These sounds surround me in these in high frequencies
And talk all about you, we'll just keep sitting here
And I'm feeling the cool breeze across my face
Have you got the time to talk to me?
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance
And I'll die in my open mind
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
And I'll die in my open mind
'Cause this is the state of the world
When I'm about to go crazy, 'cause I'm still living here
'Cause this is the state of the world
The subway tells the story here
'Cause this is the state of the world
I'm losing to find and I'm breaking to fix
Stone alone in the city of bastard roots
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
This city tells me what it's like to live
Hey, bike messenger, "What's your name?"
Till you roll on through
Serpico, he's still around screwed up police ya might
I live in my open mind
When I'm about to go crazy, 'cause I'm still living here
I live in my open mind
'Cause this is the state of the world, this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
Get found, city crime's for city cops
This city tells me what it's like to live
And I'll die in my open mind
'Cause this is the state of the world
This is the place to disappear
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
You've got to know the streets you rock
And I'll die in my open mind
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause this is the state of the world
There's no place like home there's, no place like home
'Cause this is the state of the world
'Cause I'm not fit to go on like this
Music in my head, the rhythm keeps me fed
'Cause this is the state of the world, this is the state of the world
I live in my open mind
I just get my friends together and we dance, dance, dance
Tell you what? We'll sit on this here stoop
