-Which way should I go? -That depends a good deal on where you wanna get to. -I don’t care, really, where… -Then it doesn’t matter which way you go. -…so long as I get somewhere… -You’re sure to do that, if you only walk long enough. And I’ll keep it on the low, oh On the low shelf my babe, and I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby, yeah Yes, I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby, we’re running outta maybes You know many have seen how we roll into our haven Lift my foot, step up, we’re inside our garden hills We stay there and we trippin ‘til we start to get the chills No I don’t need money, mansions nor expensive cars I just wanna keep the trips and the gems in my guitars Sitting down by the tree, just my friends, my girl and me And the stars up in the sky are the diamonds we can see, yeah And I’ll keep it on the low Yes, I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby, yeah And I’ll keep it on a high, on a high Yes, I’ll keep it on a high, on a high Layin’ in the sand in the supernovas We were stuck and suddenly we ran in fear when we saw the great white chuck We ran so fast, we flew away into the stars We’ll be forever young, we’ll surf the dunes in Mars We’ll wait until it’s late when everyone’s asleep so we can get baked But the Queen’s paranoia always kept her awake Yes I’ll keep it on the low, on the low shelf my babe, And I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby And on the low shelf, my babe, And I’ll keep it on a high, on a high And I’ll keep it on a high, on a high We keep on dancing to the rhythm of Bob Marley But she just feels like she’s trippin’ balls in Cali I think we worry too much When we can’t even feel our own touch We keep on dancing to the rhythm of Bob Marley But she just feels like she’s trippin’ balls in Cali I think we worry too much When we can’t even feel our own touch We keep on dancing, keep on dancing, to the rhythm of Bob Marley And she just feels like she’s trippin’ balls in Cali Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna make it Sometimes I feel like my soul can take it But I know that I won’t take it anymore Yes, I’ll keep it on the low.

When I look around I see people paranoid by every sound Violence is everywhere in my surrounds The world is changing and turning, turning like a rolling
 stone Good and bad have been confound by those who try and die
 alone This ain’t my home No media to my eyes No more crap into my mind Sick of meds and desolation I’m done with the dumbs that try to kill my motivation What’s the point of education Or even the purpose of this whole nation To shut our brains out bringing penny-can desperation? This ain’t home x6 the place where I belong I sit alone, all I think about it everything that’s wrong Why can’t everyone be there to stop and stare People don’t understand that life goes on and on It all goes from what you need To what you want until it’s gone This ain’t my home Homeless kids and drug addict’ moms Overworked dads and on-the-street bums We see their smile but don’t know their past Don’t even know if they had breakfast It’s not that complex you wise old fools Put up your forces of violent tools Give freedom a voice, let hope have a chance Return to your work, return to your dance This ain’t home x6 the place where I belong

So I'll Wait 04:29
So I’ll Wait Sometimes life doesn’t render what one expects, Sometimes the right person isn’t something time respects, As I try to find love, I’m breaking every bone, Same thoughts arise, but they’re never quickly shown, A smile when I come home It’s what I’ve been craving for, Sunshine in your eyes, Deprives me, deprives me of my sight, I haven’t met you but I know you, I haven’t felt you, but I love you, And my soul will sing, So I’ll wait So I’ll wait for you, For my angel At utopia’s gate Light beams from your grin Coming from within, Our moons aren’t far apart From our shallow hearts, Feeling tingly in my inside I’ll meet you on the other side And my soul will sing So I’ll wait So I’ll wait for you, For my angel At utopia’s gate x2 Your soul won’t live alone, She raised me, When I was still unknown, You’ll find shelter under my arms As time stops with your charm, You got my soul running in circles Under the sky in bloom, .... So I’ll wait, So I’ll wait for you, For my angel…

LYRICS: You say the young they act so dumb You give them pills to make them numb Next thing you know they’re getting stoned And you punish them ‘cause you say it’s wrong, Parents fighting every night The lawyer’s looking for a bite The son decides to leave his home And they think he is living like a bum Your kid got expelled yesterday Teachers complained he won’t conform To do the things the right way It’s a new generation It’s a new revolution It’s a new generation against this constitution It’s a new generation You and me we’ll start a revolution Can’t you see we’ll find a new solution The world is upside down But we’ll find a way to turn it around They asked, What do you wanna do when you grow old? I wanna change the world I’ll climb up a rooftop, break the mold Sing my heart out the truth left untold, I wanna clean up the mess you left behind, Paint a new world in your mind Break down the system you designed Be a voice of hope for those who are blind, Don’t gain the world to lose your soul Wisdom is better than silver and gold, My words may cause some controversy But that’s what you get from honesty, Can’t you see there’s a missing piece? Or is your head still overseas? It’s a new generation It’s a new revolution It’s a new generation against this constitution It’s a new generation You and me we’ll start a revolution Can’t you see we’ll find new solution The world is up side down But we’ll find a way to turn it around "-what do you wanna do when you grow old? -I wanna change the world, break the mold, climb up new heights… - no, no, I don’t think you understand the question.. -I don’t think you understand life." The world is upside down but we’ll find a way to turn it around

Roundabout 04:35
Early in the morning there’s a knock on the door I go downstairs to see the news on the floor, It’s the president and his lovely whore, They just crashed his car into the liquor store, But I wanna know the truth Was he tying up his shoes? Did he lose his balance and break his hip Or he got distracted while he kissed her lips? You know what, forget that shit Come here and take a sit, Tell me how much you know about what’s going on, With the world outside you know, it’s almost gone, Right now you’re just a child Your mind is sweet and mild A glass of milk and a breakfast meal Yeah, seems like a pretty good deal, And when the sky comes falling down You feel like you’re gonna drown, There’s no more air for you to breathe, Why don’t you open up your eyes? Why don’t you open up your mind? See~ time is running out// You could pull the trigger or keep the bullet Make the hole bigger and break the duet, Make each other smile and hang in there a while Break life apart and live in denial, Yeah, You could be the victim waiting for a hero You could be the bomb counting down to zero, You could be the clerk working for his bread, Or the young guy dying with a bullet to his head, Married old guys looking to be single, Pretty little Doras horning up to mingle Waiting to be pleased by a him or her That will change their lives and turn around their dreams And when the sky comes falling down And you seem like you are gonna drown, There’s no more air for you to breathe, Why don’t you open up your eyes? Why don’t you open up your mind? See~ time is running out//

about

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.

"I don't much care where—" said Alice.

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

"—so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.

"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

-Lewis Carroll
