sidelines, pt. 2

but we live in a corrupted system

so we think that wealth is wisdom

and you ain't gotta get a hundred years from a judge to spend your whole life in prison

see

that's a mindset that i've lived in

could have been another one of its victims

but it's time that i own up to the fact that i don't know much

that right there is a gift 'cause i ain't restricted no more

but we're all chasin' happiness

that's like chasing a pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow

it's not happenin'

and at first i found that bafflin'

but on the real though life's challenging

so how can i try and feel so positive at all times

when at times i'm battlin' something like luke skywalker and anakin

man are a chitter and chatter and talkin' the maddest ting

madder ting though

life ain't badda boom

badda bing though

can't stand still like mannequin though

call me a side man

man a ringo

still got a part to play in my role

i don't wanna hate on the government

no

but they don't represent what i hope

yeah

i hope that we don't always stay so insular

i hope that we learn to forgive anyone for any wrong that they ever did to us

i hope that we look beyond our own interests

yeah

i hope that we realise that there's life outside of the internet

wait

wait

i'm not finished yet

i hope we protect

not neglect those that get left behind and upset

and try to get up

yet it's like they're held down and muted

no sound

a secret world kept

i guess

my hopes

see

aren't realistic

so was everything before it existed

i hope i can act on the thoughts in my mind

and i don't stay sitting on the sidelines

i just been sittin' on the sidelines

may be about the time to get my mind right

i just been sittin' on the sidelines
