Dark Night Records

Lyrics

I remember marching for Jacque Fresco, Roxanne, and for a R.B.E.
Was it something people just ain’t ready for? Yeah, probably.
You could have told me it was no use, but it wasn’t stopping me.
And I put a couple of anthems together backed by some solid beats.
When something is just a noble cause, truth is - it matters not
if you have little to no support, or if you have a lot.
See, me - I wanted to bring a better future for my family.
And that’s who I fight for everyday, Chavo. You understanding me?

It seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[And all over what?]
So go take a look in the mirror. You better get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[Keep marching on!]

I hear people saying things that, to me, is understandable.
Like “stop polluting the oceans”, and “stop abusing animals”.
Compassion and empathy is what these vegans wanna teach you,
then turn around and bully, scream and shout in the faces of other people.
We might eat the same diet, but the difference is I have a heart.
I’ll still cook you a steak the way you like. I’ll even pass the salt.
Cuz no matter what you like to eat, you’re always welcome at my table.
And pray. It don’t hurt. Would you like to stay for dessert?
(A la meza!)

It seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[And all over what?]
So go take a look in the mirror. You better get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[Keep marching on!]
I said go take a look in the mirror ninja, and get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[… a warrior for …]
Cuz it seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[The choice is ours]

And to the love of my life, our son and daughter, even that stupid dog …
I’m-a do these side quests once in a while, but I’ll give you my all.
No matter where the adventure takes me, I’m always coming home.
And Baba knows you’ll be ready with hugs, and plenty of love.
No matter the current thing, nothing’s more important than familia.
So try me and homeboy you’ll see exactly where’s my loyalty.
And remember to show some gratitude when you’re all about that first amendment.
Everyday I grow, but if I said it in a verse - I meant it.

It seems like the same sad story each and everyday.
The whole world’s going to war.
(Get your priorities straight)
So go take a look in the mirror ninja, and get it straight.
Who are you a warrior for?
(Get your priorities straight)
Cuz it seems like the same sad story each and every day.
Each and every single day. Each and every single day.
And if you have somebody you love, go be their warrior.
That’s who you’re a warrior for.
(Get your priorities straight)

It seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[And all over what?]
So go take a look in the mirror. You better get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[Keep marching on!]
I said go take a look in the mirror ninja, and get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[Keep marching on!]
Cuz it seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[The choice is ours]
It seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[And all over what?]
So go take a look in the mirror. You better get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[Keep marching on!]
I said go take a look in the mirror ninja, and get it straight.
(Who are you a warrior for?)
[Keep marching on!]
Cuz it seems like the same sad story each and every day.
(The whole world going to war)
[And all over what? ]

Oh … and I’m just playing Yoshi. You know I love you.
