Lyrics

TALL ORDER BLUES
Verse 1

Today i declare my independence
Today i step over the line
And now i'm part of the resistance
No longer part of the decline.

Today We have a choice
We can go on living like this, and all We've got
Will surely be destroyed
Or We could open our eyes, metamorphosize
Turn it around, and Let Our Love Abound
The choice is your's and mine.

Chorus

Do u ever wonder?
Ponder this mystery?
Stare off in the distance,
To see what u can see?
Take a look inside u
Let go your fear and enmity.
Do u ever wonder,
How good it could Be?

Verse 2

u see, the problem is this
people making money off the way things are,
like the way things is
but if they hurt Us to serve themselves,
In time they bear the brunt of the lies they tell
u see, We're all one body
with 6 billion cells

so i propose sweeping reform
Where scandal and greed are no longer the norm
and i know, i'm only one voice in the storm
Its gonna take all of Us to steer the ship back to shore,
for sure...

Chorus

Bridge

All i can do is sing about it
Try to inspire u to think more about it
If We converged and Our spirits merge
We would find ourselves right on the verge of Love,
An All-Encompassing Love

Verse 3

can We rise above, Our petty differences?
can We lower Our defences?
and neighbors, can they mend fences?
cuz' all this separation is completely senseless

Chorus

Do u ever wonder?.....
