Sociology of Freedom (feat. Josie)

Enki

We all enslaved
We all chained
We all livin in Plato′s caveFastened gaze
Staring at a cave wall
Watching phantoms of our culture
Like horned bull and a red drape for it we fall

One day you break free from the chains
Step out of the cave
And into something close to infinite light
A beautiful sight
Finally free
You re-enter the cave to tell the people about what you've seen
But nobody likes to be told what to believe
Be careful humans react easily
You persist
And the humans resist
Now they′re done
So they kill the sun

Same shit different day
Livin in Plato's cave chained
Livin in this paradigm enslaved

Capitalist modernity
Phantoms on the cave
Influencing you and me
Collapse of family and community for the state and market

Individuals stay preoccupied with survival
In the marketplace jungle
In a world over which they exercise no control
Moral behavior in the market place is all but impossible

Capitalism reducing human diversity into faceless workers
Homogenization of taste and culture
Through mass consumer markets
A philosophy of endless small talks
Ideals embodied in cluttered shopping malls
Kama Manas Desire minds
The modern crisis

We have become free-floating commodities
Walking advertisements
With no memory
Of an alternative way of life
To the father culture and hierarchical mentality

Breath 1-2-3
Take a moment and think deeply
Who
When
Where
Why
What do you see
If you could be anything what would you be?

Yemanese dying from hunger and disease
Saudi Arabia Bin Salman pulling the trigger stop please
With an American Gun
Refugees people forced into migration

A political prisoner
Abdullah Ocalan
A man trying to get civilization
Out of Plato's cave

Predator states
Foreign intervention
Venezuela let me mention
Appointee Elliot abrams
Responsible for Genocide
El Salvador Guatemala
Funding right-wing contras
In Nicaragua
The real solution to crisis in Venezuela
Isn′t right-wing Guiado regime changes
Or Deadly sanctions
Instead renewable energies
Economic diversification
Ecosocialist horizons

The richest men in the united states
Jeff Bezos Warren Buffett and Bill Gates
Have more wealth than half the US population
Social Darwinism as a justification

Top of the pyramid powerful men
Spying down with a powerful cam
An all-seeing eye phone
Following us everywhere that we go
Patriot act following us all the way home
Take rights away in the name of security
Fuck that I say it securely
Elected Modi, Netanyahu, Erdogan
And Salvini in Italy

Families arrested and separated
At the South American border
Escaping horrific situations
People who need food and water

US extraterritorial reach
Arresting Julian Assange
Threatening journalists and free speech globally
Massacres in La saline, Haiti
IMF indebting 3rd world countries

To much reality
Like suicidal kids slitting open their wrists
Finding food, water, and shelter,
Inequality climate crisis the struggle is real
Rest in power Eric Garner
All those in Palestine West Bank and Gaza
Syria Raqqa Aleppo left for dead yo
Uprising in Sudan and Algeria
While Oil politics fuel bloodshed in Libya

Daniel hale jailed by the espionage act
Exposing war crimes in Afghanistan
No man programs
Chelsea Manning
Honduras overthrowing
The democratic government
Hillary Clinton
The cold war never ended
Mike Pompeo and John Bolton
Pushin′ war with Iran

Cyclone Udai and Kenneth in Mozambique
Homes destroyed and thousands dead
Climate change is planetary ethnic cleansing
Over a million species on the edge of extinction
Roe v. wade
Trying to revoke women's right to abortion

Bolsonaro Amazon deforestation
For big agribusiness stop JBS
Fascist parties and autocratic regimes
Thousands dead at the hands
Of Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines

Canadian Tar Sands
More greenhouse gases in the environment
Koch brothers war mongering science
Funding climate change deniers

Ecological and feminist movements
The birds in capitalist modernity′s iron cage
Free Ocalan from containment
Free Ocalan from the grip of the Levithan
Free Ocalan from prison
Free Free Ocalan
To uncage Ocalan we have to uncage ourselves
From the Iron bars that we live in

Breath 1-2-3
Take a moment and think deeply
Who
When
Where
Why
What do you see
If you could be anything what would you be?

In such times of chaos
Small steps toward freedom
Could amount to large leaps forward
Sapiens history is simply the passing of greed
As we approach Democratic modernity
Democratic civilization is something
In our thoughts and actions daily
Not a past or future fantasy
This conscious shift
Will come from the youth
As it always did
The mind of a child is where revolution begins

A revolutionary movement
Is an educational movement
A revolutionary quest for truth
Truth is love and love is free life
Through love mother earth will reach emancipation
Critical thinking and collaboration we can find solutions
Freedom is communal life without war

To make cultural change
We gotta change how we communicate
Change how we interact with one another
A sociology of freedom
Balance of right and left brain
Yang and Yin
Nature is the grounds for morality and ethics
Gaia theory
The morality of oneness

Utopia is not a destination it's a journey
A changing society that never stops learning
There is no final destination that′s the understanding
We need the democratic flexibility To continue to progress
And learn from our mistakes
Because once you get out Plato's cave
You step into another an even bigger cave
There′s always room for change
There's always room for change

Breath

Why
What do you see
If you could be anything what would you be
Breath close your eyes
Watch closely
See with your mind's eye
All starts with a dream
If you could be anything what would you be
All starts with a dream
Will build a future where Gaia is free
What do you see
