Too much to ask

A refreshing plunge

a drink of platable water

a deep inspiration on a warm summer day

a safe stroll in the middle of the road community

a neighbor who in times of need will not turn away

I ain't no politiciam

I am a citizen

And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds

community protection

rehibilitation

police that serve without legitimate right to maim

global aareness

ecological guilt

cultural and environmental awakening

I ain't no optimist

I try to be a realist

and I think that we are living too far out of bounds

is it too much to ask?

Could it be the world is shrinking?

I can see the walls closing in

no one can take much for granted anymore

remote control

three cars for every family

corruption at the expense of the simple majority

a violent crash

a plunder of the third world

any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy

I ain't no blind supporter

I'm a conscious citizen

and I know that we are living too far out of bounds

is it too much to ask?

can we keep the earth from sinking?

I can see the walls closing in

No one can take much for granted anymore

(you better not take it for granted anymore)

I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
