lyrics

I Parent Myself

Well you know there were times when your mummy and daddy weren’t there
And I seem to recall there were times when they didn't even care
But this history was passed on since before the times of the fall
We were cut off from nature and that’s not no that isn’t all.

So I parent myself, again
Yes we parent ourselves, in the end.

So I'm gonna do a better job than I’ve ever done before;
Yeah we’ve gotta do a better job than we’ve ever done before.

Each generation is initiated with the wisdom that’s on hand
But now we’ve got the web we don't listen anymore to the land
It is culture that teaches us to learn to give up our blood
But it’s nature that asks us to make sure that we make the cut.

So I parent myself, again
Yes we parent ourselves, in the end.

So I'm gonna do a better job than I’ve ever done before;
Yeah we’ve gotta do a better job than we’ve ever done before.

We were left alone by this stream
Having to create a new dream
While the captains of industry sailed away

Now we’re here with all our new friends
Just enough time to make amends
Got to link up and grow through the cracks in the fence

Take control of your destiny
Join your local rebel army
Change the way that we do things immediately

Hear the voice that resounds within
All of matter and all of your kin
Got to stand up and starve out that faceless machine

Whip up all of that energy
That arises endlessly
Place awareness in potentiality

Take the cut, take the cut, take cut
Make the cut, make the cut, make the cut
Take the cut, make the cut, take the cut, make the ... cut.
