Treasures
Unearthing Life's Riches: Collateral Citizens' Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
I’ve got 50 years worth of steel balls and nerves
I have a long history of resilience and courage.
I give kisses to everyone although they deserve none
I express affection to everyone, regardless of whether they deserve it or not.
I got money sticking out the back of my pants
I have wealth, but it may be conspicuous or ostentatious.
I got questions to which I forget all the answers
I have unanswered questions, suggesting a sense of uncertainty or confusion.
I live the fullest of lives got the richest of dreams
I lead a fulfilling life with ambitious dreams.
I set goals I can’t get to in a million years
I set goals that may seem unattainable in a vast amount of time.
I got hopes and fears I got terrible ideas
I have both hopes and fears, along with unconventional or risky ideas.
I get praise and attention but did I achieve anything
Despite receiving praise and attention, I question my actual achievements.
But I’ll dig up treasures in my own time
I will discover valuable things at my own pace.
Cause I have a feeling I’ll be here for a while
I anticipate a long-lasting presence or impact.
I’m a child of love or a victim of hate
I am either a product of love or a victim of hate.
Wrong side of the bed or the right one too late
My circumstances may be challenging, whether due to waking up on the wrong side of the bed or realizing things too late.
I guess you win some lose some it’s all in the game
Life involves winning and losing, and it's all part of the unpredictable game.
The phoenix of arrogance the burden of shame
I carry the duality of arrogance and shame like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
I’ve seen ugly faces with nothing but lies
I've encountered deceitful individuals with ugly intentions.
Met the sweetest people with tears in their eyes
I've met kind-hearted people who experience deep sadness.
Now we’re all fucked up ignorants and misinformed fools
Society is troubled, full of ignorance, and misled by misinformation.
Collateral citizens disposable fools thats me and you
We are disposable citizens facing consequences, reflecting both the singer and the listener.
But I’ll dig up treasures in my own time
Despite challenges, I will discover valuable things at my own pace.
Cause I have a feeling I’ll be here for a while
I anticipate a long-lasting presence or impact.
But I’ll dig up treasures in my own time
I will continue to unearth valuable things in my own time.
Cause I have a feeling I’ll be here for a while
I anticipate a long-lasting presence or impact.
Don’t you let anything get in the way of the truth
A call to avoid distractions and stick to the truth.
Let’s start by questioning the new speak of power’s poisoning you
Encouragement to question those in power, suggesting their words may be deceitful.
Don’t you let anything anything get in the way of you’re truth
A repetition of the importance of staying true and not letting anything hinder personal truth.
Never stop questioning cause all of the answers will come soon
An urging to continuously question, with the assurance that answers will come in due time.
The new speak of power’s poisoning you
Reiteration that the language of those in power can be toxic and misleading.
