"One With My Surroundings" lyrics

"One With My Surroundings"

We're not the grown-ups

Let's all talk about eastern religion
And I know you think it's pure but it's not my decision
To look into myself at my time of need
In this information age when the knowledge is free

I'm one with my surroundings
One with the world around me
Passing attraction
Think for a fraction
Of your coherent time
Duty empowers
The waking hours
Sleeping will cleanse the mind

Equal distance traveled but I bet I get there faster
And a hundred years from now they'll applaud the multi-tasker
Cause the ancient ones seem full of wisdom
Even if their time dismissed them

I'm one with my surroundings
One with the world around me
Passing attraction
Think for a fraction
Of your coherent time
Duty empowers
The waking hours
Sleeping will cleanse the mind

Now it's a joke and it's time you all face it
That an hour meditating is an hour you just wasted
Cause I've wired all the world to me
It's bio-connectivity

I'm one with my surroundings
One with the world around me
Let's all tell the X-ers that they've raised their children well

We're not the grown-ups

Passing attraction
Think for a fraction
Of your coherent time
Duty empowers
The waking hours
Sleeping will cleanse the mind

We're not the grown-ups
