about

[Humanity is out of touch]

Basically, the thesis statement for the album. Bouncy, quirky, soulful. But ultimately hits on business, spirit, food/nature, community, many of the themes the album will touch on.

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Canada Heat - Getting hotter than a Panama Beach -
In a Canada Goose - speaking of Canada Beast
Who’s speaking Canada’s truth? Who’s standin for peace?
Live from the home of the slaves and the land that was thiefed
Lot of broken and lost souls on this planet of freaks
Supply and demand's the only commandment we preach
Each man is a brand, each night’s famine or feast
So we quote “I sell therefore I am” in these streets
The ppl is sick and nothing that a needle will fix
We need presence (presents), we just get receipts for the gifts
Playing God —We just got a cease and desist
When our own souls wish that we would cease to exist
We out of touch now
____

Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
We out of touch now

My how we’ve come a long way
But it seems we’re headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before It’s too late
____

Just touched ground now
How do we re-attach the roots?
I don’t mean no metaphor - I’m talking ‘bout these packaged foods
Mass-produced
Who’s the most impacted group?
Guess — we the Black and blue
Really it’s a question that connected to the facts and truth
land and plants and passionfruits
We got crashing moods, diseases, and other attributes
lack of direction from having no grasp of the past or future
Attitude is numb, plus we love to escape
We love entertainment - especially if its public disgrace!
No loving embraces and nothing is sacred
These public debates, discussions of late
No trust in the place
The drugs in the safe, the plug’s in the wall
And all that to say
The main cause of all of the suffering and hate?

___

We out of touch now
Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
We out of touch now

My how we’ve come a long way
But it seems we’re headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before It’s too late

And that’s the way that it goes
Oh Lord, I don’t know if I can take anymore
Got my hands in the air and my knees to the floor
Wanna reach out and touch something deep in my soul (X2)

We out of touch now
Too out of touch now
In the 6 like touchdown
I was tripping I just touched down
We out of touch now

My how we’ve come a long way
But it seems we’re headed in the wrong way
Hope we finally turn it around one day
Before It’s too late
