I stumble thru insanity Trying to be sane So lost in this jungle with nothing to gain In this very cruel world They keep taking from me All of my thoughts And honesty They don’t ever ask If doing is right As they get away with hurt we can’t even fight They steal our freedom Take it away With each new law They pass today For letting money And all that greed The absolute power A corrupted seed Dropping these seeds Watching them grow Into a forest with nothing to show This is our state the land of the free Its just a simple cover so we don’t really see This powerful machine now out of control Wearing us down taking its toll Living this way without a choice to make But I walk on the stones my life to take As I wait for a time A warm sunny day Where I am free as a bird in just this way Sitting on a beach in the warm white sand I am finally free in this far away land

Insanity
I stumble thru insanity Trying to be sane So lost in this jungle with nothing to gain In this very cruel world They keep taking from me All of my thoughts And honesty They don’t ever ask If doing is right As they get away with hurt we can’t even fight They steal our freedom Take it away With each new law They pass today For letting money And all that greed The absolute power A corrupted seed Dropping these seeds Watching them grow Into a forest with nothing to show This is our state the land of the free Its just a simple cover so we don’t really see This powerful machine now out of control Wearing us down taking its toll Living this way without a choice to make But I walk on the stones my life to take As I wait for a time A warm sunny day Where I am free as a bird in just this way Sitting on a beach in the warm white sand I am finally free in this far away land
