《Hoofprints In The Sand》歌词

[00:00:00] I've seen a monkey evolve into a man

[00:00:03] I've seen a man devolve into a monkey

[00:00:05] I've seen a junkie redeem himself with help

[00:00:08] I've seen a wealthy man melt into the snow

[00:00:09] And blow his credit on a decongestant

[00:00:11] The dyslexics breathe easy

[00:00:13] The people in the top tax bracket just keep looking for freebies

[00:00:15] Thumbing their noses at those in need of handouts

[00:00:18] I'm talkin' panhandlers with secondhand clothes living hand to mouth

[00:00:21] Camping out on Capitol Hill

[00:00:23] The fat cats are still insisting reparations be a jagged little pill

[00:00:26] Today there's free vaccinations at the walk-in clinic

[00:00:29] If you're lucky you won't just be a guinea pig

[00:00:32] Call me a cynic

[00:00:32] I find it interesting how certain epidemics spread

[00:00:35] More specifically – where they don't and who isn't affected

[00:00:37] Yeah I'm infected with a curious nature

[00:00:39] The welcome mat said "God bless this home

[00:00:42] " not "God damn thy neighbor"

[00:00:43] They can repeat history but can't recycle paper

[00:00:45] They don't see the forest or the trees just skyscrapers

[00:00:48] Towels of Babel in a town full of cattle

[00:00:50] When I question brand loyalty the crowd is bedazzled

[00:00:53] But I'll never be hoodwinked I'm mindful of the footprints

[00:00:56] The shape of the hoof the way the path in the wood splits

[00:00:59] The author of the book the origin of the crucifix

[00:01:01] The waitress looking for tips and the

[00:01:03] Place where the cook spits

[00:01:04] This is where I was when the bomb dropped

[00:01:06] Hiding from the uninvited onslaught

[00:01:08] I've seen people who don't believe in sleep count sheep

[00:01:11] With calculators that double as alarm clocks

[00:01:14] From Noah's Ark all the way to Rosa Parks

[00:01:17] To black folk pushing white agendas

[00:01:19] Inside of an office with flow charts

[00:01:20] Technology ain't shit we feed off the fruit

[00:01:22] When I stuff leaves of absence in my briefcase follow suit

[00:01:25] Spill the liquid from your double fisted escapade

[00:01:28] Kill kids with the drunken misfits in your Escalade

[00:01:30] It's gruel for the food fight and foreign aid

[00:01:33] Bream ‘em down and build ‘

[00:01:35] Em back up with what you throw away

[00:01:37] Administering band aids on amputated limbs

[00:01:39] Kissing ‘em with air raids and your lips gave ‘em infections

[00:01:41] Too many closed doors led to back drafts

[00:01:43] Now the spring edition of fashion catalogues feature gasmasks

[00:01:47] How becoming on these lanky models

[00:01:49] They can't look truth in the mirror without a pair of safety goggles

[00:01:52] Hold the bobble head insert the feeding tube

[00:01:54] Even if they stop breathing make sure they keep eating food

[00:01:58] Do the Schiavo

[00:01:59] Mouth opened wide like a perverse psycho circus side show

[00:02:02] Forgive me not my patterns stay impartial to apologies

[00:02:05] Despite a polite side of mine that says "I'm so sorry"

[00:02:08] Adding flame infinitum for your eternal fuel tank

[00:02:10] My higher power doesn't need to be thanked

[00:02:13] Thanks anyway that's from him to me to you

[00:02:16] I don't mind being the middle man

[00:02:17] Someday I might need one too

[00:02:21] I'm at the fire

[00:02:23] Where are you

[00:02:25] I'm at the fire

[00:02:27] Where the hell are you

[00:02:29] I've seen a man devolve into a monkey

[00:02:32] I've seen a monkey evolve into a man

[00:02:34] I've seen it all upside down in-between inside out

[00:02:37] It's neither here nor there hoofprints in the sand

[00:02:40] I've fallen head first into the pit of my stomach

[00:02:43] Taught to trust my gut got no trust in the gutless

[00:02:46] Save some hope for the hopeless but I won't show it

[00:02:49] Shoot my load in an opus now it's an open casket

[00:02:51] Going to Hades in a hand basket

[00:02:53] Holding onto a dream but lately we can't grasp it

[00:02:55] There's been too much murder and not enough martyr

[00:02:58] Why is it no one else wants to impress Jodie Foster

[00:03:02] I'm at the fire

[00:03:03] Where are you

[00:03:04] I'm at the fire

[00:03:05] Where are you

[00:03:07] I'm at the fire

[00:03:08] Where are you

[00:03:09] Where are you

[00:03:10] Where are you Where are you

[00:03:19] You can't have revolution without evolution huh

[00:03:20] You can't have evolution without velution huh

[00:03:23] You can't have velution without elution huh

[00:03:27] You can't have elution without lution huh

[00:03:30] You can't have lution without ution huh

[00:03:33] You can't have ution without tion huh

[00:03:37] You can't have tion without ion huh

[00:03:41] You can't have ion without on huh

[00:03:45] Seriously I know that you pray when the chips are down

[00:03:48] But act different when there are atheists around

[00:03:50] Have suspicions that make you think you'll drown

[00:03:52] All alone in the middle of a crowd

[00:03:55] I'd be a liar if I said I never had to beg

[00:03:57] Doubled over with my knees bent touching my head

[00:03:59] Stuck in a bed dealing with all of these evil visions

[00:04:02] Running from the dead in a fetal position

[00:04:04] Needing assistance from a nurse

[00:04:05] She said "Tell me where it hurts"

[00:04:07] These words are gonna make my belly burst

[00:04:09] So I mentally revert to all the enemies I've cursed

[00:04:12] Running through my memories in reverse

[00:04:13] I said bring that beat back man bring that beat back

[00:04:17] A flash ain't enough time for me to recap

[00:04:19] I'm a bastard sometimes don't think I don't see that

[00:04:21] Laughing at the dumb blind the deaf to the knee slaps

[00:04:23] Cracking punch lines for the sake of some green stacks

[00:04:25] Passion for the rhyme can be cheapened by feedback

[00:04:28] I shut my eyes and proceed to go dream catch

[00:04:30] But a troubled mind can't seem to fall asleep fast

[00:04:33] I cut my ties like the way that a fiend acts

[00:04:35] Go into overdrive and get caught in a speed trap
