a refreshing plunge a drink of platable water a deep inspiration on a warm summer day a safe stroll in a middle of the road community a neighbour who in times of need will not turn away i ain't no politician i am a citizen and i wonder if i'm living too far out of bounds community protection rehabilitation police that serve without legitimate right to maim global awareness echological guilt cultural and environmental awakening i ain't no optimist i try to be a realist and i think that we are living too far out of bounds is it too much to ask? could it be the earth is shrinking? i can see the walls closing in no one can take much for granted anymore remote control three cars for every family corruption at the expense of the simple majority a violent clash a plunder of the third world any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy i ain't no blind supporter i'm a conscious citizen and i know that we are living too far out of bounds is it too much to ask? can we keep the earth from sinking? i can see the walls closing in no one can take much for granted anymore (you better not take it for granted anymore) i'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
