Too Much To Ask

Greg Graffin

A refreshing plunge
A drink of palatable water
A deep inspiration on a warm summer day
A safe stroll in a middle of the road community
A neighbour who in times of need will not turn away
I ain't no politician, I am a citizen
And I wonder if I'm living too far out of bounds

Community protection, rehabilitation
Police that serve without legitimate right to maim
Global awareness, ecological guilt
Cultural and environmental awakening
I ain't no optimist, I try to be a realist
And I think that we're living too far out of bounds
Is it too much to ask?
Could it be the earth is shrinking?
I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore

Remote control, three cars for every family
Corruption at the expense of the simple majority
A violent clash, a plunder of the third world
Any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy
I ain't no blind supporter, I'm a conscious citizen
And I know that we're living too far out of bounds
Is it too much to ask?
Could we keep the earth from sinking?
