disease,
get dirt on your knees,
and take this for your troubled little head.
Wherever you will go,
my mind will follow,
I have been writing these letters to say,
I hope everything's coming your way.
And it's all comin' down, like a surgical gown
replaced with a new lease of living.
Palestinian fields,
reinvented wheels,
and the churches won't lock their doors.
You see, the baby boomers, the white-men-in-suits,
they're a dying breed don't you know?
So keep saluting the sun,
the race isn't run;
I gave up worrying long ago.
Wherever you will go,
my mind will follow,
but if you're looking for a real kind of love,
stop looking to the skies above.
Wherever you will go,
you've got my heart in tow.
Now I'm sober,
all I can see
is the simplicity of you and me.
If only the whole world could be
as simple as you and me.
