Mr Lippe - One Time For Life

Track 1 on Mind Over Matrix
Lyrics:
ONE TIME FOR LIFE (2004)
I see it in your eyes
You feel it deep inside
You know that something is wrong
And you want to make it right
You no longer want the lies
You want to be the truth
You want to bring it forward
You want to see the proof
And its through education
And its through understanding
That we must change the way we live
If were to save our planet
We know the end is coming
But man not on my watch
I cannot sit; I cannot allow this world to fall apart.
One time for life
Make this world a heaven
Find out the answers dont sit back there just guessing
One time for life
Yes we have it most waste it
Very seldom enjoy it
And very often misplace it
We cannot do this anymore (say what)
Keep closing our eyes
Global warming, greenhouse gases
As the temperature rise
I can no longer just stand by
And watch my planet die
I gotta get involved I gotta start tonight
And its by taking action
And its by making it happen
Even if it means taking the heat
Or having people laugh at me
We gotta stop acting stupid
Gotta stop acting like consumers
As long as we stay passive, we give in to the evil doers.

One time for life, make this world a heaven
Start with yourself by learning concepts and lessons
(I said) One time for life
Because knowledge is power
Information you seek it to gain the key to the tower.
Racism, sexism, two party voting system.
Religion, superstition
Professional athletes making millions.
Workers making minimum
Off shoring jobs to our enemies
Foreign investors buying our debt
As we wage war with the Iraqis.
If were to become independent
We all must produce our own energy
If we could all create our own power we could all be free
We could live our lives, all free from the grid
Free from the taxes, gas, free from the fed
One time for life, make this world a heaven.
Demand alternative energy, and disclosure on everything.
One time for life.
Our taxes pay for inventions
Yet we only see a fraction of the things weve invested.
One time for life. Live my life.
What am I supporting?
Who am I supporting?
Who am I exploiting?
To make financial gain
Who is it I cause pain?
Which people are enslaved?
Why is life so wicked when it need not be this way?
They aint gonna wanna hear a song
Theyre gonna want a sandwich
Thats how the drama goes down
When the jump off happens
One day they gonna wake up
They gonna rise up Theyre gonna want their life back
That has been stolen
