Inspired

And this is why I got that enlightenment
The kind that folks don't acquire till retirement
By then they too old to appreciate the precedent
Even if I could get more votes than the president

And this is why your landlords shoutin about the rent
He's got the cost of the building hangin' over his head
So next time he comes up spitin' fire and seeing red
Remind him there's a bigger picture, he just ain't framing it yet

(I, can't fly, can't fly just yet)
(I, can't fly, can't fly just yet)

And this is why, we gotta cut down on the private jets
Burning our futures with oil, this is why we're in debt
I keep tryina remind 'em all, resources ain't infinite

And this is why, we're all just stupid schleps
Can't see our hand in front of our face, but got our clocks set
So we can watch that show tonight, watch and forget
Meanwhile the population rises, but brilliance is a constant man

And that's why I'm losin' faith in my fellow man
Cause I know the big wigs ain't no smarter than that, can't keep us out of jams
Can't keep their dicks in their pants, so they on the news and front page
What happened to the issues man

(I, can't fly, can't fly just yet)
(I, can't fly, can't fly just yet)
