Waiting For Aquarius
Well, I’m new to the planet but you know I’ve seen it all before
You done murdered your god, got her body underneath the floor.
Treat your lady of justice just like a hoar.
and ain’t nobody cain’t trust nobody no more.
You call yo’ mother you tell her you doin’ well.
When just last night, you were looking at the gates to hell.
Truth or lie, to tell the truth it’s kinda hard to tell.
when those who tell the truth are in a cell.
And when the emperor’s naked and they all know, but everybody’s busy trying to buy new clothes
you need to run to the temple, get your gun, you gotta be ready for the day they come
open your eyes, turn out the lights, it’s gonna get a little quiet when we fight tonight
hold on tight, we gon’ be there soon we’re just waitin’ for the change of the moon.
Waiting for the change of the moon
My indigo child turned blue just the other day
Took him to the hospital the insurance wouldn’t pay
Nurse said boy won’t you take that child away
ain’t no tellin’ the germs we got here today
I got a pocketful of herbs and I’m ready to do some good
Lemme ease your soul with a little Jamaica Dogwood
Burn some mugwort, make your vision good
and with a little damiana, we can love each other like we should
And when the emperor’s naked and they all know, but everybody’s busy trying to buy new clothes
you need to run to the temple , get your gun, you gotta be ready for the day they come
open your eyes, turn out the lights, it’s gonna get a little quiet when we fight tonight
hold on tight, we gon’ be there soon we’re just waitin’ for the change of the moon.
Waiting for the change of the moon
Don't you know
there is a war on silence, a war on soul
a war on seeing, war on being whole
war on wisdoms, war of isms
of classism, facism, cashism
war on poverty, war on the poor
war on anybody who don't want to go to war
they want more, from those who have less,
no time to rest,
just do your best in the middle of this
madness
grab this chance to make change
from the dollars that burn
to fuel the hate that makes the wold turn
you're not concerned until it's your blood
you see upon the TV screen,
but can you cross the miles between..
those who watch and those who suffer
those above and those under
those killers and those lovers
those who are and those who are the other
those whose enemies are their brothers
get on some other
take heed, we walk in the land of greed
and while you're stealing what you think you need
the world bleeds
yes, indeed, to universal law you must concede
you ain't never flyin' till your mind is freed
so ride with me
you can be everything I'm trying to be
quietly fighting to build a new society
I and we build knowledge peace, and power, righteously
and we don't need no leaders
just people who can follow thier hearts
no we don't need no leaders
just people who can follow their hearts
And they’ll probably take over the moon in a couple of days
Make a prison colony and populate it all with slaves
Work those people from the cradle down to the grave
But the music they make will make the solar system blaze
