| [00:38.14] |
More and more there is this animal |
| [00:43.02] |
Looking out through my eyes |
| [00:47.96] |
At all the traffic on the road to nowhere |
| [00:52.51] |
At all the shiny stuff around to buy |
| [00:57.46] |
At all the wires in the air |
| [01:02.56] |
At all the people shopping |
| [01:04.91] |
For the same blank stare |
| [01:07.80] |
At america the drastic |
| [01:09.93] |
That isolated geographic |
| [01:12.05] |
That's become infested with millionaires |
| [01:17.62] |
When you grow up surrounded |
| [01:21.41] |
By willful ignorance |
| [01:25.03] |
You have to believe |
| [01:26.57] |
Mercy has its own country |
| [01:30.67] |
And that it's round and borderless |
| [01:34.39] |
And then you have to grow wings |
| [01:38.92] |
And rise above it all |
| [01:46.18] |
Like there |
| [01:47.58] |
Where that hawk is circling |
| [01:53.62] |
Above that strip mall |
| [02:18.81] |
More and more there is this animal |
| [02:23.73] |
Looking out through my eyes |
| [02:28.40] |
Seeing that animals only take from this world |
| [02:33.40] |
What they need to survive |
| [02:38.59] |
But she is prowling through all the religions of men |
| [02:43.35] |
Seeing that time and time and time again |
| [02:48.44] |
Their gods have made them |
| [02:50.09] |
Special and above |
| [02:54.37] |
Nature's law |
| [02:55.83] |
And the respect thereof |
| [02:58.41] |
And I think when you grow up surrounded |
| [03:03.39] |
By willful ignorance |
| [03:06.98] |
You have to believe that mercy has its own country |
| [03:13.14] |
And that it's round and borderless |
| [03:16.98] |
And then you just grow wings |
| [03:21.58] |
And rise above it all |
| [03:28.65] |
Like there where that hawk is circling |
| [03:36.61] |
Above that strip mall |
| [04:01.96] |
Ask any eco-system |
| [04:06.99] |
Harm here is harm there |
| [04:09.78] |
And there and there |
| [04:12.11] |
And aggression begets aggression |
| [04:14.79] |
It's a very simple lesson |
| [04:17.09] |
That long preceded any king of heaven |
| [04:22.02] |
And there's this brutal imperial power |
| [04:27.18] |
That my passport says I represent |
| [04:32.14] |
But it will never represent where my heart lives |
| [04:36.91] |
Only vaguely where it went |
| [04:42.28] |
Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded |
| [04:47.24] |
By willful ignorance |
| [04:51.00] |
You learn that mercy has its own country |
| [04:57.29] |
And that it's round and borderless |
| [05:01.11] |
And then you just grow wings |
| [05:05.42] |
And rise above it all |
| [05:13.31] |
Like there |
| [05:15.15] |
Where that hawk is circling |
| [05:20.44] |
Above that strip mall |
