lyrics

Time is the hunter and time is the cage we’ve locked ourselves in
That we don’t recognize and so we think of ourselves free
It doesn’t matter to the one who’s circumscribed
The borders of the possible, that we can’t see

All the good intentions in the World won’t do a damn thing
Cause we’re still breathing air released in 1965
We haven’t even yet felt the consequence
Of the mistakes we thought we’d left behind

If we had forever, we could make it
If we had forever, we could get there
But time is the hunter and time is the cage
Time is the hunter and time is the cage

For everyone who’s waiting for the sign that won’t ever come
To tell them now it’s right to fight against the state at last
You’ll never get permission to abstain
From the rites of passage into denial

It’s not like Civil Rights, the Labor, or the Women’s Movement
Earth won’t consider that real change always takes time
Ours ran out already long ago
We don’t fight cause we’ll win but to affirm life
In the face of evil that thinks it can cheat the living out of our birthright

If we had forever, we could make it
If we had forever, we could get there
But time is the hunter and time is the cage
Time is the hunter and time is the cage

Such a culture needs people to talk and sing and make art about the fact that a few humans are taking the lives of everyone else on Earth. Here is one contribution. What is your reaction to this crisis? Tell the world how you feel! ... more
