lyrics

moving through the motions
9 to 5 to 9 how can this be
first put up a sign that speaks of
time, safety and hierarchy
keep this sign aligned with eyes and
impede on their sanity
even the most stubborn too will soon fade in its vanity
then sit back and kick it while
people move in circles circles
round and round again the same
wolves that have been eating them
the signs regulating
the wolves wrote the sign
its a proven way for one to
be the shepherd herd the sheep

how i've been made a commodity
now I'm checked and I'm vexed, as i oughta be
i thought that my life was my life, as it oughta be
now I'm property, taxed and fined to think and breath
when i try breaking free i run into the words on the wall
one slip and i'll spend days behind bars, oh no
where's the ocean
where are the mountains
who rules my being
i know i do not believe in the ("greenback dollar"-Woody Guthrie)
(Greenback Dollar by Woody Guthrie)

i don't know, i know, i know
i know what i see
i don't know, i know

the way it goes
the way it goes
nobody knows
nobody knows
i stay real close
i stay real close
but i don't feel awake
i think my eyes are closed
i can't say, i don't know
i can't say; (cry)
don't know; i know
i know
i know what i see
i know what i feel
i know what i believe
i believe i breath
i can't say i know
i feel rest of it in my moments
and moving
in moments

hey bill
chill
come sit next to me on this
green ass hill
hey bill
see the sky my nigga
see the blue and blue
that dekind my nigga
hey bill
i got the goods nigga
meats and greens man
it's cool my nigga
hey bill
you're free, my man
to be, my man
so be you's, my nigga

who rules my being
i know i do not believe in the law and that's a fact
i ain't fucking with it
you all must be kidding
