Meshell Ndegéocello - Fantastic Voyage

{Verse 1}
In the event that this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion
And we never get old

{Pre-Chorus}
Remember it's true
Dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too (Too, too, too)

{Chorus}
We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose

{Post-Chorus}
It's a very modern world
Nobody's perfect
It's a moving world
But that's no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again
Will we?

{Verse 2}
And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world

{Pre-Chorus}
Remember it's true
Loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too

{Chorus}
Oh, we're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose

{Post-Chorus}
But any sudden movement
I've got to write it down
They wipe out our entire race, I've got to write it down
But I'm still getting educated
And I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again
How can I?
