My name is what's your name
|
I am the voice of sane
|
Remembering things that I told me yesterday
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
I am inside your frame
|
We saw the devils,
|
Had to make them go away
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
You may reject my claim
|
But I expect that you won't vary from it long
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
Ours is a single aim
|
And we can double recognize in need of form (?)
|
|
Take it to the street
|
Tell everybody you meet
|
You do whatever, you do whatever you feel the wardrum beat
|
|
Put it in the air,
|
Spit it everywhere
|
You do whatever you do whatever, you know you got to be there
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
You only take it as a symbol
|
Look closely, who does it resemble?
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
If you recall the change
|
Then you can dig that we've been put into a trance
|
|
My name is what to do
|
I am inside of you
|
I've been here ever since the day you learned to stand
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
Born on the wings of strain
|
Ours is a justice that has long been overdue
|
|
My name is what to do
|
But we already knew
|
And now the clouds are wearing how come to view (?)
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
Take it to the street
|
Tell everybody you meet
|
You do whatever, you do whatever you feel the wardrum beat
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
Put it in the air,
|
Spit it everywhere
|
You do whatever you do whatever, you know you got to be there
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
You only take it as a symbol
|
(Shah mot!)
|
Look closely, who does it resemble?
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
I am the voice of sane
|
Remembering things that I told me yesterday
|
|
My name is what's your name
|
I am inside your frame
|
We saw the devils,
|
Had to make them go away
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
Take it to the street
|
Tell everybody you meet
|
You do whatever, you do whatever you feel the wardrum beat
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
Put it in the air,
|
Spit it everywhere
|
You do whatever you do whatever, you know you got to be there
|
|
Shah mot!
|
|
You only take it as a symbol
|
Look closely, who does it resemble?
