7 Feathers - Nahko and Medicine For The People

I know a carpenter

I know a laborer

He is my teacher

He is my brother

I have a neighbor

He is my savior

He doesn’t waver

He’s a strong believer

I know a business man

He scrapped his business plan

While screaming, «Fuck the man!»

He gave into the land

You’re all archetypes

People that I might like to be just like

In a completely different way

And we all

We’re coming out of our caves

Coming out of our caves

Yes we all

We’re coming out of our caves

Coming out of our caves

I know a farmer

I know his vision

I know his struggle

I know his hope

I know a futurist

He is an optimist

And he knows a young waitress

And he’s trying to coax her

Out of her cave

By smiling, by winking

By saying you know it’s good

For us to talk

Ya know, it’s good to talk!

I know a father

I loved his daughter

I told him never would

I forsake her

But, I got home too late

From one of my escapades

No woman to face, just a note

That said, «Baby, I’ve sailed away

Right out of my cave

Caught a swell

Caught a wave

To another inspiring place.»

And we all

We’re coming out of our caves

Coming out of our caves

Yes we all

We’re coming out of our caves

Coming out of our caves

My friend the bureaucrat

He just accepts all that

Which I cannot accept

Such frustration that I wept

For my friend the taxman

He is my father and

He tallies numbers all day

Yes, he knows his numbers you could say

He taxes income, I asked him

How come?

You know I work hard for every penny…

Don’t you think I deserve it all?

Oh the law, the law, the law son…

There are flaws in the law

But, in the end I just answer to God

Boy, I’m just doing my job!

My friend the astronomer

She is a stargazer

I swear they talk to her

Boy, I wish I knew

What they were saying

While I was layin' in her bed

With her chest to my head…

Were our intentions misread?

So I just said it

I said, Baby, I’m a nobody

I ain’t got no money!

Just this ambition to tell the people

We are equal, so c’mon, baby

Come out of your cave!

Catch a swell

Catch a wave

To another inspiring place

And we all

We’re coming out of our caves

Coming out of our caves

Yes we all

We’re coming out of our caves

Coming out of our caves
