Heavy Rains

Let me connect the dots in your record shops

Life's here one minute and the next it's not, so

If you're low and you're moving slow just

Yell "Yallo!" man I'm letting you know

Everything in this world is connected one way or another

Although well hid under cover

By who? We don't know

Why? We're not sure but we feel like our feelings are real

And we really wanna trust our emotions, they all that we have

We just got promoted, we oughta be glad

But we're not 'cause there's something that gnaws in the back

Of our mind that could cause a collapse of our spine

And when we block it out it doubles the pain

So we... double the dosage again and again

Pretty soon we off track like a runaway train

Try to run from the fact, we all one in the same

And the pain that we cause is the cause of our pain

And it's strange and we lost to the laws of the game

Called cause and effect, who the boss, who the slave

Who to pay, who to hate, who to fear (who's to blame)

They tell me that Europe is floodied by heavy rains

But we won't stop to think or stop our cars

They tell me that Europe is floodied by immigrants

But we won't stop the trade or stop the wars

They tell me that Europe is dying overweight

But we won't change our diet or change our lives

And I tell you that children are crying over it

But to them nor us, we won't stop lying

Shit, I don't really know where to begin

It's not like I'm on the outside looking in

I'm right here in it, right between, get it?

I'm too close to even see, too deep in it

I gotta take a step back to get the whole picture

While we use and abuse but wonder why we're addicted

You think to free 'cause the of the land you on

But no man is an island and stands alone

The very moment you think you're independent

Your evil acts coming back with a vengeance

'Cause your wealth is based upon the next man

Who probably can't even pay his own rent and

Have to work for a couple of dimes

In your factory so he can build up your empire and

Everything goes around 360

If you can't see come out here with me

The pain that we cause is the cause of our pain

And it's strange and we lost to the laws of the game

Called cause and effect, who the boss, who the slave

Who to pray in which God who's the plague (who's to blame)

They tell me that Europe is floodied by heavy rains

But we won't stop the thing to but stop our cause

They tell me that Europe is floodied by immigrants

But we won't stop the trade or stop the wars

My boy drink 'cause he alone but he alone 'cause he drink

And when someone come along, cupid miss 'cause he's limpin'

Away from the obvious, outsiders see

but in a way we all followers choose not to heed

The warning signs, blinking all the time

Thinking I've seen the big picture, I know the big trick to skip the pitfall

Slip through the net, I'm sick of it all but I bet I regret

Not pushing my way through fightin' and tryin'

I'll step on some toes, try to live like I'm dying

But some say the karma come back

So we facing the stab in the back 'cause we so quick replacing

Friends with our frenemies, who's left defending me

When tables turning, I'm stuck in a dead-end street

No one I know and I know that fo' sure

But now it's so late and there's nowhere to go

The pain that we cause is the cause of our pain

It's strange and we lost to the laws of the game

Called cause and effect, who to force, who to play

Who's the force, who's afraid, who's the prey (who's to blame)

They tell me that Europe is floodied by heavy rains

But we won't stop to think or stop our cars

They tell me that Europe is floodied by heavy rains

But we won't stop the trade or stop the wars

They tell me that Europe is dying overweight

But we won't change our diet or change our lives

And I tell you that children are crying over it

But to them nor us, we won't stop lying
