9

Its 6'n the morning, the sun just arrived,
Some steps o' people running up around my block
My clock's beepin' like a soldier shouts
Wake up you sissy’s @ the army’s flock

The TV turns on, & the early news,
Report the murdering o' more than a few,
The war officially declared @ east,
& underground guerrillas wounding third world‘s peace

Cease 4 awhile,
Give me a break,
We're dooming our earth destruction
& still don’t give a damn
Have 2 stand up,
I gotta work,
But my energy’s drowned b4 such injustice,
& you tell me the show must go on

Press the snoozer from the alarm clock,
Gimme 9 minutes more b4 the show,
In my nirvana shield of a lite sleep,
I wanna stay, I wanna stand
Press the snoozer button from the clock
Its just 9 minutes, more away from shock
Your city life improves nothing on me,
9 minutes, just 9 minutes away…

6-0-9 A:M. & am still in bed
The clock recalls me it might get so late,
But am not ready 4 reality,
Just can’t cope, its all rotten

My nightmare’s better than reality
There’s a sense of freedom in the worst of my dreams
That’s impossible finding in a real life world
& world’s show. It’s so rust

Cease 4 awhile,
Give me a break,
From the phonyness of this reality
& the fakeness of their smiles
Am trying to raise up,
Got to get up,
But my energy’s drowned b4 such cloudiness,
But the show must still go on

Press the snoozer from the alarm clock,
Gimme 9 minutes more b4 the show,
In my nirvana shield of a lite sleep,
I wanna stay, I wanna stand
Press the snoozer button from the clock
Still don’t have the strength, haven’t found the guts
The modern life just sicks me to my tears
9 minutes, just 9 minutes away…

I know times are changing 4 good in the future
& I know God has made a plan to stop this pain
But sometimes I wonder if am gonna make it
If my strength is bigger than world’s air
Lord, I need a break

It’s a battle day by day
Minute by minute
Second by second
All the wrong will have to fade
Little by little
Letter by letter
But now gimme 9 minutes,
just 9 minutes away…
