Verse 1
Earth is the rest of the galaxy knows it.
Full of complainers.
The
Being chased down by the haves and turned
into a whole bunch of bullshit.
Complaint is nothing more than a notion
to be filed and forgotten.
Problem is most of these people here have no

in their living rooms and live with them
like furniture you can't sit on.

Like ashes in an undumped tray.
just sitting there waiting to
to be a most human journey,
Em
Dm
a well -worn path taken by all
Em
Dm
at once and for none to see,
Em

so these people take for granted their
luxuries and spoilers

Everyone seems to know
Complaining is nothing more than a notion to

be fouled and forgotten.
Problem is, most of these people
here have no cabinets.
Singing a song and dance of circumstance,
making some put on pro -black pants and do
they dance at the minstrel show.

A boulder by the shore

Dm
100 a week in the bank or
50 a day on whores
Smells to me of morals at war
A battle of bad options and
naive commitments
To intangible goalposts swaying in the wind
A sword fight between
procrastination and indecision
Makes up many a workday afternoon here
On the new plantation,
Planet
Earth, 2002
To sign a free world jail suits
for hire over here
Swimming oceans of your own stressed out sweat
Em
in a pool made of mistaken throwings away
America means being a slave

to calories and salaries
Em
Dm
Piling like cancerous mountains of vanilla ice cream
Em
Dm
cones with black face sprinkles
The first of the next thousand years,
Em
Dm
a new legal testimony for a new day
A badge in a black city,
it seems like the brothers best watch their back
Complaint is nothing more than a notion,
to be filed away
Problem is, most of these
people have no cabinets
And fear the unknown is a common
man's way of life here
Where I'm from we breathe
to break down the norm
And survive to be known as the clear sunshine
that follows thunder and storms
Rather than living on our knees
Where I'm from, we feel,
if our calling is such that we're tricked by fantasy, it's okay
Dm
it's born in my heart and grows to rule my soul.
Dm
Dm
This is a land fit to be fertilized by the inherent
Dm
my happiness and fulfillment found in the stuff made of
someone else's spoiled
Therefore fear most often takes
the form of dancing

Complaint is really nothing more than a notion,
