Lyrics

The human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
Said the human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
I'm sick of hippies studying conspiracies on Channel U
Or doing sweet fuck all to act upon
The scam that they already knew existed
The simple and yet twisted fact the fat cats just
Don't give a damn about the likes of me and you
So what are we gonna do about it? Maybe shout it
From the rooftops to the floor drops at the market and the war stops
Making money for the corporations
I'm losing patience with the machinations of
Developed nations towards their poor relations
How many so-called liberations will it take until
We satisfy our appetite for power and we make
A new direction, a peaceful insurrection
The people casting off the masters of their old oppression
Both inner and outer, outer and inner
State and state of mind, priest and sinner
But don't ask me, yeah, cos I'm only a beginner
But I do know where the race ends so I'll let you be the winner cos
The human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
Said the human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
So now we're running to the future
Where maybe everything will be made
Clear and all our fears will disappear
Carrying so much of the past on our backs
That we wind up having panic attacks
And then we wonder why the planet reacts
Never connecting ourselves to the cause of these planetary acts
Cos we're addicted to facts
Always forgetting that the Earth was flat and that was that
You know cos knowledge is limited
Our own galaxy is massive and we're living on the outer perimeters
So just give it a minute to sink in and you'
Ll realize the lives that we're living are miniature
But don't let that diminish you, not even one bit
Because the truth is your being is as big as
It gets and even if you haven't figured it yet
Well that's okay just keep on living without any regret because
The human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
Said the human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
So what's the deal here?
Every time I feel near to another human
Being at the same time I can feel fear
As if there's something that I'm trying to conceal here
Caught in the conditioning of I don't know how many years
But the history of humanity weighs heavy on my shoulders
Systems of insanity that mould us and hold us back
From ever thinking we could change tack
And take it back to an older track
Back in the days, when our place was as part of the chain
Not a race apart but part of the game
When all life was an expression of the one and the same
Before we tried to separate and started running away
But now I'm trying to discover another way of communicating
Relegating this old mind state that we're celebrating
Start deflating this ego and let go and
Set my soul free for the next role cos
The human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
Said the human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
Said the human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
Said the human race is a race against time
Everybody running but they don't know why
