Good S'american (feat. Gabes Torres)

Life's short and sweet All fortune is fleeting It's hard to hold onto the feeling And easy to tune out, turn up And turn off our soft hearts We all long for peace But we're short on believing It's hard to hold onto your dreaming So easy to give up, get lost And give away our power All of the faces that we grow up to just die young What does it say about our culture? Still fighting over: "left," "right" Disrespect the dead like some vultures... Maybe get together in the next life But what's ahead of us now What's in the head lights? Are we crashing into a deer? Or can we swerve? Tires up on the curb It's all work, work Yeah, we never take a break from the verbs Just to be a minute Try it, take a little time Just to see a minute Peacefully breathe deep I can't say exactly where it's all gonna lead But I believe we are more than we seem Like when you wake from a dream And barely can even say what it means Broken, beautiful, or stuck in between? It seems Nothing is free, but the teamwork What's a green dollar mean? What's a Dream worth? We were thinking that... Life's short and sweet All fortune is fleeting It's hard to hold onto the feeling And easy to tune out, turn up And turn off our soft hearts We all long for peace But we're short on believing It's hard to hold onto your dreaming So easy to give up, get lost And give away our power So now this lady on the link wants food We all say no cuz our money's on cards The most convenient excuse... Look away avoid the pain in our hearts When it's rainy and dark In the city of Cobain and Jimi Find Nirvana with a stranger to start Just to see it in the Way we all take our place in the arc Thinkin' how the first humans found flame from a spark Made fire, cooked food, over light in the park Hunt and gather for our livelihood Now we barely know the people in our neighborhood Are we living out our days In the ways we should But it's messier than that If we end up on our backs in the dirt someday We can finally relax Life hurts, so we cry and we laugh at ourselves As we try to react to the fact that... Life's short and sweet All fortune is fleeting It's hard to hold onto the feeling And easy to tune out, turn up And turn off our soft hearts We all long for peace But we're short on believing It's hard to hold onto your dreaming So easy to give up, get lost And give away our power
