My weapon of choice
Some kind of wagon from some other 'hood
Are you free of fear today
When you lie down to sleep do you kind of float away
Most of my crimes are of optimism
40 thousand volts of recognition
They tried to strip me of dignity
40 thousand volts of recognition
They tried to strip me of dignity
But I still have tenacity
These are the words I didn't invent
Only an attempt to say what I meant
Only an attempt to say what I meant
A means to an end
Are you going into the desert
You're out of control of your fate
There are no warriors without a war
So get ahead before it's too late

You're out of control of your fate
There are no warriors without a war
So get ahead before it's too late
Lay down your spear
Let go your fear
Let go your fear
Far becomes near
Oh Lord
This is life (hey!)
This is life (hey!)
This is our thunder
This is what I'm focused on

This is my head on straight
This is the harness
This is the bait
This is me
I'm flying again


This is the harness
This is the bait
This is me

I'm flying again
This is the key
This is the door
Imagine the view from the basement floor
This is the door
Imagine the view from the basement floor
(Hey!)

Now you're going into the desert
You're out of control of your fate

Are you a slave in a chain of command

Now you're going into the desert



Are you a slave in a chain of command
Serving up another man's head
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)

This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)

This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
This is (ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)

When you lie down to sleep
Do you kind of float away
(This is a plate, this is a cup, this is a story, this is a story I didn't make up)
Do you kind of float away

(This is a plate, this is a cup, this is a story, this is a story I didn't make up)
(This is a plate, this is a cup, this is a story I didn't make up)
This is the world still healing
This is man that's feeling
This is the world still turning
This is the rage still burning

This is the world still turning


This is the man not learning
This is life
This is life
