Mission Statement Lyrics - Fish

I punched the clock in at thirty-five 

I thank the Lord that I'm still alive 

Sometimes I find it hard to believe 

That my hearts 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 

Too busy crunching numbers 

And fighting for ourselves 

And 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, oh yes 

Now listen 

The tears of hungry children 

Well, they're falling in the dust 

The scraps of a rich man's table 

Well, they can fill their starving mouths 

While some they thirst for water 

Others get drunk on wine 

To some their lives a 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 

Too busy crunching numbers 

And fighting for ourselves 

And 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 mission statement 

Alright, alright 

Listen, why don't you listen 

To my mission statement 

Have you ever felt the rain before it falls? 

Have you ever sense the storm before it arrives on the horizon? 

I don't think so
