Second Gear

Ode to a King

I'm sure it's all said and done
You've won, they said you've won
But it's still their scene
And they're not letting you in
Anymore

Elvis was their star
He's white, that's not who you are
He too fell from grace
But didn't need to change his face
Is this what it's all about
Is this why they're sore?

You can't figure out
What people fear
what seems the norm
Or just what seems odd
Just grab on to what you hold dear
Play the music
To everyone else's ears
And they won't bother you
Anymore

Second gear...Second gear
If you've moonwalked the planets
Do it over the hill
With your songs, coast along
The world gets better with second gear

I thought it once cool
Simon Legree's dead, isn't he?
And biodiversity strengthens
The same gene pool
But we're way over our heads out here
When we gun our ships
To make Time stand still.

Second gear...Second gear
Never a blurry moment when you hear
Second gear.
