We discovered we're not our thoughts, We're not the things we own. Then somebody bought the silence, And put a mortgage on the OM.

[MALE — DRY SPOKEN] Congratulations. You're officially nobody. [PRE-CHORUS — MALE, BOUNCY] Breathe in love, Breathe out doubt. Your free trial Has just run out.

The politicians found enlightenment, And immediately taxed the sun. They've got a patent on compassion, A trademark on the soul. And the Ministry of Higher Consciousness Has put awareness on the payroll. [MALE — SPOKEN] Apparently, even nothing... Costs something. [BRIDGE — BASS AND PERCUSSION ONLY. MALE VOCAL CLOSE AND INTIMATE.] You can't buy the silence, You can't own the sky. You can't put a price on being, No matter how you try. You can sell a thousand answers, Put a guru on a throne. But the thing you're busy searching for... Was never yours to own. [PAUSE — ONE FUNKY GUITAR PLUCK] [MALE — DEADPAN] Well, that's terrible for business. [FINAL CHORUS — JOYFUL, FUNKY, SLIGHTLY IRREVERENT] It's the great human awakening! Everybody's finally free! Sponsored by BlackRock, And a small administration fee! Raise your vibration!
