Lifeguard

[00:08.59] I hold my breath
[00:10.78] I hold my breath
[00:24.84] For humanity's sake
[00:26.87] For the way we hold the space
[00:29.01] For every color every race
[00:31.37] Or political taste
[00:33.59] I've my head above the water
[00:35.52] I've my arms limp at my side
[00:38.58] What a habit, what a waste
[00:39.51] To take take take
[00:41.85] Take more than you need
[00:43.85] An unconscious thing
[00:46.55] Many have been silenced
[00:48.17] But, I have come to sing
[00:51.37] La de di di di di
[01:09.64] Soon to exhale
[01:17.98] Soon to set sail
[01:25.97] There are men who cast their nets
[01:27.68] In search of purpose and respect
[01:29.64] Coming back with emptiness
[01:32.43] Forgetting all their privileges
[01:33.98] I watch them pass on the sidewalk
[01:35.96] I drink my coffee write my thoughts
[01:38.23] Check the weather check my watch
[01:40.47] Waiting for the sun to drop
[01:42.62] So I can start a fire
[01:44.96] And signal all the plain
[01:47.20] The world's about to shift again
[01:48.98] And we'll never be the same
[01:52.24] La de di di di di
[02:27.06] We oughta take things
[02:31.36] Far more personal
[02:35.71] What do we stand for
[02:39.10] And is it salvageable?
[02:43.34] La de di di di di
