What We Do For Us
(Words and Music by Mitch Norris)

we rode the Sun Tram to Santa Fe
my favorite place for this holiday
the mountain air always makes me feel alright
alright
the smell of festival food and cedar fires
watchin’ kids fly kites through through the deep blue sky
there'll be music and fireworks beneath the stars tonight
tonight
I still remember how we used to dread this day
back before we opened up our eyes
now this time that we used to hate
we just can't wait to celebrate
everybody wants to pay
we turned it into a holiday
nobody's sleepin' on the street tonight
hungry and cold till the mornin' light
(we made a safe starting place)
that’s what we do for us
(for the human race)
you figure out what you're meant to be
show up for school and you'll learn for free
(you'll benefit society)
that's what we do for us
(we'll all pay the fee)
you won’t spend your last nickel on a broken heart
we’re gonna fix that before it starts
(with free medicine)
that’s what we do for us
(we'll make you whole again)
this little blue planet givin' us a ride
we'll keep her healthy, she'll keep us alive
(our mother Earth)
that's what we do for us
(we know what she’s worth)
that's what we do for us
I recall when we changed our course
turned off the screens and went straight to the source
the inner network the owners could never buy
can never buy
the truth we found there set us free
what I do for you, I do for me
there’s only one of us pretending to be
you and I
you and I
we took control with the agreement that we made
when the Seven Billion opened up our eyes
now we tell our government
how our money will be spent
everybody loves to pay
we made Tax Day a holiday
nobody's sleepin' on the street tonight
hungry and cold till the mornin' light
(we made a safe starting place)
that’s what we do for us
(for the human race)
you figure out what you're meant to be
show up for school and you'll learn for free
(you'll benefit society)
that's what we do for us
(we'll all pay the fee)
you won’t spend your last nickel on a broken heart
we’re gonna fix that before it starts
(with free medicine)
that’s what we do for us
(we'll make you whole again)
this little blue planet givin' us a ride
we'll keep her healthy, she'll keep us alive
(our mother Earth)
that's what we do for us
(we know what she’s worth)
that's what we do for us
there'll be music and fireworks
beneath the stars tonight
Lexicon
The Owners
A group of wealthy people that considered themselves to be the owners of Planet Earth and all of its resources, including its human resources. Not all wealthy people were Owners. Wealth was not the problem. Greed was the problem. They would stop at nothing to acquire more wealth and power, even at the expense of destroying the Planet that sustains all of our lives.
The 7B
The Seven Billion were the normal, civilized, peaceful and loving citizens of The Earth. We were basically good people, that just wanted to work, provide for our families, be kind to other people and The Earth that sustains us, and enjoy our journey through this life. We were also afflicted with C.T.D., but were still capable of seeing The Truth, through the lies of the owners. When a critical mass of us were finally Awakened toThe Truth, we changed it all for good.
The Sun Tram
The 66 Sun Tram is a green-energy-powered maglev train that follows the path of the original Route 66
The Truth
The Truth is, there is only One of us. We are all connected. We are One.
