Things, Pts. 1 & 2 - Ephemerals

Baby, I’ve been thinking lately

What you been saying about starting a family

How we’re gonna teach 'em

When nobody’s even preaching 'bout right and wrong?

There’s hate on television, we’re hooked on terrorism

Nobody’s strong

There’s crime in the schools, cops don’t play by the rules

And that ain’t right

Ask them that it’s cruel, just taking 'em for a fool

Feels like day at night

Baby, I’ve been thinking lately

What you been saying about starting a family

Stuck in endless war, not about what it’s for

How can it be that way?

Slaves through the market, everybody is a target

Of the CIA

Gotta pay for education, pay for medication

And the seas just rise

Fashion’s just a sin, when they’re dying to get in

We see ourselves through another’s eyes

Baby, I’ve been thinking lately

What you been saying about starting a family
