Mission Statement (The Remasters)

I punched the clock in at thirty five

And I thank the Lord that I'm still alive

Sometimes I find it hard to believe

But my heart's still beating and I'm still on my feet

I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement

I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement

I've been in a downward spiral for a very long long time

I've been stepping over dollars just to pick up a shiny dime

The way I see it, it ain't gonna work

I'm kissing my past goodbye

I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement

I got no more patience, I got no more time

I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line

I wanna change the world and I'm starting with myself

A private revelation concerning everybody else

We're all just lonely people, we're all looking for some help

We're too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves

All it takes is kindness and a little love and care

And this planet that we live on can be a heaven we can share

A mission statement

The tears of hungry children, well they're falling in the dust

The scraps of a rich man's table

Well they could feed a starving mouse

While some they thirst for water, others get drunk on wine

For some their lives are prison and they're out there doing time

I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement

I'm gonna give you, give you a mission statement

I got no more patience, I got no more time

I'm tired of following orders, sticking to the company line

I wanna change the world and I'm starting with myself

A private revelation concerning everybody else

We're all just lonely people, we're all looking for some help

We're too busy crunching numbers and fighting for ourselves

All it takes is kindness and a little love and care

And this planet that we live on can be a heaven we can share

A mission statement

This is a mission statement

Listen

Why don't you listen to my mission statement?

Have you ever felt the rain before it falls?
