Life is a Trip

Taken away,
By the empire,
Turn did wheels
On the slave ships,
So a fire burns,
A disturbed spirit swells,
From the waves,
Of the ocean,

So we will tell these stories,
And we will sing our songs,
And we will teach them to our children,
The power of these sacred ways,
And that they always have soul,

(Taken away now, Lord take it away)

The trip begins again,
The trip it ends for others,
Why do we take this short life,
To hurt our brothers,

I know it seems,
It seems so crazy but I promise,
I promise that we'll make it through,
You keep an eye on me,
And I'll keep and eye on you,

I strike a chord to start a war,
Against the greedy bastards,
Who think that we,
Are their slaves,
And that they are royalty,
Our masters,

Because long ago, yes long ago,
They took us from one another,
We didn't have a choice,
Because right now,
I really need to hear your voice,

They don't see, no they don't see,
They don't see why I'm so angry,
No I will show you no respect,
AND I WILL SHOW YOU NO MERCY,

For what you did to my brothers and sisters,
It's time to end this cycle,
Because we owe this,
To the future,
Will somebody testify,

(Secret Backwards message)

And I'm gathered around this campfire,
With the ones I love the most,
And while we're here together,
I propose a toast,
WILL SOMEBODY TESTIFY,
That all it took,
One note,
And now they look to the sky,
They look,
For U.F.O.,

("U.F.O.")

An unidentified frequency,
Orbiting all around,
It only takes one of them,
And we've got to track it down,
But they can't stomp it out, no,
Because he looks just like the others,
He's going with the flow,
He's adjusting to the vibe,
It's only a matter of time,
What do you mean,
Before it starts to infect the people,
The humans,
The humans of planet earth it's time to leave this place behind,
You just gotta look through the peephole,
The pupil in your mind,
Oh no,
It's too late,
It's been steady dripping for centuries,
And it's opened up a flood gate,
It travels in the wind,
In the water,
In the earth,
In the fire,
The spirit to inspire,
The 5th element cannot be contained,
Long ago, we've tried to engrain,
Our algorithms could not predict,
Systems are malfunctioning,
