Amen

Paula Cole feat. DJ Premier

I'm siphoning gass from the high school bus 
Into the tank of my beat-up bug 
So I can drive away from the shouting and misery 
I drive into the night, to the hill, to the water tower 
To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower 
Knowing that many men have lain as i do now 
Ptolemy,Copernicus,Carl Jung 
Pondering his existence,pondering, 
Is God with me now? 

And I look to the sky 
And I ask these questions 
Yes,I feel something I don't understand 
Can somebody say Amen? 

My life is but a short and precious seed 
Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a tree 
And when I cascade to the ground I will not be done 
I will mingle with the earth and give life 
To the roots again 

Can somebody say Amen? 

And I look to the sky 
And I ask these questions 
Yes, I feel something I don't understand 
Can somebody say Amen? 
Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks 
Amen for our mothers,for the lust to fuck 
Amen for the child with innocent eyes 
Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die 
Amen for NASA,The NSA 
It's all a front anyway 
Amen for Marilyn Manson,Saddam Hussein 
Amen for America and the Milky Way. 
Amen for Elvis,for Betty Page 
Amen for Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan 
Amen for O.J.,Clinton too 
Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup 
Amen for Gandhi,for Malcolm X 
Amen for the uprising of the weaker sex 
Amen for Babylon, the third world's call, 
Amen for the unity of us all 
Amen,Amen,Amen 

And I am not unique. 
We are all leave on this great big tree. 
this tree that is life,that is God,that is you,that is me 
And I lie under my tree like the Buddhas before and after me 
And I ask the stars, "What for?" 
Yes, I feel something I can't explain 
A light that flickers off and on again 
And I look to the sky 
And I ask these questions 
Yes, I feel something I don't understand 
Oh,can somebody say Amen?
