[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
