Blues Traveler - Onslaught Lyrics
Music: bobby sheehan & john popperLyrics: john popperLies, well theyre o.k.More elaborate every dayTruth, well its here tooWhat can you make it do for you?Greed, its just a driveDo what you can to stay alivePeace, its just a dreamSo rock and roll and kick and screamNow wont you tell me if you like what youve just heard?And if you think the point Im driving at absurdWell theres no need to tell me how or tell me whyBut I need to know the reason not to tryCause if you look around you might just feel like meAnd you might notice no one was ever really freeAnd maybe, just maybe for now thats how its supposed to beCould be so far weve only earned the right to barely seeThe poison has infected youHave no fear Im infected tooWar, they come and goNo telling where the wind will blowPain was always thereSad reminder that you careHate, the price you payFor thinking you got the only wayNow wont you tell me if you like what youve just heard?And if you think the point Im driving at absurdWell theres no need to tell me how or tell me whyBut I need to know the reason not to tryCause if you look around you might just feel like meAnd you might notice no one was ever really freeAnd maybe, just maybe for now thats how its supposed to beCould be so far weve only earned the right to barely seeBarely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, lets see...For your parents ellis islandWhat had they gone through?And if you descend from the mayflowerWell they were running tooThey were running from englandWho were warring with franceWho would conquer spainGiven half of a chanceBut it was the muslimsWho had gotten there firstWhen there wasnt the bloodshedThen there was the thirstAnd a hate for the christiansThe infiltrators of romeYou know that once mighty empireWho made africa homeThe poor, noble egyptiansOh the hardships they bravedRemembering the good timesWith judea enslavedAnd the israelite nationThe very children of godKilling palestines childrenAnd Im finding it oddThe earth, a piece of fruitDont blame the maggots when they lootLife just a game we playTry to live just one more daySpace, our final hopeThrow the drowning man a ropeThe choice is for us to sayCompletely change or fade away.Now wont you tell me if you like what youve just heard?And if you think the point Im driving at absurdWell theres no need to tell me how or tell me whyBut I need to know the reason not to tryCause if you look around you might just feel like meAnd you might notice noone was ever really freeAnd maybe, just maybe for now thats how its supposed to beCould be so far weve only earned the right to barely seeI really couldnt say for sureLike everyone else I knowIm just looking for the cure
