DJ East 137 - American Roulette lyrics

Forgetting the past is like danger Like taking sweets from a stranger Understanding the reasons is never appeasing We behave like strangers From another dimension It's important to mention Didn't care for it then And its barley the law that maintains the pretention We've seen the pot boil Too many times on one soil One would think we were a threat To the national reserve of fossil fuel oil It's just a matter of time Can't even call it a surprise Temperatures on the climb And we're looking an unnecessary up rise Have to remain focused, it's choice that decides I know it's hard but for a second be strong for the youngens and dry your eyes It's like lost in time, when intolerance pulls up behind Could go wrong if you let it, be smart so the outcome won't be a surprise Lost in translation Is the idea that we're one in this nation It's more like a gated community confused about unity looking from our station When the floor seems to drop You got to know that's not where it stops Helpless too many times It's time for a change new year ball just dropped We live in an uptight nation Yet the world is too small for "hateration" But It's the dish of the day Frequency suggest times up on moderation seems murky in the days ahead Dealing with tunnel vision that won't break bread This all should have been a dream Till that dream starts to follow like the walking dead Have to remain focused, it's choice that decides I know it's hard but for a second be strong for the youngens and dry your eyes It's like lost in time, when intolerance pulls up behind Could go wrong if you let it, be smart so the outcome won't be a surprise said it in Emergency Some took it as a false alarm Go back to one-twelve And remember that you got to plan further than an arm Richard Pryor joked about it Not funny now but you had to understand American Roulette of the land If you're something like us they need to see both hands Dallas broke the rule Follow the blame as the nation digs for it Have to refocus pain If it's eye for an eye, then no one can see through it Still, sound the alarm Everyone matters what's there to understand Dreaming of an alternate land Where the lines disappear for all who walk the land Have to remain focused, it's choice that decides I know it's hard but for a second be strong for the youngens and dry your eyes It's like lost in time, when intolerance pulls up behind Could go wrong if you let it, be smart so the outcome won't be a surprise
