We all wanna eat the cake,
But nobody wants to die,
Nobody wants to jump,
Cause no one knows how high.

We all wanna go both ways,
But nobody can decide,
We all want the real McCoy,
But the furthest we seem to get is the Four by Five.

We all want a little love,
But a little love is in short supply,
We’re forever beating around the bush,
While the garden’s getting drought dry.

We all need a little grease,
Be it for the wheel or for the hand,
We swallow the bitter pill,
Though for what reason we never understand

I probably wouldn’t wager my freedom,
For people basing life offa TV shows,
Folks are living life by the needle,
Is it just me, or is that just the way it goes?
Heaven knows…

Franklyn…

Penny for my thoughts get your wallets out,
Plenty people posing all they want is clout,
There’s danger, disaster and there’s a lot of doubt,
Blowing cali just to cope it’s got us cotton-mouthed,
So many questions unanswered man only heaven knows,
How much time that I’ve wasted and how much bread I’ve blown,
How many tears I’ve shed, prayers I’ve said for my friends on road,
It was December cold,
All this stress I hold,
But I see the bigger picture so I’m keeping focused,
I’ve been chasing these figures but it’s just freedom tokens,
Look how this wicked system got my people hopeless,
I want that whip without the roof me while there’s people homeless,
Gotta starve the distractions and try and feed the focus,
I’m about that action not a peaceful protest,
The more I reflect on our mortality,
The more I accept this is all vanity.

No one knows what they want,
But everybody knows just what they don’t,
Everyone says they will,
But we all know that they won’t.

Gluttony killed the cat,
We all know a cat who got the cream,
While felines are getting fat,
The mice are doing all the work, getting twice as lean.

We all want to know the truth,
But most of us live a lie,
Bitten off more than we can chew
It’s getting hard to deny.

We all wanna tie the knot,
Til we get a case of the cold feet,
We all say we’ll take the shot,
Til we’ve got the gun in hand, and we’re in the heat.

Heaven knows…
Kids are out there facing their demons,
Never had the chance for dream to grow,
People getting locked up for treason,
When all they wanna see is the truth exposed,
Heaven knows…
