Sleeping at the wheel. Sleeping in a parking lot. Sleeping at your day job. People ought to wake up. People ought to wake up. Sleeping when you go to sleep. Sleep upon awakening. Sleeping all your dreams away. People seem to forget. People seem to forget. I’m not a part of the people I’m seeing I’m not a part of the people I’m seeing I’m not a part of the people I’m seeing, I ain’t sleeping. I’m awake! I can’t fake it, I’m a part of the living, I’m a part of the living, I’m not a slave. I can shake it, not joining the slumber. I can shake it, not joining the slumber. Not joining you. Thinking that’s what’s real. Thinking that your bed is made. Think your made of steel. People seem to forget people seem to forget, people seem to forget. Thinking of forever. Think about losing things. Think you've got a deal? People aren't existing. People aren't existing.

I dont mind the speed of light. I dont mind what’s wrong or right. I don’t mind it here beneath the stars. I dont mind, the way things are. The way things are. I dont mind trying my best. I don’t mind my undeserved rest. I dont mind feather or tar. I don’t mind the way things are. The way things are. Whether its LA or Chicago. Got to go see them lights. Go go live the life. I’ll be on an airplane tomorrow with nothing to leave behind. I get my own little slice. You ain’t never see. A thing until seen France or Spain then you can start your life, until then you shouldn’t try. They say you wont know until you go and heaven will be my prize, I’ll get my own little slice. I heard about the zing zing in Beijing. I gonna hold my camera tight, it’s a gone, grey and awful sight. Whether its LA or Chicago, I got to go see them lights I got to go live my life. I dont mind them solar flares. I don’t mind just knowing you’re there. I dont mind putting for par. I dont mind the way things are.
