lyrics

everywhere I go
it doesn't seem to show,
that this faith I have in you
gets stronger.

strangers talk in trains
about kids injecting their veins
but what practical difference
does this make?

class culture strains
our politics and aims
destroying our imaginations
gender, class and race underlining our conviction,

to shout out with truthful expression!

i can see into your eyes and their tired
your sensual smile surrounds me
you’re in everything I know
i need to get inside your head,

feed my mind on your soul......

this is not some game
where real life feeling
gets lost in some hyped-up, hyped-up name

make democratic art
through aesthetic, aesthetic,
aesthetic and political interaction.

raised consciousness brings gain
blissful ignorance stores pain,
strengthening solidarity, hastens change.

resolve ourselves, reflect in natural, natural glory.

i can see into your eyes and their tired,
your sensual smile surrounds me
you’re in everything I know,
i need to get inside your head

feed my mind on your soul....
