    Story Behind the Song
    an extremely political song. it sounded really preachy when i wrote it so i got some friends, including ace, to help metranslate it into spanish. it took me a while to be able to sing it. ace says i still sound like a white guy singing spanish, in that it's very "proper" spanish, but that's alright. the meaning isn't lost because of my lack of spanish speech.

    Lyrics
    english lyrics(i can't find the translation. grrrrrr)
    verse 1:
    the time has come to search for inspiration.
    but the world is losing all that once was sacred.
    we waste our precious time defining what we perceive as "your's and mine"...

    chorus:
    ...and the truth is just slipping away

    verse 2:
    far away in a time when we were children,
    we were raised to hold dear this competition.
    and with our foolish pride
    our brothers and sisters are pushed aside...

    chorus
    bridge:
    in the senate, seats are simply filled by liars
    that profit from our blood, sweat, and tears.
    they legislate to curb natural desire...

    chorus

    bridge 2:
    it's not about attaining material things.
    it's being alive and experiencing.
    it's easy to be herded like cattle these days.
    but there's not much to graze on.
    no free range to play out our years.

    verse 3:
    one day we'll all see behind the curtain.
    and laugh at everything we thought we knew as certain.
    so have yourself a ball
    we're only humans after all...

    chorus
    end
