Livin It Up

(album: The Phoenix - 2011)

They say that Ima dreamer, I ain't the only one.
Just everybody else is locked up or on the run.
On the heroin the cocaine or the rum. Tryin to cope through the madness and growin numb.
In a 9 to 5 trying to make another dime. Too stressed out to read in between the lines.
Flipsyde magnifies lies 9 times. And if you still can't see then yo ass blind.
They say a little love, is all we really need. But its hard watching little kids shoot and bleed.
And Martin Luther King said love your enemies. But love seems to be the last thing they're giving me.
So all you need is us. And all we need is you.
Let's make the world over. Just how we wanted to.
And it'll be what we dream so let's dream big.
The futures right now. The times starts here.

WE LIVIN' IT UP TODAY. YEAH, DON'T BRING US DOWN. WE GOT TODAY, TO BRING THOSE GOOD TIMES BACK AROUND.
FEEL THOSE GOOD WINDS BLOW. AWAY, AWAY. FEEL THOSE GOOD WINDS BLOW. AWAY, AWAY. FEEL THOSE GOOD WINDS BLOW.

Can you see my future? Tell me Gypsy woman what does it say?
Is it love? Maybe more? I don't care I'll just let it go.
And it comes and it goes and it leaves but we know, say we know we gotta keep on trying.
And we fall and we rise with a strength in our eyes cause its the only way to keep on flying.

Fly away, I'm gone start that fire.
Just blow away. I'm gone start that fire right now.

WE LIVIN' IT UP TODAY. YEAH, DON'T BRING US DOWN.
WE GOT TODAY, TO BRING THOSE GOOD TIMES BACK AROUND.
FEEL THOSE GOOD WINDS BLOW. AWAY, AWAY.
FEEL THOSE GOOD WINDS BLOW. AWAY, AWAY.
FEEL THOSE GOOD WINDS BLOW.
