The Earth vs. Me Songtext
von Powerman 5000

Someone cut him, too
Leg gone, head gone
And if you run out there, they′re gon' kill you, too

That′s the way it's gotta, that's the way it′s gotta
That′s the way it's gotta be, yeah
That′s the way it's gotta, that′s the way it's gotta be
The Earth vs. me
That′s the way it's gotta, that's the way it′s gotta
That′s the way it's gotta be, yeah
That′s the way it's gotta, that′s the way it's gotta be
The Earth vs. me


Tales of an ordinary madness, who′s to blame?
I mean for all the sadness could it be
The enemy within or just them?
Yeah right, I blame them
Who is the one that's kickin' your ass?
Who is the one that′s on your back?
Stabbin′ the soul twister
I turned your miss into a mystery
I see, that's the way it′s gotta be
The Earth vs. me
Well, I can dig it, yeah, I'll rise above it all
Never, never, never takin′ the fall

That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it's gotta
That′s the way it′s gotta be, yeah
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it′s gotta be
The Earth vs. me
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it's gotta
That′s the way it′s gotta be, yeah
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it′s gotta be
The Earth vs. me


Well, the thoughts that I think are paranoid
The thoughts that I think I can't avoid
I swear they′re out to get me but get me not
'Cause I'm ready for the fight, see?
Trapped in a conscious state of mind and separation
Stickin′ to kickin′ the facts from the songs of alienation
Trapped in a conscious state of mind of separation
Stickin' to kickin′ the facts from the songs of alienation
Stickin' to kickin′ the facts, stickin' to kickin′ the facts
Stickin' to kickin' the facts from the songs of alienation
Some people were meant to be left alone
So step off!

That′s the way it′s gotta, that's the way it′s gotta
That's the way it′s gotta be, yeah
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it's gotta be
The Earth vs. me
That′s the way it′s gotta, that's the way it′s gotta
That's the way it′s gotta be, yeah
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it's gotta be
The Earth vs. me

Step one: Dehumanize
Step two is when you realize
Step three: Humilate
Step four: Recreate

That′s the way it′s gotta, that's the way it′s gotta
That's the way it′s gotta be, yeah
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it's gotta be
The Earth vs. me
That′s the way it′s gotta, that's the way it′s gotta
That's the way it′s gotta be, yeah
That's the way it′s gotta, that's the way it's gotta be
The Earth vs. me
