lyrics

(Just)
There was once a time that I believed in our government
Working so hard like the prisoner of a mothership
All day long, and no play
But that’s no way for us to spend our days
So I learned to walk the other way
haven’t looked back
No matter what your friends say
We were born to spell it out
So mother fuckers in the future learn to figure it out

(Skope)
As a good little busy bee
I didn’t see it as a prison see
Were all differently programmed
But the missing piece
Of my own damn mind
Left me incomplete
I didn’t waive a white flag or admit defeat
But they don’t fight fair so a victory
Is quite rare If you don’t know your history
And block out all the pain and misery

(Just & Skope)
Indigo
Feel the flow
Of the voice that’s inside
Let it go, in and out
First were born then we die
And I try, but the truth is a lie
From the guy in the sky
That you talk about - Blind in the eye
On your forehead,
Mad blood shed for the cause
Theres a clause in the contract
Lost in the fog
Null and void man., Lost in the fog
Head straight clogged and your lost in the fog

CHORUS
And they say, they want to teach our kids how to be leaders
But how can you lead the troops,
If your not a believer ?
and they say they want to teach our kids how to stand up and how to be leaders,
but you can’t really lead the troops, if your not a believer

(Skope)
How do you cope when your dreams are shattered ?
No hope,
it doesn’t even matter
it seems like the seams are split and the scene is shit
Why do I need to even exist?
Everything I believe is a myth
and I’ve fallen deep in the abyss
but I'm crawling out of the mist
to prove to all of you its not a bottomless pit

(Just)
Chemicals dropped from the planes that keep up stressed out
time is of the essence 2010 is in the past now
its somehow been leading to this
two years left what the Myans predicted
its kind of like looking at the hour glass
staring at the last grains of sand as the minutes pass you by
before its all just a memory
living as a mystery deep inside infinite


CHORUS
And they say, they want to teach our kids how to be leaders
But how can you lead the troops if your not a believer ?
and they say they want to teach our kids how to stand up and how to be leaders,
but you can’t really lead the troops, if your not a believer
