Something to Live For

about

A parent's advice

lyrics

You’ll never be the president; never be that one percent that owns everything
You won’t trade with inside men, you won’t cave and you won’t bend the rules for them
They won’t trust you with the things that make or break the corporate kings
They’ll take all that they can find - through law and lie, tax and tithe...

I don’t mean to break your spirit – I just want to break your fall
Don’t get caught up in their schemes
Sifting through the ashes of the white man’s dream

Burn the flag if you need something to keep you warm
‘Cuz you’ve got something to live for.
Shoot yourself in the foot to avoid the war

Buying low selling high, backroom deals made on the sly
Up and down upon a whim –always theirs to lose or win
As the markets crash and burn - the poor and weak will feed the furnace
Underneath the war machine through mind control, blind and cold

I don’t mean to break your spirit –I’ll spirit you away
Don’t let them make you pick up the pieces of the games that they play

Burn the flag if you need something to keep you warm
‘Cuz you’ve got something to live for.
Shoot yourself in the foot to avoid the war
‘Cuz you’ve got something to live for.
Even old men on the side of the road drinking wine at nine in the morning
Got something to live for.
Don’t ever doubt or think that you live without
Something to live for…

To those that think they pull the strings and got their hands in everything
To those who think there is no choice – afraid to speak with their own voice
When the rich man’s son is on the front lines – then I’ll think about sending mine
Forgive me but I love my son more than I love America

I don’t mean to be no traitor
I just want to make you see
You don’t have to give up your freedoms
Just to be free
