Take a little dope and walk out in the air
The stars are all connected to the brain
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground
Her pleasure comes falling down like rain
Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly
Oh, now I'm really in control

But it don't really happen that way at all
Don't happen that way at all.

You sign your own name and I sign mine
They're both the same, but we still get separate rooms
You can cover up your guts, but when you cover up your nuts
You're admitting that there must be something wrong
Press any button, and milk and honey flows
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall

[repeat chorus]

You hold the gun and I hold the wound
And we stand looking in each other's eyes
Both think we know what's right, both know we know what's wrong
We tell ourselves so many, many, many lies
We're not pawns in any game, (we're) not tools of bigger men
There's only one who can really move us all

[repeat chorus]
