lyrics

In our town between the mountains
of course there's room for you.
The jails aren't all painted black.
Instead, they're shades of blue.

The cops all throw confetti
and play cap guns in pretend.
They hit your calves with taffy,
bind your wrists with rubber bands.

Mondays are the first day off
and children run the news.
Your parents never stop learning
and really love you too.

Doctors cost you nothing
and education's free.
If someone sees that you need help,
well, they roll up their sleeves.

We all get paid for nothing
but can do if we choose.
Anyone can speak their minds
but can stay quiet too.

I'm done just with dreaming.
No more feeling used.
You know where I'm going and
I hope you're coming too.

If it's not today,
when will you stay?
It's okay to be late.
You'll find your way.

While the world watches too.
