Bad Religion Too Much to Ask

A refreshing plunge
A drink of palatable water
A deep inspiration
On a warm summer day
A safe stroll
In the middle of the road community
A neighbor 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
I wonder if I'm thinking
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 crash
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 are living
Too far out of bounds

I ain't no politician
I ain't no blind supporter
I ain't no metropia
I am a citizen
And wonder if I'm living
Too far out of bounds

Is it too much to ask?
Can we keep the earth from sinking?
I can see the walls closing in
No one can take much for granted anymore
(You better not take it for granted anymore)
I'm not taking nothing for granted anymore
