your in an isolated sun without a glimse of hope
your mind is long gone and you've run out of smoke
your brain feels like a jellyfish in the ocean of your mind
you try to seize the day if you could only crawl out of bed
so what u gunna do when the sun wont shine
what u gunna do when the words dont rhyme
one runs one hides one throws a little fit
one like a coward takes a knife to his wrist
but another brushes away his strife
jah come to him with a new approach to life
he can laugh he can sing he can make his life a dream
no matter how oppressed he can always be free
shes got her hands around your neck like a noose ready to squeeze
you think your standing tall but your really on your knees
then one day it comes like somehow you knew it would
loves a fatal game where evil always triumphs over good
what u gunna do when your soulmate shys
what u gunna do when the devil crys
one dips one trips one cashes in his chips
one poor fool swan dives off a cliff
but another smiles in the golden sunlight
lets the honey rays turn his dark soul bright
cuz he can ride he can glide
he can burn and stay inside
they can pressure every bone
but they can never ever kill your pride
you take a look around the room at these friends most dear
as a tear slowly drops into your glass of beer
you laugh at your future and cringe at your past
subconciously hoping this day will be your last
and when you try to tell them just exactly how you feel
your tongue is so filled with discomfort and cold hard steel
each new day brings a different set of eyes
you must crawl upon some reason because down far lies
so what you gunna do when the musics through
what you gunna do when truths not true
one sighs one cries one submits to his demise
one man puts a bullet right between his eyes
but another, legs can break out of night
hits the bubble gum and feels quite alright
cuz he can hum as he strums a little tune on the guitar
you can drive a thousand miles and be exactly right where you are More from Long Beach Dub Allstars
