Lyrics
[verse1]
if only for one night, i can have it all and some back
if only for one night, i can have what i once had
a life in which i never had to wish, never had to miss
cuz everything came together like a braided twist
a night, maybe just a day...whatever it may take
i'll take it and hold onto it, to be sure it won't break
a night of bliss, yeah, that would be something great
cuz i'm living in a world and a night which i hate
bin laden ain't been found, war sure's spreading around
and after all of this, george bush still never went down
that's not it though, politics, that ain't the only problem
cuz there's tons of other shit and believe we got them
[verse2]
i wish for just one night, i wouldn't have to worry
about getting to work late, forget being in a hurry
why do this, a 9 to 5, how do we keep up?
i don't need money, shit i'm good w/ cheap love
economics? i guess it all goes back to politickin,
right back to those assholes you callin politicians
what choice do i have? i got to listen, object?
if i did, the government would take more money from my check
you bastards always take taxes, break our backs and
tell us that we really don't need to know the facts, man
we've had amendments, you following uncle sam?
cuz what good is dignity, if you take away what i am
[verse3]
why not for one night, let us, the people decide
so you people we don't talk to can now see why...
...we act in a way we do and disobey the rules
cuz of the facts and the day that we knew
why...but the truth is, we don't, so go figure
why meddle the small ones, when you got ones bigger
like money to you, but no concern w/ us
we've got golden minds too, yall let it turn to rust
yeah i'm younger, but i've got strong opinions
but you just shut me out when it ain't even the ninth inning
we're supposed to be the future of this country, right?
so give us the chance we deserve for just one night
you owe us that much, for using us as your crutch
and jumping over our voices like they do in double dutch
so now let's switch places, so you can see our ways and
be able to take our money when you see the homeless faces
if only for one night, i wish for just one night
why not for just one night, you don't put up this damn fight
