dustin thomas - the great i lyrics

Loading...

one year ago, i was in chicago
c0ke and amphetamines were the only home i’d known
and a jazz record and whisky now soothe my weary soul
the only way i feel control is to lose control, so i drink some more and lose control
yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah

fed up and wasted with these jail-cell exaltations
being born into this time, the society of lies
as these tyrants stand with bullets and hidden genocides
i know the truth, it don’t comfort you
but what you gonna do when they come for you?

can someone please stand? while we can still stand?
stand stand stand
stand stand stand

my destination was the police station
i had written out a sign that said, “justice is alive”
and we have come to speak for freedom
and we have come to do what’s right
and now you threaten use with our very lives?
why do the hungry have to sacrifice?
while the richest fill their appet-tes?
well i guess my brother bill was right, the revolution won’t be televised

well every little girl has a song, sing loud
and every little boy has a dream, seek it out
some men are wicked, but some are wonderful
and each one is the same
as they teach you in each different way
as they teach you in each different way

say “i’m not ashamed of the things i am”
i cut my ties with the things i dread
i look into the fire and the fire i am
as i listen to the water and the great i am

some things have changed, on the islands here
i pledge my demons in the pull of the sand
and i sat in the back banyon while my momma said
“the only way to free you pain is to feel your pain”
so don’t be ashamed go free your pain go feel your pain

and my destination was the county station
i had written out a sign that said, “the island is alive”
and to you who drill and build factories on the land where we reside
what you take from earth it takes from you
you’re not prepared for what it takes from you
and with these gardens full of pesticides
you’ve made a prison out of paradise

d-mn

can someone please stand? while we can still stand?
stand stand stand
well every little girl has a song, sing loud
and every little boy has a dream, go seek it out
so i sat with uncle abel and uncle moses at kauai, they said
“the laws of men, they don’t cover you
follow the sun and moon and your family as you search for truth”

so i’m not ashamed of the things i am
i cut my ties with the things i dread
i look into the fire and the fire i am
as i listen to the water and the great i …
i’m not ashamed of the things i am
i cut my ties with the things i dread
i look into the fire and the fire i am
as i listen to the water and the great i am
the great i am
the great i am
the great i am
the great i am
