(Chorus) Isn't it good to be here, Isn't it good to be here Look around your world, you finally see so clear Isn't it good to be here Some people live their lives without a thought Some people don't realize just what they've got Lost chances, do you hear the words you say I don't think we were better off that way (Chorus) Is there something more to using all our time All these wasted moments, do they mount up to a crime Does it seem that things here could not be much worse I just need to look outside my tiny universe (Chorus) There are days I feel like putting this aside Take a look around and just enjoy the changing tide There are days I think I've figured it all out I close my eyes, throw down my arms and give a shout

caffeine, nicotine & thc wakin' up is not easy for me caffeine, nicotine & thc the "hippy speedball" is the one for me see you waitin' for the train and I think I might wanna know your name instead I'm always too damn shy in a car by myself, my jaguar beside caffeine, nicotine & thc wakin' up is not easy for me caffeine, nicotine & thc the "hippy speedball" is the one for me spot you sittin' at the coffee shop and I think I like your glasses a lot alone again I set up my pc and all the day-glo apples keep starin' at me caffeine, nicotine & thc wakin' up is not easy for me caffeine, nicotine & thc the "hippy speedball" is the one for me well this city gets rough but I know that I'm made from stronger stuff so I'll wait, and if the mood should strike you'll be the first to know and I'll say: "Hey, hey!" caffeine, nicotine & thc wakin' up is not easy for me caffeine, nicotine & thc the "hippy speedball" is the one for me but caffeine, nicotine & thc just don't do it all for me I want someone to call my love it's you if you think that it could be

The Thought (free) 04:09
I had a thought in my head how strange a thought really is and the thought was set in motion like a wave across the ocean and it moves and swells 'til it's all I can see and it all seems so easy, doesn't it? I had a thought in my head and if you had thoughts in your head you would just stop pretending 'cause you might choose to ignore it or to feel it's not your burden oh, but that is not what I intend to do and it all could be so easy if you just let it
4.
My Eyes (free) 04:01
(Chorus) My eyes and I'm over-thinking, my life and it's caught me blinking We're all making big decisions, spinning down into cult religions My life and I'm going under, the sound of your heartbeat drowns out the thunder We've gone in a new direction, breaking ahead of this old deception I've been looking to your concerns and hoped that something that I had learned Led me back into peaceful thinking instead of a shipwreck ans slowly sinking This hopeless dogma that you've been teaching and cramming your head with that nonsense teaching Maybe someday you'll come around, but me I know what I have found (Chorus) In its natural evolution, we will come to a solution And in time this selfish living, always taking and never giving Will be eclipsed by the realization of something that's higher than one man's nation Or one man's narrow philosophy, embracing the larger reality

life can get so fucked a stroke of bad luck but sometimes you just gotta keep movin' on and what took me so long? been playin' these songs over & over to kick-start my inspiration whether livin' at home or livin' out on your own it doesn't matter we all feel suffocated sometimes and we only smoke cigarettes because we wanna have control over a little of the poison we are fed that's just the way it goes sometimes when I was young I was a shotgun shooting my rhetoric at anyone I saw now I smoke cannabis and trippin', hell, I never miss 'cause it makes me question what I've been told I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser and I like to wear my darkness on my sleeve 'cause it's the pain in our own dark pasts that truly connects us all that's just the way it goes sometimes they've always said we were wrong but we just got crushed under their iron fist we always knew we were strong and we will live this way 'til our dying breath this movement's hip-to-hip, shoulder-to-shoulder just let them try and stand in our way 'cause when they fall, and they will fall we will scream this anthem at the top of our lungs and the people cry: "revolution is on it's way" that's just the way it goes sometimes
6.
Well it's taken a long time, a place I've never seen And I've got something that's on my mind, and I'm going to believe We let it breathe, we let it breathe Let it breathe Hardly happens in a lifetime for people demonstrating peace But pointless politics and endless climbs, it never ends there's no relief
