I was speeding down the highway
Speeding mighty fast
Feeling sorry for the trouble
Other people have\two thousand years waiting for the judgement day
Everybody knows it’s slowly coming our way
Everybody knows that we’re running out of time
That’s one thing nobody’s going to deny
From the day you were born up to when you were just a kid
Had some trouble leaving home
Now you find that’s a thing you never did
First you ran out of trust
Now you’re running out of reason
If you do what you must
You can buy back your freedom
The rich get richer and the poor ain’t never getting none
Even with your belly full the hunger never stops
Some kids dream about a garden with a pool
Others so depressed they want to quit school
Nobody cares about what you do or what you did
There’s plenty good others we don’t need new kids
Some just got a blessing others seem to live under a curse
Some want to get better while others only try not to get worse
Trying to breed what we killed first
Talking about those great South American birds
One man sets fire to a whole nation
Other men die trying to save our creation
Sell them bombs to destroy the cities in the land
Then we send somebody out there to rebuild them again
Ain’t it a craze when you try to compare
The way a dime is raised to how it’s spent over there
That’s the difference between the human brain and the mind
You can’t make a fortune counting nickels and dimes
The rich get richer and the poor ain’t never getting none
Even with your belly full the hunger never stops
