Lyrics
Chorus
Laid back, knowing that when I throw my stress away
life ain't even bad, stop, let it marinate
cuz what I'm trying to say is I know there's a better way
so everyday I'm trying to make it to Heaven's Gate
V1
Life is a breeze, now picture yourself relaxing on the beach
sipping tea, sitting beneath the shade while waves soak your feet
it just seems incredibly hard because you stress over worldly things
but if you focus on your needs and forget the rest, you'll be at ease
but so many would rather live instead with new cars a massive debt
a 50 inch with 200 channels, yet they're still living check to check
got 20 pairs of shoes but you've run out of food and you've still gotta pay your rent
next month you'll do it all over again, the companies love it, investors win
just throw it away, you can but you won't, you'd rather remain i the newest of clothes
the price that you pay is measured in time, you've worked your whole life, so why are you broke?
I know this state of mind cuz several times I've worked a 9 to 5
so yeah, I realize sometimes we're bored and want an escape, that's fine
so turn off the cable, take a walk or go the park, read poetry
or learn to draw or play a guitar, most of these things are free or cheap
and maybe you'll finally be at peace, but if you really just can't relate
then calm your mind, rewind this verse a few times and let it marinate
Chorus
V2
Sometimes I dream of moving away and buying a thousand acres of property
inviting my friends, then building a city that's based on true equality
where everyone works together as teams, and health care and education are free
and everyone's guaranteed a place to sleep and food for their families to eat
but if you want to have finer things, you can work for a couple of days a week
securing our streets, or it can be in schools, farms or factories
and once expenses are met, profits are invested in the community
and then the cycle's complete, becoming a self sufficient economy
which means developing industries and using renewable energies
instead of our enemies, we'll spend our free time searching for inner peace
i probably should've told you this but I'm a socialist and that's why I believe
a nation's wealth should be used to help its people and serve their needs
now some might say it's a foolish dream, but this is the way that it used to be
when families banded together and started new villages working in unity
I'd rather try and see than be a slave to somebody else's greed
and this, we can achieve if only enough are willing to walk with me
Chorus
V3
I used to watch you from a distance, the most captivating of women
beautiful smile, well spoken and a magnificent figure
used to love hearing you talk, though I'd get nervous whenever you'd call
couldn't believe you'd hang with me, and yeah, i'd stare when I'd see you walk
you always smiled whenever you saw me, always playful, never judged me
always treated me like your equal when it was obvious you were above me
you taught me to care for others, then helped me become a man
so my plan was to get rich, start a business and buy some land
then i finally would've been good enough to ask you for your hand
i was such a fool, fresh out of high school, i was too young to understand
that you already loved me, tried your best to save my soul
but i was too caught up doing shows, and couldn't get rid of my worldly goals
so i never told you that i loved you, and in time we grew apart
it broke my heart whenever you found somebody else to play my part
but your daughter needed a father and you deserved to be a bride
so I just wanted to thank you Dawn, you changed my life and opened my eyes
Chorus
