lyrics
What I’m about to say is a lesson perhaps//
We’re consumerists and now we gotta to pay the check//
It’s apathy, lethargy, instant gratification//
It’s like a disease that spreads through the nation//
We need a new foundation, that is based upon truth//
That's instrumental to the youth, abandon all congregations//
And so my time is spent, one hundred percent//
On being cement for the building blocks of civilization//
I love life right, sometimes it’s hard though//
I was questioning 'why's', but that’s some time ago//
I was eleven or twelve, going to school every day//
And now I’m striving for ends so get out the way//
But then I met this young fellow, he said that’s so hollow//
And now I feel the same way as back in the day//
I was probably twelve, the roadsigns I misread//
So I packed my stuff and went straight ahead//
Straight ahead now//
Where do we go now//
I went straight ahead, smashed into the wall//
Fighting for betterment, now people can call on me//
People can call on me, can I call on you//
The promises they make are long overdue//
Let’s go straight ahead now, straight ahead//
Straight ahead now, straight ahead//
Let’s go straight ahead now, straight ahead//
Straight ahead now, now, now//
They say the generation now is stuck on the surface//
I’ll speak for myself, I’m living with purpose//
I’m breaking patterns or changing ‘em at least//
I’m praising the angle and slaying the beast//
I go against the grain like a salmon on course//
Swim upstream from the mouth lay eggs at the source//
Though you need some sleep, some prayers and nutrion//
Creating paradise is just a matter of volition//
I met an old man when I was visiting a friend//
I told him it’s the world I don’t understand//
Why people do this, and people do that//
He said you need to know this in order to comprehend//
“Soon the present-day order is rolled up”, he said//
“And a new one will be spread out in its stead”//
You gotta see for yourself, don’t ever get misled//
You gotta grab all your courage and go straight ahead//
Straight ahead now//
Where do we go now//
I went straight ahead, smashed into the wall//
Fighting for betterment, now people can call on me//
People can call on me, can I call on you//
The promises they make are long overdue//
Let’s go straight ahead now, straight ahead//
Straight ahead now, straight ahead//
Let’s go straight ahead now, straight ahead//
Straight ahead now, now, now//
