I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
|
'cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way.
|
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep.
|
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
|
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night.
|
Your body followed this feeling like following light.
|
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round and then it gave
|
your activities meaning and let you be loud. You're sad but you smile.
|
It's not in your eyes. Your eyeballs don't change.
|
It's the muscles around your eyes.
|
|
An egg to fertilize,
|
A pulse to stabilize,
|
A body to deodorize,
|
A life to scrutinize,
|
A child to criticize,
|
Young adults
|
to modernize,
|
Citizens to terrorize,
|
Generations to desensit-.
|
|
Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked.
|
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked.
|
How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(inventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers) be
|
to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed?
|
Am I a prisoner to instincts
|
or do my thoughts just live
|
as free and detached
|
as boats to the dock?
|
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart.
|
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
|
Night after night you turn out the light.
|
You don't fall asleep right away.
|
"Are we... are we done?"
|
|
A desk to organize,
|
A product to advertise,
|
A market to monopolize,
|
Movie stars to idolize,
|
Leaders to scandalize,
|
Enemies to neutralize,
|
No time to apologize,
|
Fury to tranquilize,
|
Weapons to synchronize,
|
Cities to vapor-
