And I'll be here forever Or until I just die And I'll see the concrete river Like the one I can't cry And I'll search for a reason the whole worlds love to lie And I'll hope the tide is turning for my sweet baby rye And You know, And you know I swear this We'll have community one day Build a family out of strangers down the way Build a family out of strangers down the way We will learn from each other As we build something pure We'll teach each other to live Learn the meaning of secure This is the end of servitude We will learn to sweep our own floors Teach each other to love We need no less, no more We need no less, no more And You know, And you know I swear this We'll have community one day Build a family out of strangers down the way Build a family out of strangers down the way (x2)

Everyday 01:50
Everyday we bleed further and further and further away And I've given you my youth what more do you want from me Not much to say except I feel bad for the bankers and the robbers today Cause they're living in the same way as you and me They could be free, if they gave it all up including the kitchen fucking sink Everything in this world ain't always right you know And I'm sorry to say that some will work while the others will play And I know in my heart that you deserve more Working so hard everyday for such little pay oh yeah it's such a shame yeah And I know in my heart that you deserve more Just keep breathing my friends and so will I Just keep breathing till the day we die Just keep breathing my friends and so will I Just Keep breathing till the day we die

And I'm not gonna believe that we have all we need Cause if I keep living like this I'm gonna die on my knees So I spend most of my days questioning the decisions that I've made And often think of human life as one big mistake But if that's gonna change it's going to start here with me And if, If I'm gonna rid myself of shame well it's gonna take some time I'm not saying it's hopeless anymore I'm just hoping we'll help each other more I'm not ignoring the wrong that's in my face I just want to stop spitting venom back in it's place Cause it's starts here And it starts now And it's starts with you and me (x2) Cause it's more than fuck the system man It's holding out your god damn hand Cause it's not pushing each other down It's pulling each other up I'm not saying it's hopeless anymore I'm just hoping we'll help each other more I'm not ignoring the wrong that's in my life I just want to stop spitting venom back in spite Cause it's starts here And it starts now And it's starts with you and me

Pedestrian 02:52
The populations sad What they have is not so bad Walking slowly in apathy Or quick paced, quick paced and wildly Oh my life is oh so pedestrian That sometimes I feel like a victim x3 Wild conclusions and drastic accusations I'm the three fingers pointing back yeah And I'm on the verge of collapse now (woahs) Trying to remind myself of the difference between the formal and the factual Living my life somewhere between the normal and the natural (woahs)
5.
I'm sick of talking about the government The class war bullshit politics Lets take these words right off of the street and feel the love beneath our feet My daughters school is filled with lies And these four walls don't give me peace of mind Lets take these words right off of the street and feel the love beneath our feet Beneath our feet We could talk for years about all the things we hate about this city or town or we could just leave it behind (x2) Lets hike out to the ocean side Or hike along desert rocks Lets take these words right off of the street and feel the love beneath our feet Lets trudge along a mountain path to waterfalls far from trash Lets take these words right off of the street and feel the love beneath our feet Beneath our feet

You and Me 02:00
You can shop at walmart and you can tell me what you've saved You can spange all day for change so you can get a sandwich and a forty at that corporate space And it doesn't really matter to me Neither changes anything No it doesn't really matter to me Cause neither changes anything, anything It's you It's me It's us x2 So I'm going to work all day So I can buy shit that should be free With the rest of my money, I'm going to buy stuff I don't need, I don't need And it doesn't really matter to me Neither changes anything No it doesn't really matter to me Cause neither changes anything, anything It's you It's me It's us x2 We never change, We never learn a thing We never change, We never learn a thing
