We Know
Backstory
I was really into Timothy Leary and consciousness expansion in the early 80s when I wrote this and I was also into Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” and Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall - Part 2” and anything to help the children rebel against authority. The children always know better before they are conditioned and indoctrinated - they’re born with an inherent eternal innocence that the system beats out of them. This was my Pop reminder. It's nice to hear it with a soft female Suno vocal.
Lyrics
They keep telling us... Don't do too much when you're young Or you'll have nothing to do later on. [Softly Whispered narration] (Hey, you can't limit someone's reality like that!) They keep telling us... Take your time tomorrow can wait Resign yourself to the going rate. [Softly Whispered narration] (You have to be kidding, we have to explore all the possibilities!) We know (Yeah!) There's no limitation We know (Yeah!) Within our imagination. They keep telling us... Don't make waves or you'll capsize Play your part and claim your prize. [Softly Whispered narration] (No way, we're going to swim off to a new horizon!) They keep telling us Dream your dreams but come back down Build your future on solid ground. [Softly Whispered narration] (Can't you understand we just want to be free!!) We know (Yeah!) There's no limitation We know (Yeah!) Within our imagination. Capture every moment as it flashes by Reach on up and see if you can touch the sky Expanding as you grow 'Cause there's so much left to know! We know (Yeah!) There's no limitation We know (Yeah!) Within our imagination. Be a child of innocence eternally Turn on, tune in, listen close and you will see The future's in your hands And they have to understand!
