Rubber House - Rachael Lampa

Rubber House Lyrics

Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Dont you wanna put the hammer down
Take a break from all the pressure
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whateverWe can take a groove, make it move, so we can prove
That we're for real this time, we got nothin' to hide
We can work the room, make it boom, turn it into
A place where the future finds somethin' from our timeAll we have to do is come into a place anew
Where we can blur the lines, elevate our minds
In my head I see a kinda dream, a place where we can live
Move, have our being, set the torch on fireOh, please, we can make it better, I know it really matters
Wouldn't it be a trip to live in such a place, you and I?Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Dont you wanna put the hammer
Down take a break from all the pressure
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whateverHands up in the air if you dare, we don't care
If it brings you to your knees, it's alright by me
Love will find you still, it's in his will for us to build

One voice, one single gift and lift it up down hereAnd we, we gotta get together, really gotta get with
I could betcha I'll be tellin' you again and againBeen tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Don't you wanna put the hammer
Down take a break from all the pressure
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whateverAfter we've been here, one thousand years, one hundred years
We've no less song to sing, merry, our song
In the words of Rodney King, y'allWhy can't we all just get along?
Blacks, Caucasians, Asians and Latinos
Palestinians, Arabs, Jews and Filipinos
We actin' like mobsters, we runnin' casinos in Reno
Pretendin' like we'd die for our brother but we are filled with evilThis for my people, take heed to this lesson
Put down the aggression
And pick up all these words that I'm now manifestin'
Let's make a difference, help the homeless and prisoners in prison
Instead of speakin' words of hatred that are mean and explicitWho's down to visit the widows and convalescents?
The essence of love is precious
Take some time to bless 'em with your presence
Let's start advancin' at love, peace and equality
Take it from me, T-bone, dawg, it's my philosophyWe, we can make it better, know it gonna get a little better
If we ever come together, we will find this place forever, you and IBeen tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Don't you wanna put the hammer down
Take a break from all the pressure
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whateverBeen tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Been tryin' to build a rubber house so we all can live together
Don't you wanna put the hammer down
Take a break from all the pressure
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
