I resist Executive order I raise my fist (to) Executive order I'm so pissed (with) Executive order I resist Executive order Do you think of your children When you bomb theirs? How can you be so cold In world affairs? Why must I be conquered by your Point of view? Sooner or later (Mr President) all your nightmares Will come true I resist Executive order I raise my fist (to) Executive order I'm so pissed (with) Executive order I resist Executive order how can you be so blind To what is real? I hold on to my mind That you try to steal Your best intentions Are always lies With your interventions And covert spies I resist Executive order I raise my fist (to) Executive order I'm so pissed (with) Executive order I resist Executive order

You say I'm a troublemaker for the way I think My eyes are focused; they don't blink Guilty as charged for thinking Thinking I can live and just be Many before me have done this Hold truth up to tyranny I'm captive in my own homeland Held without a cause The lies you tell on me, I can't understand Join me to crush this system's flaws You say it's a problem; the way I think My eyes are focused; they don't blink Guilty as charged for thinking Thinking I can live and just be Many before me have done this Hold up truth to tyranny I'm captive in my own homeland Shock & Awe has happened to me Lessons of the past I understand Stand with me and be free

living proof 05:04
Verse: I wish I could find a way A way to make u see The fool that I used to be Is gone and been set free Some say people can't change Old habits die hard The first step is positive thinking Don’t need no tarot cards Chorus: I am living proof Living proof of a higher love This is living proof of A spirit that we're all a part of Verse: We all got some dreams that live down deep inside Most don't come true Because of ever present fear if we be, large or small pearl or swine The spirit of love watches us all as we are all divine

Well, it's all in the palm of your hand No illusion, just complete command Your worth is self contained Sometimes it's hard, but you must maintain Sometimes life gives you a test Maybe you can't no rest But if you give your life your best The Universe will take care of the rest
