And If We Could, We'd Say - Ephemerals

Saxophone until 0:44

Organ until 1:03

And if we could wed say the future’s in your hands

So hold on to your I-phone

Leave the city and find your own way home

You ain’t got to flip no burgers

Push shelves further

And be a coffee server

You aunt got to answer no calls

Man the stalls or get broken balls

Creators leave the city

And leave all that shitty to city creepers

Rushing on those pollutes streets

Running in pops under our feet

We looked at the natural world and built nothing in its image

Are you still looking up at those concrete squares and glass towers

Hoping one day they will blossom like flowers

Like flowers in a hippies hair

Creative people how much longer can you stare

Creative people

How much longer can you stare?

Tell me you’re not tired of

Not tired of moving to the latest green neighborhood

Only to find this new place to be at

Is cool enough for rich folks to put a luxury flat

Where you hang your hat

Move out the city

Move off of dry land altogether now be a float

Bring your emails and flip flops on your boat

Where the pigs won’t bother you when you smoke

Leave the city

I’m not saying be a lone

Just give your mind time to think and roam

Creator’s wireless communication has been invented

You don’t feel like you need to be standing next to the person who’s telling you

What to draw how to film when to play

You’ll still have a boss though

I’m afraid I can’t make that go a way

But you can ignore them for one more day if you could leave the city

Kick aside your nine to five

Live your dream by the river side

Leave the city

Leave the death destruction and corruption

You deserve better than being robbed in the confusion

Forced to give the man back the money you sold to earn

Creative people now it’s our turn

Cause we were born not invented

Alive not printed

Aloud not prevented

So leave the city
