Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods, he said once 'Son, don't you laugh out loud for they are listening, oh they are listening.' Oooh you gotta be strong, ooh, you gotta keep holding on, it's all just a matter of time, Head for the Hills GO! They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece that you will, paint on, the inside of your eyelids, can you possibly see anything you want to see now? HELL NO! There's nothing wrong with the way I see, and he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war, he wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for, and that's it's gonna have to be my friend, and that's it's gonna have to be my friend, I passed a man on a corner in the city yesterday, singing 'Yada Yada Yada, and tomorrow it will end,' when I never thought I'd live to see another sunny day, well I'm here and I fear I'll be here until the end, so watch your mouth, or you're gonna make a grave mistake, hold your tongue, or you're gonna catch a bullet in your head, watch your mouth, or you're gonna make a grave mistake, don't die for anything less than the best of life. The things they said, went to your head, you never tried, to understand, what they take, you will never take back, cause they take, what they take, when they can, cause they can from you, you follow me and you following but you never ask why, and I wonder what you're under, could this be another piece of the 'I don't care, I just do what they say, because they say what they do, in a matter of fact way,' but don't stop cause you might get burned, and you might just learn how to stand on your own two feet, and I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything that you hear on the streets so well, learn to repeat everything that you hear so well, you learn to repeat everything that you hear so well. And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end, and even if it wasn't they decided they'd pretend, and somewhere in the distance I could hear them whispering 'You can fight all you want, but they will win in the end.' Sometimes in the evening when I am lying in my bed, I am taken to the forest in that isolated shed, and I wake with his words resonating in my head, but I can't stop thinking about the jist of what he said, so watch your mouth, or you're gonna make a grave mistake, hold your tongue, or you're gonna catch a bullet in your head, watch your mouth, or you're gonna make a grave mistake, don't die for anything less than the best of everyone settles for the rest not the best of, I will die for no less than the best of life..."
Read this song over and over and over again. If it ever stops amazing you, than you probably don't get it...
