Ize of the World
I think I know what you mean? but watch what you say
'Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling like following light
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
You're sad but you smile, it's not in your eyes
Your eyeballs won't change, it's the muscles around your eyes
An egg to fertilize, a pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize, a life to scrutinize
A child to criticize, young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize, generations to desensitize
Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
How disappointed would D. I. D. I. P. P. be
To see such power in our hands all wasted on greed?
Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live
As free and detached as boats to the dock?
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
Night after night, you turn out the light
You don't fall asleep right away "are we, are we done?"
A desk to organize, a product to advertise
A market to monopolize, movie stars to idolize
Leaders to scandalize, enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize, fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize, cities to vapori
'Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling like following light
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
You're sad but you smile, it's not in your eyes
Your eyeballs won't change, it's the muscles around your eyes
An egg to fertilize, a pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize, a life to scrutinize
A child to criticize, young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize, generations to desensitize
Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
How disappointed would D. I. D. I. P. P. be
To see such power in our hands all wasted on greed?
Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live
As free and detached as boats to the dock?
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
Night after night, you turn out the light
You don't fall asleep right away "are we, are we done?"
A desk to organize, a product to advertise
A market to monopolize, movie stars to idolize
Leaders to scandalize, enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize, fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize, cities to vapori
