A Bike Ride

I sit and watch the night sky, I wonder why life flies by
I swear last night, I was just a little kid, then I blinked a little bit, turned into a wise guy
Life doesn't come with a warning, suddenly it's morning, yet another sunrise
Oh right, every dawn is a sure sign, we all die, gotta try and make more of your time
All right then, I'll get out of my head, I'll try, clearing my mind with a bike ride
I pedal and I'm heading out of my drive, two wheels and a hill's how I fly
So bye-bye, to the buildings and the high rise, yeah they're fine but not my type
Coz I like, where the grass grows thigh high, leaves a little home for the wildlife

Puff puff, shite, this was easier when I was a kid, okay right, top of the hill

As I coast, I feel luckier than most, I look around, I don't mean to boast
I live in the suburbs, where the only kind of trouble is... I dunno, I can't think of those
But we live in a bubble, treading the same path
Pavements a track and our feet are the train cars
Kids only play in the streets and the named parks
Can we go back to where we're part of nature
I dunno, but I kinda hope
As we build our homes, we can keep the trees and finer growth
Coz when I grow old, I hope my child will know
Simple things, the peace leaves in the wind will bring
And the beauty in a bird song
I dunno if we live wrong, maybe most are
Most of our space is reserved for petrol cars
Don't mean to hate, we deserve to be loners
Tryna e-scape into cyberspace
But if earth was just a nicer place, can we try again
Coz you know one day, when we have VR
They'll paint every pixel to look like where we are
But I can't even try pretend
To act like I've got answers when, I'm just a lyricist
But if I ended up as president, I'd put a tariff on environmental terrorists
Like, if your product has a plastic wrap, that's a hundred grand
Won't you come back with another plan
Mr CEO please understand, I know you're mad
But we really don't have another pla-net

Dammit
I tried to write about a bike ride
Now I gotta go for a bike ride
So bye-bye
Time to clear my mind, underneath a bright sky
And the sun shine
