Story Behind The Song

Was young and hopeful then disillusioned by reality

Song Description

About the disparity in life styles between the wealthy and the not so wealthy.

Lyrics

The aggravated distribution
Of war and hate and mind polution
Can only end with one conclusion
While millionaires are busy buying
All the things in life worth trying
All the while good people dying
In every state there is despare
And hungry people everywhere
Must try their very best to share with others
A final vote must now be cast
Forget the pressures of the past
Can we poor people make it last we're brothers

You work all day so you can eat
When night time comes get off the street
'Cause God you don't know what you'll meet with
Drinking, fighting, getting high

Don't get involved just let him lay there
And if the devil meets you face to face
To take you from the human race
Get down and beg for God's good grace to live
Children of the world decide
It's not enough to say you tried
Just give up what you've got in side to give

Could it be someone like me
Being suspected of such treachery

Could it be someone like me
Being suspected of such treachery.

Recalling all our greatest deeds
And planting marijuana seeds
Won't satisfy our natural need for peace
Love another as your own
And take that someone to your home
No one alive can stand alone forever
And if a man comes knocking at your door
Recruiting you to go to war
Remember you've got so much more to live for
They came to me here's what I said
"My favorite color is not red"
"You won't count me among your dead God bless me".

Could it be someone like me being suspected of such treachery
Could it be someone like me being suspected of such treachery
Could it be someone like me being suspected of such treachery
Could it be someone like me
Being suspected of such treachery
Of such treachery
Of such treachery
Could it be
