Lyrics

You're breathtaking state of indifference
Does not emanate in this instance
It's critical to be understanding
Not cynical and not condescending
A garden that's been staked and planted
Is not something you should take for granted
Maybe someday you'll understand their needs
When your own hands and knees

All that you've been given
Will not always be forgiven
The relative nature of being
Is related but not what you're seeing

Avoiding the torture of a job for dadeye
By singing the praises of ? rastafari
Wearing the colors of Africa
While you're kissing the mothers of America

? you will never be hungry
It's fucking lucky to live in this country
Might as well pack your bong and get high
Just get in back
You're along for the ride

Burning the garden of Eden
Bearing the burdens of freedom
They know your name is not really Adam
What a shame man you really had em'
What a shame man you really had em'

If you strive have fun with all expenses paid
Then your life should be funded by sponsors babe
It's a good thing your passion is fashion
Better find something to stash your cash in

There's a difference between right and wrong
It's not something I can write in song
Anyway who am I to know
What to say man I'm just a shadow

Burning the garden of Eden
Bearing the burdens of freedom
They know your name is not really Adam
What a shame man you really had em'
What a shame man you really had em'
