bad neighbors (of sandpeople) - grain of sand lyrics

[verse 1: ethic]
i’m just one grain of sand
upon tainted land
and this subdivision’s reached a point
i will not stand for any more
and many more need to focus
i’m a drop the water but we make the ocean
i’m open to spoken solutions
but movement is not
limited to those in power using
abusive dispositions of people
and i’m a prime example of trying to open a mind
when its missing a handle

[verse 2: mo-b]
trials and scandals
the most vile of vandals
vying for land owned cause there’s only a handful
uncle sams and sambo’s
tanks, tankers, and rambos
slaves, bankers, and ammo
aids, beggars, and castles
virginia tobacco, banana republicans
guillotines and gallows and capitol punishment
is it new world order? maybe new wave opulance
i’m just one grain of sand out of seven billion occupants

[chorus: simple]
this is for my people survivin’ on food stamps
kids just enlisted arrivin’ at boot camp
it goes out to all the single mothers on welfare
and the 40 million americans who can’t afford health care [x2]

[verse 3: jon the baptist]
time keeps on movin’ on
there gots to be a balance to this earth that we’ve been placed upon
i’m lookin’ to my self for answers
lost in the confusion
is it part of these thoughts
in this life we keep abusing?
why do we do things
that hold no true valor
no more knights in shining armor
to scale the dragon’s tower
all we do is whine
that the grapes have gone sour
you have no self control
yet you wish to gain power?

[verse 4: iame]
now theres a war outside my window
and a war inside my head
theres probably bugs inside my crib
recording everything i’ve said
there’s a social code of conduct
that’s just hanging by a thread
and theres a boogeyman in office
worse than anything that’s under my bed
i bled red, white, and blue for two decades
where the truth decays
just check my point of view essay
and when innocent death is mentioned
it don’t even catch attention now
but next election this dyslexic texan’s out

[chorus: simple]
this is for my people survivin’ on food stamps
kids just enlisted arrivin at boot camp
it goes out to all the single mothers on welfare
and the 40 million americans who can’t afford health care

this is for my people survivin’ on food stamps
kids just enlisted arrivin’ at boot camp
the list goes on, but it’s too long to finish
so let’s give a round of applause to big business

[verse 5: simple]
unless i’m mistaken it wasn’t our father who art in heaven
connectin’ iraq to hijacked planes on 9/11
put me in a naval brig if i can’t get my facts straight
stand me on a box wrap my wrists in black tape
wire tap me if i’m wrong about the war on drugs
ask the president about it and the moron shrugs
he tried to shine like a diamond
but deep beneath the surface
just another grain of sand with a man-made purpose

[verse 6: sapient]
we have the service with a plan
i turn the land into a desert
with every measure that i have
you feel the sand trap
one grain plus the weight of a light thought
i might drop
a couple of drips of miracle
for the time lost
so here it goes
off
not the track
tracks are what are forged by the sand
individuals when we lay it down so thickly
every glimpse we take of the sand bags
holding back the flood
had to start with one… grain… of sand
