You always think that you can play the fool (Play the fool)   But this is life these are real decisions   You say that none of its affecting you (Affecting you)   But beyond the self there are other reasons      Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah   It's not ego but a belief in the reasons why   Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah   It's not ego but a belief in the reasons why      We take it all so seriously   Cos It's not 'all bullshit?   We take it all so seriously      Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah   It's not ego but a belief in the reasons why   Stepping back you've got to take the higher ground yeah   It's not ego but a belief in the reasons      We must rise informed of the enemy's that face us   Put our faith in a cause that take's us   Well beyond this self-obsessed existence   For all to know and to feel the reasons why      We take it all so seriously   Cos It's not 'all bullshit?   We take it all so seriously      But you're blinded by your arrogance   Dismissing new ideas   Sure it's enough to get you through   But there's only so long that this earth can sustain us   Its time to think straight   An a-political stand of reasons   Yeah we must think straight   Cos we're throwing it all away      You wanna wait till it's all fucking up   To believe it real   There'll be nothing left that we can do   Cos there's only so long that this earth can sustain us   Its time to think straight   An a-political stand of reasons   Yeah we must think straight   And it started yesterday      It started yesterday It started yesterday   It started yesterday It started yesterday      We'll never get a second chance   To amend our evils   But it's me and you who got to choose   Cause there's only so long that this earth can sustain us   Its time to think straight   An a-political stand of reasons   Yeah we must think straight   And it started yesterday      Cos we're throwing it all away Cos we're throwing it all away   Cos we're throwing it all away Cos we're throwing it all away
