Positive State of Mind

from Dragon's Blood by One Eight Seven

/

lyrics

Out in the city, out in the streets, we live and we die fighting for our needs
You gotta push back, gotta stand your ground, or dead in the gutter that’s where you’ll be found
Everybody’s lookin to rise above the rest. But nobody thinks about what it takes
Steppin on your brother to pass the next test. Killing off each other just to be the best

We gotta take a stand
Gotta help our fellow man
We gotta stick together
Gotta work to make things better

We don’t want your hate we don’t want your lies
What we all need is a positive state of mind
We don’t want a fate where everybody dies
What we need is a positive state of mind

We run into battle, we follow like sheep. We all die for nothing while the nobles sleep
All that remains of our legacy is an empire built on the blood of the weak
Everyone’s a killer, everyone’s a thief. Its take take take, no one ever gives
Nobody cares, nobody thinks. Everybody watches while the vessel sinks

We gotta take a stand
Gotta help our fellow man
We gotta stick together
Gotta work to make things better
