a refreshing plunge

a drink of platable water

a deep inspiration on a warm summer day

a safe stroll in a middle of the road community

a neighbour who in times of need will not turn away

i ain't no politician

i am a citizen and i wonder if i'm living too far out of bounds

community protection

rehabilitation

police that serve without legitimate right to maim

global awareness

echological guilt

cultural and environmental awakening

i ain't no optimist

i try to be a realist

and i think that we are living too far out of bounds

is it too much to ask?

could it be the earth is shrinking?

i can see the walls closing in

no one can take much for granted anymore

remote control

three cars for every family

corruption at the expense of the simple majority

a violent clash

a plunder of the third world

any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy

i ain't no blind supporter

i'm a conscious citizen

and i know that we are living too far out of bounds

is it too much to ask?

can we keep the earth from sinking?

i can see the walls closing in

no one can take much for granted anymore

(you better not take it for granted anymore)

i'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
