| [00:16.97] |
You were looking down at them, they were looking down at you |
| [00:19.61] |
You were starched and pressed, they were all disheveled |
| [00:21.89] |
They were holding hands, They were ragamuffins and they said |
| [00:26.80] |
"I know we're not fancy but we're on the same level |
| [00:30.59] |
We've got plans, big plans! We're gonna change the world |
| [00:34.52] |
All you care about is dollars, that doesn't make sense |
| [00:37.54] |
All you do is hit snooze, watch the news, buy shoes, drink booze |
| [00:41.76] |
Make money feel spent and |
| [00:43.87] |
Day after day after day, it's the same shit |
| [00:47.15] |
Day after day after day, it's the same shit |
| [00:50.64] |
Day after day after day, it's the same shit |
| [00:54.15] |
Day after day after day after day after day." |
| [01:01.30] |
Then you look at them without batting an eye and say |
| [01:04.16] |
"Hey little hippie, let your freak flag fly |
| [01:07.39] |
Why don't you go smoke a bowl in your best tie-dye? |
| [01:11.06] |
Get a tattoo of a dancing bear holding a peace sign |
| [01:14.51] |
You can talk the talk but when it comes to real change |
| [01:17.72] |
Are you and all your little friends exactly the same? |
| [01:21.19] |
You sit around in potlucks, pointing fingers, placing blame |
| [01:24.68] |
Drinking kombucha and eating tempeh and |
| [01:28.25] |
Day after day after day, it's the same shit |
| [01:31.58] |
Day after day after day, it's the same shit |
| [01:35.00] |
Day after day after day, it's the same shit |
| [01:38.67] |
Day after day after day after day after day." |
| [01:49.20] |
If you are judging them while they are judging you |
| [01:52.01] |
And you think that makes them assholes, maybe you're an asshole too |
| [01:55.42] |
Do we argue with each other until we both turn blue or |
| [01:58.80] |
Find similarities in what we like and what we do? |
| [02:02.42] |
Yeah, just because someone does not look like me |
| [02:06.10] |
Doesn't mean they are a clone or a sheep |
| [02:09.53] |
Maybe they like their job and they're living their dream |
| [02:13.04] |
And they love their friends and their family |
| [02:16.64] |
Yeah, some people thrive between nine and five |
| [02:20.07] |
And feel like they're choking if their neck's not tied |
| [02:23.55] |
And some people feel as if they're gonna die if |
| [02:27.08] |
Their seams aren't straight and their shoes not tied |
| [02:30.83] |
Some people like business, some people like numbers |
| [02:34.99] |
Some people grow organic heirloom cucumbers |
| [02:38.88] |
And only feel free with their hands in the dirt |
| [02:42.04] |
In a pair of old jeans and their favorite t-shirt |
| [02:45.81] |
Some people feel enslaved when they have a boss |
| [02:49.46] |
Some people without one feel totally lost |
| [02:53.34] |
To make this world work, it takes all different kinds |
| [02:56.51] |
We all have different tastes, different strengths, different minds |
| [03:00.30] |
So it doesn't make sense to generalize |
| [03:04.02] |
And it doesn't make sense to judge with our eyes |
| [03:07.49] |
We need more compassion, we need to be kind |
| [03:11.19] |
If you open your heart, you might like what you find |
| [03:14.93] |
Cause there are some nice bus drivers, and there's some mean bus drivers |
| [03:18.86] |
And there's some nice cops in Madison, Wisconsin |
| [03:22.30] |
And there's some nice teachers, and there's some mean teachers |
| [03:26.03] |
Just because you got a mean teacher doesn't mean all teachers suck |
| [03:30.25] |
And no one is nice all the time, no one is mean all the time |
| [03:33.44] |
Think about what someone's going through that's making them be mean to you |
| [03:36.88] |
Like maybe their pet gerbil died and they are really sad inside |
| [03:40.43] |
Or maybe they got in a fight with someone that they really liked |
| [03:44.76] |
Or maybe they are really shy, don't know how to socialize |
| [03:48.14] |
May just want to run and hide, not saying that it's justified |
| [03:51.81] |
But if we learn to empathize, the resentments will vaporize |
| [03:55.49] |
Situations metamorphize before our very eyes |
| [03:59.29] |
Then the need to stereotype will become outdated |
| [04:02.78] |
When we realize that everyone is really complicated |
| [04:06.80] |
We are all so complicated |
| [04:08.63] |
We are all so complicated |
| [04:10.20] |
I am also complicated |
| [04:12.21] |
I am also complicated |
| [04:21.54] |
I'm a black mom, a lactivist, a home-owning punk |
| [04:24.68] |
It's been over a decade since the last time I got drunk |
| [04:28.72] |
I drive a mini-van, and I've got junk in the trunk |
| [04:31.89] |
I think Danny DeVito is a total hunk |
| [04:35.57] |
I like revisiting the shit my therapist helps me remember |
| [04:39.19] |
Being friends with someone for a long time, still not knowing their gender |
| [04:42.51] |
I fight for equal rights, and I fight for inner peace |
| [04:46.05] |
And I pray to the dead for the gratitude I need |
| [04:49.66] |
I've got chickens in my backyard and a little garden plot |
| [04:53.19] |
I really hate commercials but I got a slap-chop |
| [04:56.69] |
Cause I'm a sucker for a remix, let me tell you what |
| [05:00.00] |
By the time that I am finished, you are gonna love these nuts |
| [05:04.17] |
I'm a little bit pop culture, a lot bit DIY |
| [05:07.25] |
I don't know the definition of TMI |
| [05:10.92] |
I write poems about my period, post pictures of my log |
| [05:14.54] |
If you don't like body functions, you shouldn't read my blog |
| [05:18.31] |
My husband's a musician from the mountains in France |
| [05:21.74] |
He wrote me a song, we did interpretive dance |
| [05:25.21] |
Then he knocked me up, now we have the coolest kid |
| [05:28.64] |
Yeah, hooking up with him's the smartest thing I ever did |
| [05:32.13] |
And I feel like I can fly when I'm on roller skates |
| [05:35.44] |
I get a little high when I eat dried dates |
| [05:39.28] |
I feel like I'm unloading when I'm loading up the car |
| [05:43.00] |
I feel like I'm exploding when I'm holding my guitar |
| [05:46.53] |
I don't understand what numbers have to do with success |
| [05:49.97] |
Or what sales have to do with happiness |
| [05:53.69] |
Unless they're the kind of sails that will carry me to sea |
| [05:57.05] |
Where my grandma and grandpa are waiting for me |
| [06:00.93] |
I never thought I'd make it to 25, now I'm 37 and I'm glad that I'm alive |
| [06:07.85] |
If I ever need a tour bus, I'm still gonna drive |
| [06:11.69] |
Cause I looking out the windshield as the world goes by |
| [06:15.27] |
Looking out the windshield as the world goes by |
| [06:18.85] |
Yeah, looking out the windshield as the world goes by |
| [06:23.49] |
Now I'm 37 and I'm glad that I'm alive |
| [06:26.09] |
And I like looking out the windshield as the world goes by |
