i know a carpenter
i know a laborer
he is my teacher
he is my brother
i have a neighbor
he is my saviour
he doesn't waver
he's a strong believer
i know a business man
he scrapped his business plan
while screamin 'Fuck the man',
he gave into the land
the are 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.
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 sayin you know it's good
for us to talk
yeah, 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 saidm 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.
my friend the bureaucrat
he just acceps all that
which i cannot accept
such frustration that i wept
for m friend the taxman
he is my father an he
tallies numbers all day
yes, he knows his numbers
you could say!
he taxes income! iask 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 the talk to her
boy, i wish i knew
what the 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.
