Seen Enough        (Stephen Stills)


I lost my innocence over intolerance
All the indignities heaped on the black man
We went to church, they all prayed for the white man
The cops and the preachers were most of them in the klan
What's a kid s'posed to think when the adults
are all such hypocrites, impossibly smug

I have seen enough, I have seen enough of this
Had enough, quiete enough, I swear

The next generation, the Woodstock nation
A little bit flaky, but no hesitation
Stop the war, it wasn't worth dyin' for
The paranoia of the cold warriors
Arrogant old men with domino theories
Fractured fairy-tales tryin' to kill me

I've seen enough..

You got outcast upset people you never met
Locked in the basement, hot-wired to the net
Isolated, infuriated, the punchline to the joke
is how they are gonna smoke
Every last stuck-up snob ever dissed them
Look in thir eyes, how could you miss them

Ain't you seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I've had quiete enough
Seen enough

We got dead-eyed, dead drunk
dead stupid cyber punks
Fed-up killer geeks, gigabyte meth freaks
Home alone in a world of their own
Up all night in the thick of the fight
Fantasy combat, veteran psychos
Removed from realiy by silicon diodes

Seen enough...

You got powerbook potentates, pointedly obviate
every opinion they have about anything
Even if they don't know shit stay in the limelight
Got your own website, got all the answers
Ain't got a lick of sense, practising psychiatry
without a license

Ain't you seen...

So you got overfed, talking heads on television
Ignoring the obvious with pained expressions
Ask the ones that sell the damn guns
by the truckload every day
Fast as they can make them what's a kid s'posed to think
when the adults refuse all accountability
when they fuck up

Ain't you seen...
