Mission Statement

I punched the clock in at 35, I thank the Lord that I’m still alive,
sometimes I find it hard to believe that my hearts still beating that I’m
still on my feet
I’m gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement
I’ve been in a downward spiral for a very long, long time, I’ve been stepping
over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime
The way I see it, it ain’t gonna work, I’m kissing the past goodbye
I’m gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement
I got no more patience, got no more time
I’m tired of following orders, sticking to the company line
I want to change the world and I’m starting with myself
A private revalation concerning everybody else
We’re all just lonely people we’re all looking for some help
Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves
All it takes is kindness and a little love and care
And this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission
statement
The tears of hungry children are falling in the dust
The scraps of a rich man’s table could fill their starving mouths
While some they thirst for water others get drunk on wine
To some their lives a prison and they’re out there doing time
I’m gonna give you, give you a mission statement
I got no more patience, I got no more time
I’m tired of following orders, sticking to the company line
I want to change the world and I’m starting with myself
A private revalation concerning everybody else
We’re all just lonely people we’re all looking for some help
Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves
All it takes is kindness and a little love and care
And this planet that we live on can be a Heaven we can share, a mission
