Ice Age lyrics

(by J. Kaukonen)

Well I heard the news just the other day
Now I feel there`s something I must say
Well the darkness comes too often
This time next year I`ll build my coffin
Made out of lead so X-rays cannot see
We gotta be free
Political men they burn their lives out talkin`
We people of the earth just keep on walkin`
Well we don`t know what to say
Only live our lives as slaves
All we can do is race on to the grave
Well we gotta get away
Well they`re much too old to care about the future
They`re sewing up the past with shining sutures
It`s immortality they crave
Their days are done so now they`re brave
Their lives will live in books for fools and slaves
We gotta get away
