What is it like? What's your defense?
|
One of you says...
|
Says "look at this glass, it's half empty"
|
But one of you says...
|
Says "look at this carafe, it is half full"
|
Like two nuts in a jar
|
That are arguing over their origin
|
But we have insight
|
To see that they are brothers, born of the same shell
|
And cast in there by fate alone
|
|
Still they bicker like strangers
|
Fight like old friends
|
And I would like to tell them...
|
"Hey! Look at you and him"
|
Will not the same fate overtake both of you?
|
From the soil you came, and to the soil you'll return
|
|
Blast the folly of humans
|
If only they could see they could see
|
Their shell; still they argue like nuts in a...
|
Ja-a-a-a-a-a-ar...
|
And look to the lid as they kill, claw, and scream... scream
|
|
Madam officer, Lord or whoever,
|
Are we safe? Can you say?
|
As they sky shouts back,
|
"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways"
|
|
Because currently you're spelling "our lives"
|
Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I"
|
O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I...
|
|
To find the rules governing our values of investment in each other
|
Simply grab the words and read...
|
And I bet you will lose all your need to scream... scream
|
|
Madam officer, Lord or whoever,
|
Are we safe? Can you say?
|
As they sky shouts back,
|
"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways"
|
|
The sunlight on hillsides, our minds make the matter
|
As up stairs, we'll climb ethereal ladders
|
So inscribe, in stone, a statement of surrender
|
(Bye, bye, bye)
|
With a quill forged, forged of light
|
|
Madam officer, Lord or whoever,
|
Are we safe? Can you say?
|
As they sky shouts back,
|
"If you want life back segregate your selfish ways"
|
|
Because currently you're spelling "our lives"
|
Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I"
|
O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I...
