plaedo - rainbows in oil spills lyrics

now i don’t wanna go on a death trip
i wanna go on a life journey
it’s a beautiful truth, yet i worry, like my neighbors
yet when someone asks us how were doing in the morning we say fine
but that’s sort of a lie, it’s more complex
there is stress, problems, we all got em
so i’m stomping through the swamplands of the soul
i’m searching for rainbows in oil spills
and i feel afraid, in pain and awake
and i wanna laugh, because why does life have
to be so hard
so i’m asking god, because the predators pain of hunger
was the prays, pain of death, and we all need food
so what you gonna do, chew
money is too important i’m tired of being poor
i got a right to bear arms, i wear my heart on my sleeve
i’ve marched in the streets, made hand sign for peace
next to protestors beat up by police
i’ve prayed to a buddha, made in a sweat shop
i guess we suffer so a sad, song can sound good
so i love the pain, i’m grateful
because after pain comes breakthrough

breakthrough well let me take you
to the belly of the beast
live in the system where daily i ask you this question
do you fight me, run from me, or try to become me

the beast is real, it is a machine
that feeds off souls
it is in high schools, army recruiting
the street corner shooting, over your shoulder
it is those disturbing urges
your empty envy l-st and greed
it is your failure, it is your addiction and it is shape shifting
it will make you ignore your children
and with your partner, it is your aggression
when we get too self defensive, burning bridges building fences
you don’t need n0body as long as you got money
but what you gonna do when the money’s all gone
really makes you think about how you treat your family
and those other people, your neighbors, strangers
when you all hear the warnings
of global warming, political turmoil
the stakes is high, stuck in a traffic jam
was a man with a sign that read

another day, another dollar
searching for joy, sometimes you find sorrow
so we take a deep breath and pray we get it right tomorrow

now i don’t wanna sing lullabies at the graveyard
of childhood dreams
they got comfy chairs there tv’s with big screens
but the revolution won’t be televised
it will be in the lives we live
when we stop giving pain to the ones we love
when we partic-p-te in the world we live in
within natures rhythms
we go to work, love our job
come home smiling ready to play
and the kids don’t know abut the stress we endure
they only know were only hear for la, la, love
cuz after the last
war has been fought
none have won
we will see all have lost
i’ll cross my roads
stack my stones
draw my line in the sand and just beyond
there is a place
where love is the answer to every question
i will meet you there
the end of the rainbow, the pot of gold
but until then my friend

another day another dollar
searching for joy, sometimes you find sorrow
so we take a deep breath and pray we get it right
tomorrow

now i stay up late and meditate
at twilight i write
so if in the morning you ask me
how am i doing
well i’m late for work
but afterwords we can share the verse
about our loves
mine is my family
about our beliefs
mine is peace
about our dreams
mine is to be a fresh mc
so this right here is the song i sing

another day, another dollar
searching for joy, sometimes ya find sorrow
so we take a deep breath and pray we get it right
tomorrow
