THE AIR


The machine rolls into high gear again
Squeezing money from the blood of men

I feel the years, getting older
And I feel the air getting colder
And I believe it's time to make a change

What's the point of life living in the street
Reelin' in cocaine selling your bodies like meat

I feel the years, getting older
And I feel the air getting colder
And I believe it's time to make a change

Sad to say but it doesn't have to be this way
But complacency, it rules the world today
You could find a freedom that you have never known
If you put no other's head above your own

I feel the years, getting older
And I feel the air getting colder
And I believe it's time to make a change
