Spearhead - Of Course You Can lyrics
"ya know one day the indigenous people of the Earth are gonna reclaim whats righfully Theres." "really? uh oh!" Lose your mind misplace your mind Forgot you even had a mind cause someone told you its impossible To change your mind A friend of mine made it to twenty-five We had a celebration "man Im glad that youre alive" Im happy to see my man youre beatin the odds And for this on this day we give thanks to the gods cause everyone deserves a shot except you only get one I hope its not through the head my son. cause life is short when youre afraid to die. Life is hard when youre afraid to cry. But when I feel alone I sing myself a song Because wherever I lay a groove is my home. (chorus) But can you see me in the desert? Of course you can! Can you see me on the mountain? Of course you can! Can you see me in the ocean? Of course you can! Im just splishin and splashin And jumpin in the sand! (repeat) But he remembered memories of walkin Through the puddles Sayin "gee dad, am I the one whos wanted by The federal government doesnt want me To go to school I ask too many questions And I dont play by their rules. In school they tried to tall me That a rock is not alive But I have seen a volcano growin up and die In school they tried to tell me That a tree it couldnt feel But I have felt a tree and it was bleeding for real In school they tried to tell Me animals couldnt talk But they can understand it when a dog starts to bark In school they tried to tell me Man doesnt have a soul "whet happened to his" I say "cause mine is Still whole!" (chorus) (bridge) "can you see me? " "can you see me? " The reoccuring dream of lifes imprisonment The reoccuring scream of a world and its residents The reoccuring theme of a mind full of finger prints The reoccuring dream of a knife and a president Well would you like to look at madonnas book on sex? Or would you rather alex haleys book on malcolm x? Their fuckin with ice t but they dont even care if Eric claptons singin I shot the sherriff! But how many more books on this subject can I read And how many more frustrations must I try to ease End how many more days of this bad air can I breathe And how many more of my friends must just die and leave But you cant diffuse the ticking time bomb You cant refuse the time it has come You cant erase our people from the nation Ill take a life before they call us "the lost generation" (chorus) Can you see me in africa? Of course you can! Can you see me in asia? Of course you can! Can you see me in australia? Of course you can! Aotearoa? western samoa? eskimoa? Can you see me in the white house? No you cant! Can you see me on the radio? Hell no! Can you see me with the police? In handcuffs? Splishin,splashin,jumpin in the sand. |
