How many wheels must we reinvent
Until we realize we already have the cars
That can take us from where we are
To where we know we should be in our hearts
How many dollars must we spend
Until we realize we could have it all for free
How many scientists will we ignore
Before we lose our ability to breathe
The answer my friends isn't blowing in the wind
Because it died as soon as it touched the air
Billions have been spent polluting the earth
Ensuring soon that nothing at all will be able to live there
How many jobs must one person hold
Before they can pay their rent
And how many groceries do you think they can afford
Before their money's all spent
How many streets must the homeless roam
Until we realize capitalism should be the one to lose it's home
How many black lives must be murdered
Before we figure out who it is the police really protect and serve
The answer my friends isn't blowing in the wind
The answer is sitting on the fence
Deep in your heart and in the back of your mind
Waiting to be pushed into action by some common sense
