Mission Statement Songtext
von Fish

I punched the clock in at 35, I thank the Lord that I′m still alive,
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that my
Hearts still beating that I'm still on my feet,
I′m gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement.

I've been in a downward spiral for a very long, long time,
I've been stepping over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime,
The way I see it, it ain′t gonna work, I′m kissing the past goodbye,
I'm gonna give you, gonna give you a mission statement,

I got no more patience, got no more time,
I′m tired of following orders, sticking to the company line,


I want to change the world and I'm starting with myself,
A private revalation concerning everybody else,
We′re all just lonely people we're all looking for some help,
Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves,
All it takes is kindness and a little love and care,
And this planet that we live on can be a
Heaven we can share, a mission statement.

The tears of hungry children are falling in the dust,
The scraps of a rich man′s table could fill their starving mouths,
While some they thirst for water others get drunk on wine,
To some their lives a prison and they're out there doing time,
I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement,

I got no more patience, I got no more time,
I′m tired of following orders, sticking to the company line

I want to change the world and I′m starting with myself,
A private revalation concerning everybody else,
We're all just lonely people we′re all looking for some help,
Too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves,
All it takes is kindness and a little love and care,
And this planet that we live on can be a
Heaven we can share, a mission statement.
