Nature Boy

Nature Boy
He was just a kid
Nature Boy
He was a just a myth

They used to call me 'Nature Boy'
My hair was as long as a wet week
People passing
Used to say hello
When they saw me
Walking down the street
And now I'm a man
I'm so proud of the man that I've become
I'm here to show you
What Nature Boy looks like
Now that he's all grown up

When you see me walking many miles
Just to find another hill
I gotta climb
Sisyphus's boulder rolling down all the while
I'm about to
Break down
It ain't a scratch on the systematic inequity
Of our times
Otherwise known as
The spoils of war
Makes me wanna give my body to the cause
Or jump right off a bridge -
The choice isn't easy Lord

My lover said don't worry about it
But I still do
How much longer
Can we live with this violence?
I wonder don't you?

Nature Boy
He was a just a myth

They used to call me 'Golden Boy'
That's a name you don't hear
Too much these days
But for a while there I thought that
I just might be the chosen one
That I just might be the one to save you
But now I'm a man
I ain't to proud to take it back to square one
Which got me thinking that
Maybe something we can all relate to
Is the lie that we all grew up with

That's why they've been remaking Star Wars
Mike 7, 8 or 9 times
Just to convince ourselves
That we're good
Scratch the surface on the creation
Myth of our times
And I'm gon' have to hit the town
So when you see me walking
Around late at night
Spare a thought for me and my human kind
Plus, spending all day trying to put all that shit
Down in a rhyme
Drives a man to drink (Nature Boy)
No one said it was easy Lord!

My lover said don't worry about it
But I still do
How much longer
Can we live with this violence?
I wonder don't you?
