I know a carpenter
I know a laborer
he is my teacher
he is my brother
i have a neighbor
he is my saviour
he doesnt waver
he's a strong beliver
I know a businessman
he scrapped his business plan
while saying 'fack the man'
he gave into the land
they are all archetypes
people that i might like to be
just like in a completely different way
and we all...
we're coming out of our caves
coming out of our caves
I know a farmer
i know his vision
i know his struggle
i know his hope
i know a futurist
he is an optimist
and he knows a young waitress
and he's trying to coax her
out of her cave
by smiling, by winking
by saying you know its good
for us to talk
yeah its good to talk
i know a father
i loved his daughter
i told him never would
i forsake her
but, i got home too late
from one of my escapades
no woman to face, just a note
that said baby i've sailed away
right out of my cave
caught a swell, caught a wave
to another inspiring place
and we all...
we're coming out of our caves
coming out of our caves
my friend the bureaucrat
he just accepts all that
whice i cannot except
such frustration that i wept
for my friend the taxman
he is my father and he
tallies numbers all day
yes, he knows his numbers
you can say!
he taxes income! i asked him how come?
"you know, i work hard for every penny..
don't you think i deserve it all?"
"oh the law, the law, the law son...
there are flaws in the law,
but, in the end i just answer
to GOD.
boy, i'm just doing my job!"
my friend the astronomer
she is a stargazer
i swear they talk to her
boy, i wish i knew
what they were saying
while i was laying in her bed
with her chest to my head..
were our intentions misread?
so i just said it.
i said, "baby, i'm nobody.
i aint got no money!
just this ambition to tell the people
we are equal so c'mon baby
come our of your cave."
catch a swell, catch a wave
to another inspiring place
and we all..
we're coming out of our caves
coming out of our caves.
