[Hook]
Oh, we’ve got a long way to go (oh oh)
And there’s no going back to the live we lived, the life we used to know
We got a long way to go, oh
I’ve given everything, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left to lose
[Verse 1]
We’ve come a long way from dark days of the past
Invented electricity get the weather forecast
Trains planes and cars so we can get around fast
Inflicted by plagues now we got medicine for days
From killing the gays to putting pride first page
Printing press to internet the message gets out
If you’re new to it youtube or google it
We mapped the surface land and sea but it isn’t enough
Got astrophysicists tryna to class what’s above
Laws of space and time divine designs placed in our palms
Water from a tap food in our lap all year long
Got what we need you’d think we are the bomb
That the birds and bees and people all get along
Live a life in luxury give hugs and keep calm
But for all our greatness our mistakes are commonplace
Big obstacles cast dark shadows on our grace
[Hook]
Oh, we’ve got a long way to go (oh oh)
And there’s no going back to the live we lived, the life we used to know
We got a long way to go, oh
I’ve given everything, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left to lose
[Verse2]
I’m proud of all the progress but it’s selfish as sh*t
Cuz everything in verse one is some first world sh*t
Just harvesting resources til Earth’s forfeit
Got a trash island and its enormous
Need a mask to breathe in Asia so morbid
Wars for oil how can you ignore this
My blood is boiling i need a metamorphosis
Students in college can’t afford the courses
Pay back loans half of their lives while the bankers profit
Just saw the price of one man room and i wanted the throw a fit
12 years of education vacate not knowing sh*t
Teachers nurses and the working class get disrespect
Speechless of course because they keep us hanging by a thread
Oceans are polluted so is the land
The presidents are dirty businessmen what you expect
Not sure if long way to go or end of the road
[Hook]
Oh, we’ve got a long way to go (oh oh)
And there’s no going back to the live we lived, the life we used to know
We got a long way to go, oh
I’ve given everything, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left to lose
[Outro]
So whether in science or in God we trust
We need to work it out or we’ll crumble to dust
So much noise pollution that discussion is tough
Hate and fear mongering I’m longing for trust
The systems subdivisions make our rhythms disrupt
How many George Floyd's died before we stood up
Covid-19 showed a lot of true colors
The planet needs to heal half of its in the gutter
Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself the world is run by pedophiles
