save these hands for something worthy
this touch that brings life to the earth
mother load of freedom is heaped up high
i feel the burden of this new age resting on my shoulders
to express the anger
to never relent
i wish for the powers that be
to come back and clean house
i know of a place we can all go
where the deceivers are kept at bay
what do you say
would you take the stroll?
could you face the toll?
of the marked and misjudged
i fear the space
up above my face
i'd hate to let loose
the fury that's inside me
oh love does render one ravaged
and love on my knees as the savage
the club that i want no part of
is outside every morning
so i take my number and rot
i've not forgot
that we once slept under stars
and wiggled about in the filthy
perfection of the earth
i swear i must be a transmitter
for the the spirits that know
we are animals
a fact forgotten long ago
misguided goals
digging their holes
i've got rope long enough
to pull from the blackness
it's a farce
an illusion
lets sack the town
just burn it down
all these lies
what am i to do?
just sit back and nod?
well that's not what i do
i ape around and kiss ground
say sorry to the birds
and the grass
and i plant down my ass
in the shade
our parade has no end
just a stream
of the dreamers
who know this is no dream
it's a nightmare
for the starers and the soft souled
who never ever grow old
the street's our carnival
then it's the dungeon
my spirit's not measured in blocks
or clicks on a clock
do you mock me
you do
so i turn into vapors
and swirl all around you
see i can't be touched
by a fear riddled crutch
is it asking too much
to just chill
and not by swallowing some pill
