Lyrics:

'ya know one day the indigenous people of the

Earth are gonna reclaim whats righfully

Theres.'

'really? uh oh!'



Lose your mind misplace your mind

Forgot you even had a mind

cause someone told you its impossible

To change your mind

A friend of mine made it to twenty-five

We had a celebration 'man Im glad that youre alive'

Im happy to see my man youre beatin the odds

And for this on this day we give thanks to the gods

cause everyone deserves a shot except you only get one

I hope its not through the head my son.

cause life is short when youre afraid to die.

Life is hard when youre afraid to cry.

But when I feel alone I sing myself a song

Because wherever I lay a groove is my home.



(chorus)

But can you see me in the desert?

Of course you can!

Can you see me on the mountain?

Of course you can!

Can you see me in the ocean?

Of course you can!

Im just splishin and splashin

And jumpin in the sand!

(repeat)



But he remembered memories of walkin

Through the puddles

Sayin 'gee dad, am I the one whos wanted by

The federal government doesnt want me

To go to school

I ask too many questions

And I dont play by their rules.

In school they tried to tall me

That a rock is not alive

But I have seen a volcano growin up and die

In school they tried to tell me

That a tree it couldnt feel

But I have felt a tree and it was bleeding for real

In school they tried to tell

Me animals couldnt talk

But they can understand it when a dog starts to bark

In school they tried to tell me

Man doesnt have a soul

'whet happened to his' I say 'cause mine is

Still whole!'



(chorus)



(bridge)

'can you see me? '

'can you see me? '



The reoccuring dream of lifes imprisonment

The reoccuring scream of a world and its residents

The reoccuring theme of a mind full of finger prints

The reoccuring dream of a knife and a president

Well would you like to look at madonnas book on sex?

Or would you rather alex haleys book on malcolm x?

Their fuckin with ice t but they dont even care if

Eric claptons singin I shot the sherriff!

But how many more books on this subject can I read

And how many more frustrations must I try to ease

End how many more days of this bad air can I breathe

And how many more of my friends must just die and leave



But you cant diffuse the ticking time bomb

You cant refuse the time it has come

You cant erase our people from the nation

Ill take a life before they call us 'the lost generation'



(chorus)



Can you see me in africa?

Of course you can!

Can you see me in asia?

Of course you can!

Can you see me in australia?

Of course you can!

Aotearoa? western samoa? eskimoa?

Can you see me in the white house?

No you cant!

Can you see me on the radio?

Hell no!

Can you see me with the police?

In handcuffs?

Splishin,splashin,jumpin in the sand.
