We Can

by Andy Bonesteel

The world we live in is just an illusion

Our heads our filled with these grand delusions:

We can run, we can fly

We can laugh, we can cry

We can try anything

Any day, anytime

We can pray to the air

every day, every night

We can cure an ailment with an ounce of hope

Or we can bring on the sickness with an ounce of dope

We can go to Las Vegas just to elope

Or cope with the fact that we all die alone

We can wander the earth like we’re all God’s clones

Or play follow the leader like we’re Satan’s drones

We could all just jump in

But then who would be who?

We could climb out of this hole

And try out something new

We can ask ourselves this

We can tell ourselves that

Or we could learn for ourselves

And just fucking relax.
