(WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT ISN’T)

WE HAVEN’T LOST OUR WAY
WE HAVE YET TO FIND IT

WE SHOULDN’T BLAME OURSELVES
WE SHOULD ONLY SEEK IT

WE CAN’T HAVE ALREADY LOST OUR HOPE
WE WILL LOOK FOR IT

WE MUSTN’T DISMISS THE PAST
WE MUST REMEMBER IT

WE NEEDN’T CREATE MORE FABLES
WE NEED TO REALIZE IT

WE AREN’T SOME DEIFIED EXPERIMENT
WE ARE THE ONES THAT CREATE IT

WE DON’T SEEM TO CATCH THE DRIFT
WE DO MISUNDERSTAND IT

WE WON’T SURVIVE MORE GENERATIONS
IF WE FAIL TO GRASP IT

On television every night – to bitch is to be cool
who do these newscasters think they Fool

It’s really not hard though – to Figure out who
it’s like you and me — and their own selves too

The ones in power are who they are trying to drag down
making those they choose – to look like a clown

Find someone’s misery and make it a news item
IF they struggle – use the one-way airways to really Fight’m

Hold’m down – kick’m in the teeth – get’m real good
a sneer For a smile – the tube is your protective hood

A smug little bastard – trying so hard to please
not even knowing they carry a cultural disease

They’re ‘complain-O-maniacs’ – to call them by name
the cause is simple – it’s none other than Fame

LIKE A BLIND MAN STANDING AT THE EDGE OF AN ABYSS
WE MUST KNEEL DOWN AND CONNECT WITH THE EARTH FROM WHERE WE CAME

IF WE DO NOT WE WILL SURELY TUMBLE OFF AND BE INCINERATED
IN A THERMONUCLEAR HELL WITH NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME

USING POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS DOGMA AS REASONS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND THE MISCONCEPTION THAT YOU WERE RIGHT JUST BECAUSE YOU’VE WON

NO SECOND CHANCES THIS TIME – NO PATTING US ON THE HEAD
TELLING US – ‘IT’S ALL RIGHT – JUST TELL US WHAT YOU’VE DONE’

BUT THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS THIS TIME AROUND
NO ONE TO STAND ON THE RUBBLE AND REVEL IN THE VICTOR’S CHEER

BECAUSE WHEN OUR LEADERS CRAWL OUT OF THEIR HOLES TO RALLY THE MASSES
THERE WILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NO ONE LEFT TO HEAR

DOES THE BLIND MAN SEE WHAT IS BEING SAID HERE – THAT OUR FUTURE
IS HELD HOSTAGE BY IDEAS WHICH ARE BACKED BY MILITARY MIGHT

THAT FEAR AND MISUNDERSTANDING ARE THE REASONS AND JUSTIFICATION
WHICH WE CHOOSE TO MAKE CIVILIZATIONS FINAL FIGHT

CONDEMNING OURSELVES TO A HELL OF OUR OWN CREATION
AND TO BURN FOR SINS THAT NEVER REALLY NEEDED TO EXIST

THE REAL SIN IS THAT WE NEVER TOOK TIME TO FIGURE OUT DIFFERENCES
SO NOW WE WILL ATOMIC BOMBS INSTEAD OF OUR FISTS

SO MINDLESSLY WE STUMBLE THROUGH THIS LIFE AND SELDOM ARE WE AWARE
IT SEEMS THAT GETTING AHEAD AT ANY COST OR TO HEAVEN IS OUR ONLY CARE

MIXED UP BELIEVERS CHOOSING IDEOLOGICAL ALLIES AS THE WORLD LIPS AWAY
OUR MAIN CONCERN IS THE MONEY WE AMASS AND OUR DESTINATION COME JUDGMENT DAY

WE WON’T LET OURSELVES REALIZE WHO WE ARE AND WHY WE ARE HERE
WE INTERRUPT THE WORLD THROUGH DESTRUCTIVE DOGMA AND POINTLESS FEAR

SIN IS WASTING THE PLANET – THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO SEE
IF A NEW AGE OF PLANETARY PROGRESS WILL EVER COME TO BE

SO WHILE WE STILL HAVE SOME SENSE LEFT TO TRY AND SUSTAIN LIFE
LET’S GET REAL BOLD HERE AND USE REALITY LIKE A KNIFE

CUT OUT THE HOCUS POCUS THE SPIRITUAL INTERLOPERS USE TO MAKE THEIR BUCKS
WHO THEN SIT BACK AND CHUCKLE TO THEMSELVES – GETTING THEIR EGOTISTICAL YUCKS

WELL IT’S TIME TO CRY FOUL ON THAT WHOLE ABSURD LITTLE SCENE
BUT LOOK OUT NOW BECAUSE THEY’RE CORNERED AND THEY’RE GONNA GET REAL MEAN

BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR EASY MONEY – THAT’S BLASPHEMY TO THEM
AND THEY WON’T SPEND MUCH TIME TO HAW AND HEM

THEY WON’T BE HAPPY AT ALL – NO NOT IN THE LEAST
THEY’LL SPIT FORTH ACCUSATIONS AND CALL YOU THE BEAST

CRYING OUT TO THEIR FOLLOWERS – TELLING THEM THAT THESE PEOPLE MUST BURN
AN EGOMANIAC THREATENED IS A VICIOUS ANIMAL WHEN THERE IS NO PLACE TO TURN

GOING THROUGH THIS WORLD
FRIGHTENED AND DEFENSIVE AND LIVING ON WHAT IFS
LISTENING TO THE BABBLE AND DENYING WHAT REALLY EXISTS

FEARFUL OF FLAGRANT FANTASIES
BEING BOTH WRONG AND RESOLUTE – AND DEFIANTLY SO
NOT KNOWING THAT DOGMA AND CONDITIONING CONSTITUTE WHAT WE KNOW

LOST IN MISCONCEPTIONS
CAN THE CONCEPT OF REALITY BE A KIND OF CURE
TO STOP US FROM FLOCKING TO GUT LEVEL DEMAGOGUES – USING THE HEREAFTER LURE

DREAMED UP DESTINIES
CONTRIVED BY SUPPOSED SAINTS – WHO LOOK AT OTHERS TO BLAME
BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT THEIR ONLY CARE SEEMS TO BE THEIR PRESENT FAME

USING CONTEMPT AS A CONCEPT
THE SELF CHOSEN FEW SMUGLY SNUB OTHERS – CREATING AN EARTHBOUND HELL
THAT OTHERS HAVE ANOTHER BUT PROFOUND BELIEF – HAS THE RELEVANCY OF NIL

LOSING SIGHT OF THE PRESENT
IN FAVOR OF FANTASTIC FORMULAS OF THE FUTURE – BUT FORGETTING THE PAST
WE NEED MORE THAN SELF-RIGHTEOUS BIGOTS -IF WE WANT THIS WORLD TO LAST

BUT HERE WE ARE
LOST IN THIS VERBOSE WICKEDNESS – THE PEOPLE JUST ACT STUNNED
WE NEED AN EARTHLY INCANTATION SO THAT THIS SPELL SHALL BE UNDONE

YEP – YOU GOTTA GO BY IT
YOU MUST NOT DEFY IT
GO WITH THE KNOWN – IT’S SECURE
THE STATUS QUO IS A SEDUCTIVE LURE
IF YOU DEVIATE – YOU’RE OUT OF LINE
STAY PLACID AND THINGS WILL BE FINE
WELL – SO SAY THOSE IN POWER
AS FROM THEIR IVORY TOWERS THEY GLOWER
SITTING SMUG AND JUDGMENTAL
ANY OPPOSITION IS JUST INCIDENTAL
THE INGREDIENTS ARE WRITTEN IN STONE
THE NEED FOR CHANGE IS THEIRS ALONE
BUT OUR CULTURAL STEW HAS SPOILED
TOO MANY CHEFS WITH AN ‘I’ AS IT BOILED
PERSONAL PREFERENCE IS THE PROVERBIAL SALT
BUT THERE IS MORE THAN JUST THIS AT FAULT
IT HAPPENS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE SO APATHETIC
THE BEST THING TO CALL US IS JUST PATHETIC
SOCIETY SICK FROM A RANCID BREW
THE ONLY CURE IS SOMETHING NEW
BUT OH HOW THOSE IN POWER WILL HOWL
CURSING AND MAKING ACCUSATIONS AND CRYING FOUL
BUT WHAT IS FOUL – IS HOW THEY’VE WRECKED THE SYSTEM
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SUCH WISDOM
ANY RATIONAL FORMULA AS HARD TO DETECT
AND A NAUSEOUS NATION IS THE EFFECT
WE ARE FAR TOO COMPLACENT AND NAIVE
WE HAVE MADE OURSELVES EASY TO DECEIVE
SO IF YOU’RE TIRED OF THE SAME OLD POLITICAL DIET
THE MASSES IN UNISON IS THE WAY TO DEFY IT

IN A CREATED WORLD IT IS EASY NOT TO CARE
ABOUT HOW FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL FARE

WHY BE CONCERNED WHEN IT’S JUST GOING TO END
BUT IS THAT THE MESSAGE WE REALLY WANT TO SEND

WHAT IF THERE IS NO END LIKE WE’VE BEEN TAUGHT
AND THE BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL THAT WILL BE FOUGHT

WAS PRECIPITATED BY OUR UNKNOWING WAYS
THAT OUR IGNORANCE TODAY IS WHERE THE FAULT LAYS

QUICK FIXES AND URGENT NEEDS FOR A TEMPORARY GAIN
MAY WELL BE VIEWED IN THE FUTURE AS NOT SO SANE

SO TO KEEP THE MOOD OF OUR FRIENDS IN THE FUTURE MORE STABLE
WE MUST NOW LOOK AT LIFE WITH A MORE REALISTIC TIME TABLE

LET’S NOT HURTLE INTO THE FUTURE AT BREAKNECK SPEED
LEAVING THEM LOST AND FORSAKEN HOLDING OF OUR DEADLY DEED

NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE STOCK OF OUR SITUATION AND SURMISE
IF WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW WILL LATER CREATE OUR DEMISE

HERE’S A SIMPLE BUT ALMOST INCOMPREHENSIBLE NOTION
WHICH IS – THAT WHICH WE DO NOW – SETS A COSMIC CLOCK IN MOTION

THE POINT IS TO BE AWARE OF WHAT WILL BE CREATED
IF TECHNOLOGICAL IGNORANCE IS ALLOWED TO RUN AMUCK UNABATED

THE IDEA IS – THAT WHICH WE DO NOW – HAS FUTURE CONSEQUENCES
AND IT MAY BE TOO LATE – IF WE TAKE TOO LONG TO COME TO OUR SENSES

WHATEVER WE DO NOW MUST BE UNDONE
IF NOT OUR RACE INTO THE FUTURE MAY BE A SHORT RUN

IF WE FORGE AHEAD MINDLESSLY LEAVING TIME BOMBS IN OUR WAKE
WHO WILL BE LEFT TO LAMENT FOR HUMANITIES’ SAKE?

YOU SAY YOU’VE FOUND HAPPINESS AND YOUR MIND IS A PEACEFUL PLACE
THEN TURN AROUND IN CONDEMNATION SHOWING YOU HAVE A DOUBLE FACE

THIS IS HYPER-CRITICAL AND OBNOXIOUS AND A ‘FOOLING ONES SELF’ SITUATION
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE IN A STATE OF BLISS WHILE PRONOUNCING DAMNATION

WHEN YOU ARE ARROGANT AND ‘HOLIER THAN THOU’ YOU MISS THE MARK
YOU SAY YOU OFFER THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD BUT YOU STAND IN THE DARK

YOU CAN’T GIVE SOMETHING YOU DON’T HAVE AND ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK
THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY KIND OF HEAVENLY REWARD FOR SUCH A FINK

DIMINISHING THE RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE BY MAKING IT AN ACT GANG WARFARE
WHEN IT’S GANG AGAINST GANG – DEFIANCE IS MORE THAN JUST A BLANK STARE

RAILING AGAINST ANY OTHERS WHO DON’T BELIEVE QUITE THE WAY YOU DO
BELIEF SYSTEMS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND ARE LITTLE MORE THAN VOODOO

EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ANCIENT AND ARE THE GENESIS OF YOUR OWN BELIEF
THEY ARE CONDEMNED AND ANY ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND IS KEPT QUITE BRIEF

MEANWHILE USING ERRONEOUS AND CONTRIVED FACTS TO MAKE YOUR CASE
THE END RESULT BEING THAT IT IS YOUR OWN POSITION THAT YOU DEBASE

THOUGH OF THIS YOU WILL NEVER BE AWARE AND YOU WILL NEVER RELENT
AN EVANGELICAL IS A PERSON TWISTED BY A MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGIOUS BENT

BROUHAHA BROUGHT ABOUT BY OBSERVATIONS OF THE OBSCENE
BRINGING AN OBSESSION TO BLAST TO BITS BEHAVIOR IN BOTH BELTS
BECAUSE OF BEING BEWILDERED BY BOTCHED AND BACKWARD BELIEFS
BIBLE THUMBING BIGOTS BRAGGING ABOUT BIBLICAL BLISS FOR BUCKS
BLEATING REBORN BUMPKINS BABBLE BLATANTLY BIASED BANTER BLINDLY
BOMBASTIC BIGOTS ABUSE BOTH THE BELEAGUERED AND BEFUDDLED
BELLIGERENT AND BELLICOSE BLUSTER BLABBED BY BRAGGING BUFFOONS
BLOWHARDS AND OBNOXIOUS BIGMOUTHS BEGUILE THE BRAIN DEAD AND BORED
BRAGGARTS BELLOW ABOUT A BAD BARGAIN WITH BAGMEN AND BRETHREN
BENT ON BRINGING ABOUT AN UNBELIEVABLY EMBELLISHED OBLIVION
BLOATED, BOOZED UP AND BRAGGING BULLIES BELLOW ABOUT HULLABALOO
BUMS BICKERING ABOUT BULLSHIT AND BELIEVING THEIR OWN BOGUS BRAVADO
BUREAUCRATS ABOVE THE PUBLIC AND BEYOND ANYBODY’S ABILITY TO OBJECT
BARRISTERS AND HAS-BEENS BLUR REALITY WITH BLEMISHED OBSERVATIONS
BLACK HEARTED AND OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR BRINGING ABOUT BITTER BETRAYAL
BURNED OUT BASTARDS BOAST AND BLUSTER AS THEY BLUNDER ABOUT
BESEECHING THE BOGGLED AND BAFFLED WHO ARE BEGUILED BY HULLABALOO
BAMBOOZLED AND BETRAYED BY A BARRAGE OF BADLY BASED BLUFFS AND BLARNEY
BLEAK BIBLICAL BLABBER BRANDISHED BY BONA FIDE BOTTOM DWELLERS
BORDERLINE BRUTES BEHAVING BADLY BURDEN US AND BANKRUPT OUR INNER BEING
BARREN BENEVOLENCE BRINGS BLANK STARES AND BEMUSEMENT BY THE BRAINWASHED

TO BE THOUGHT OF IN A POLITICAL SENSE
NOW IS THE TIME BECAUSE TIMES ARE TENSE

DOCTORS SOMETIMES HAVE TO DELIVER BAD NEWS
BUT LAWYERS SEE A GAME MADE UP OF HIDDEN CLUES

THINKING THEMSELVES CLEAVER WHILE PLAYING THIS GAME
THE WAY TO WIN – IS TO MAKE YOUR OPPONENT LOOK LAME

BUT THE DOCTOR WANTS TO CURE THE LAMENESS AND PREVAIL
BECAUSE NOBODY WINS – IF SOME ARE DOOMED TO FAIL

TOO OFTEN SUCH THOUGHTS ARE JUST INCIDENTAL AND GO UNHEEDED
OH CHANGE WILL COME SOON ENOUGH – WE’LL TELL YOU WHEN IT’S NEEDED

EVEN IF CHANGE IS OBVIOUSLY NEEDED – THEY’LL FIND SOME WAY TO BALK
ADDING KILLER AMENDMENTS TO A BILL OR KILL IT WITH TALK

LAWYERS LOOKING FOR A SCAPEGOAT TO POINT AT AND FIND
SOME NEW ANGLE TO CONFUSE US WITH AND MESS WITH OUR MIND

AND IN SO DOING THEY CAUSE DIVISIONS WHICH THEN LEAD
TO CHAOS, CONFUSION AND APATHY – THE FODDER ON WHICH THEY FEED

BLOATED NOW THEY RUN AMUCK WITH A SENSE OF REALITY QUITE DERANGED
NOW THE DOCTORS IS CONCERNED AND SAYS THE DIET MUST BE CHANGED

BUT THE LAWYER DOESN’T SEE IT THAT WAY – THAT’S NOT WHERE IT’S AT
WHEN YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT YOUR WAY – YOU BECOME A POLITICAL BRAT

AND IF THINGS DON’T GO YOUR WAY – YOU FABRICATE TRUTH WHICH ARE LIES
A POLITICAL STATEMENT IS NOT A REAL FACT – BUT SOMETHING YOU DEVISE

NOT ONLY IS THE BODY OF POLITICS SO UNHEALTHY THAT COLLAPSE IS NEAR
THE MINDS EYE OF THE PEOPLE IS FAILING – BECAUSE THE DECEPTION IS SO CLEAR

HEY ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT HAVE BECOME THE OBJECT
OF SOME BIGOTS SCOFF

I WISH I COULD TELL YOU – TO TELL THEM – HEY MAN
JUST FUCK OFF

BUT THAT WOULD ONLY CREATE MORE MISERY
MORE DESTRUCTIVE STRIFE

SURELY, IT’S OBVIOUS TO ALL BUT THE BIGOT – THERE’S ENOUGH STRIFE
IN THIS LIFE

JUST TAKE AS SOME CONSOLATION – IF YOU CAN
THAT THE BIGOT’S MISERY IS MORE THAN YOURS

FOR YOUR FAMILY’S LOVE WILL HELP YOU
BUT FOR THE BIGOTS’ MISERY THERE ARE NO CURES

THEY LIVE IN A WORLD THAT IS A CUSTOMIZED CATABOLISM
OF THEIR OWN CREATION

IN WHICH THEY WALLOW AND SUFFOCATE WHILE CHOKING
ON THEIR OWN DEFECATION

AND HOPEFULLY – THIS BIGOTRY WILL BECOME A MONSTER EXTINCT
TO END AS A DYING BREED

WHEN THEIR OWN BULLSHIT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT
ON WHICH THE BIGOT WILL FIND TO FEED

In our world there is such beauty all around
but to so many people this just can’t be Found

They think that paradise is in some other place
and with other believers they so viciously race

They pay their dues and say their prayers
while listening to the sooth of popular sayers

They recite the dogma and pass the tray
AS OTHERS TELL THEM WHAT TO PRAY

A First class ticket to heaven is what they want
one of the best seats right up Front

To pray and pay will guarantee them this
confirmed reservations in the land off bliss

That’s right pray and pay your ten-percent
and you’ll be sure that your trip won’t be a descent

The problem is – so many diverse think themselves right
and with other believers they will surely Fight

Kill so it is they who are at God’s feet
while sending to Hell those WHO they defeat

ALL THE MINDLESS PEOPLE SAY ‘PRAISE THE LORD’
PRAISE THE LORD – PRAISE THE LORD
ALL THE MINDLESS PEOPLE SAY PRAISE THE LORD
THE IDEALIST RULE THE DAY

WILL THIS SILLINESS EVER END – TELL ME NOW
EVER END – EVER END
WILL THIS SILLINESS EVER END
OR WILL IT TURN OUT LIKE THEY SAY

AND HOW WILL THIS EFFECT THE WORLD WE’RE IN
THE WORLD WE’RE IN – THE WORLD WE’RE IN
HOW WILL THIS EFFECT THE WORLD WE’RE IN
WILL THERE BE AN ARMAGEDDON DAY

THEY KEEP CALLING FOR CHRIST TO COME
CHRIST TO COME – CHRIST TO COME
THEY KEEP CALLING FOR CHRIST TO COME
THEY SAY THE SECOND COMING IS ON THE WAY

I DON’T KNOW YOU – BUT WHERE’S THAT AT?
WHERE’S THAT AT – WHERE’S THAT AT
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU – BUT WHERE’S THAT AT?
I’M GROOVING ON A SUNNY DAY

I’M INTO LIVING IN THE HERE AND NOW
HERE AND NOW – HERE AND NOW
I’M INTO LIVING IN THE HERE AND NOW
TO ME THAT’S THE WAY

I SAY REALISM IS WHERE IT’S AT
WHERE IT’S AT – WHERE IT’S AT
I SAY REALISM IS WHERE IT’S AT
JUST WAITN’ ON THAT DAY

SO MY PART OF THIS SONG IS OVER NOW
OVER NOW – OVER NOW
SO MY PART OF THIS SONG IS OVER NOW
DO WITH IT WHAT YOU MAY

AND IF YOU PUT IT TO REAL GOOD USE
REAL GOOD USE – REAL GOOD USE
AND IF YOU PUT IT TO REAL GOOD USE
THERE MAY BE A NEW KIND OF A HAPPY DAY

THE PLANET IS BEING SWEPT BY RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM
THEY DON’T REALIZE IT BUT THEY PREPARE THE WORLD FOR REALISM

THEY HAVE SO WARPED THE CONCEPTS THE PROPHETS TOLD US TO BELIEVE
WORDS OF GOODNESS AND HOPE BECOME TOOLS WITH WHICH TO DECEIVE

SAYING THEY HAVE THE ANSWER AND EVERYONE ELSE IS SOMEHOW BAD
UNTIL IT SEEMS THEIR SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS DRIVEN THEM QUITE MAD

LOST IN ZEAL THEY BECOME OBSESSED WITH DESTROYING THOSE THEY OPPOSE
IN WARS OVER RELIGIOUS CONVICTION – FRIENDS CAN EASILY BECOME FOES

NATIONS DIVIDED BY POLITICAL EXPECTATIONS MIXED WITH RELIGIOUS PRIDE
MAKING ENEMIES OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ON THEIR SIDE

MANIACS SCREAMING OUT THAT IT IS ONLY THEY WHO KNOW THE WAY
TO KILL AN ADVERSARY FOR GOD IS THE ADMISSION PRICE TO PAY

SO SURE THEY HAVE THE ANSWERS AND NO ONE ELSE KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL
SO ELIMINATE THE NON-BELIEVERS – THERE IS NO TIME TO STALL

THEY ARE ONLY HERETICS AND LOST FOOLS – THEY SHOULDN’T EVEN BE ALIVE
THESE ARE NOW THE GOALS FOR WHICH GOD WANTS YOU TO STRIVE

WHIPPING FRANTIC FOLLOWERS INTO A FRENZY BECAUSE THE END IS VERY NEAR
FUNNY HOW COMPASSION AND TOLERANCE BECAME HATE AND FEAR

SELF-CENTERED NOBODIES WHO BUY THEIR CLASS
FINDING PLEASURE AND DELIGHT IN ACTING CRASS

ASHAMED OF – BUT SUBCONSCIOUSLY EXHIBITING THEIR PAST
NOT REALIZING THAT THE CHARADE WILL NEVER LAST

SO CAUGHT UP IN PROCLAIMING THAT THEY’RE THE BEST
BUT REALLY THEY’RE NOT EVEN AS GOOD AS THE REST

CONSTANTLY CONVINCING THEMSELVES HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE GREAT
LOST IN THEIR WORLD – NOT REALIZING CONTEMPT IS A FORM OF HATE

IT’S TIME TO GRASP REALITY AND I MEAN NOW
WE THINK THAT GOD IS SOMEWHERE ELSE — BEGUILED BY THE ‘WOW’

BUT GOD IS AT AN AIRPORT IN SIOUX CITY AND IT WAS JUST SO UNREAL
A DC-10 DOES A CARTWHEEL DOWN THE RUNWAY – A FIRE AND ALUMINUM WHEEL

THEN OVER HALF THE NEARLY 300 PEOPLE STUMBLE INTO A CORNFIELD IN A HAZE
TELL ME NOW – THAT’S NOT WILD – THE WORD IS AMAZE

THE LIVING OUTNUMBER THOSE DYING – ALL BECOME DIVINE
EVEN WITH DEATH -THERE IS SOMETHING HERE THAT IS QUITE FINE

NOW THIS IS MORE IN THOUGHT THAN WHAT TO THE EYE IS REAL
BUT LISTEN NOW FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE THIS IS THE DEAL

THAT WE IN OUR HOPE WILL DETERMINE WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE WORLD
WE HAVE TO DO MORE THAN JUST WAIT AS THE COSMIC CARTWHEEL IS TWIRLED

TAKE COMMAND OF YOUR LIFE – AGAINST THE ODDS PREVAIL
TURNING A BLIND EYE OR GIVING UP – WILL BOTH MAKE US FAIL

HEY LISTEN DICKEY SAMMY D
I NEVER ASKED YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS FOR ME
YOUR AGENDA IS ALL ABOUT WHO YOU ARE
YOUR ONLY MOTIVE IS YOUR DESIRE TO BE A STAR
ACTING AS IF YOU’RE ON A MISSION – YOU HAVE CONCERN
LET’S SEE IF THERE IS SOME HIDDEN TRUTHS TO DISCERN
FIXATED ON THE SEGMENT OF SOCIETY WHO LIE ABOUT LIES
ACT AS IF YOU’RE AMAZED BY SUCH AUDACITY BUT THAT’S JUST A GUISE
YOU BICKER WITH THOSE THAT TURN OUT TO BE YOUR OWN KIND
ACTING AS IF YOU’RE SO INDEPENDENT BUT YOU’RE OF THE SAME MIND
BUT MINDLESSNESS IS MORE YOUR STYLE OR MAYBE AN ENTERTAINING BORE
AN OXYMORON FOR SURE BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE AND NOTHING MORE
YOUR TRADEMARK IS BRASHNESS BUT THIS JUST HIDES YOUR IGNORANCE
THE PROBLEM IS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE
THE LESS PEOPLE KNOW THE MORE YOU CAN PLAY THIS PATHETIC GAME
SAM – YOU MAKE ME ANGRY AND IN GENERAL YOU MAKE SOCIETY LAME
YOU ARE ONE OF MANY BUT YOU ARE SO FLAMBOYANT IT MAKES IT EASY
TO CROWN YOU THE LATEST AND POSSIBLY GREATEST KING OF SLEAZY
BUT YOU’RE ON THE TELEVISION – SO YOU’RE FAIR GAME
AND BESIDES THAT – PHYSICALLY – YOU’RE SO EASY TO DEFAME
YOU’RE A PHONY DICK AND YOUR LOOKS MATCH THE PART YOU PLAY
PEAKED EYE BROWS OVER BEADY EYES – IT’S EASY TO MOCK EVERYTHING YOU SAY
BUT WAIT A MINUTE NOW IT SEEMS AS IF I AM PLAYING YOUR VISCOUS GAME
I’LL SAY IT – WILL YOU – TO STOOP TO A VINDICTIVE LEVEL IS JUST A SHAME
LET’S GET BACK TO THIS RANT AND ISSUE AT HAND
WHICH IS TO DEAL WITH THE SICKNESS THAT HAS EVOLVED ON THIS LAND
TO JUST BE CONTRARY IS NOT GOOD – IT’S A FATAL FAD
YOU SHOULD LEARN THAT IT’S NOT COOL TO ALWAYS BE A CAD
TO EXPRESS AN OPINION THAT IS AT BEST A DECEPTION
LEAVES ONE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DEAL IN MISCONCEPTION
LOOK YOU JUST LEAVE PEOPLE CONFUSED
THE BABBLE THAT YOU SPOUT IS EASILY MISCONSTRUED
IN YOUR QUEST TO MAKE YOUR NAME
ALL THAT CAN BE SAID IS ‘WHAT A SHAME’

TO CONDONE POPULATION EXPLOSION AND IGNORANCE
TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE FLOCK

IS NOT ONLY MYOPIC AND SINISTER
BUT SHOULD BE FOUND SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CROCK AND DEFROCK

SHORT SIGHTED SCENARIOS AND CONTEMPTIBLE CONCEPTS
DO US NO GOOD – IN FACT THEY DO US HARM

NOW IS THE TIME WITH THE WORLD OUTLOOK CHANGING SO FAST
TO SOUND OUT THE SURVIVAL ALARM

IDEALS FROM THE PAST SHOULD BE SEEN AS A FOUNDATION
A BASE ON WHICH TO BUILD ANEW

BUT NOT AS RULES CAST IN STONE – NEVER TO CHANGE
THAT ONLY ENHANCES THE FEW

WE NEED TO FIND AGREEMENTS ON CONCEPTS
THAT PROMOTE THE HUMAN RACE

AND THE LONGER WE WAIT TO EMBRACE OUR EXISTENCE
THE MORE TIME WE WASTE

TIME COULD BE CRITICAL FOR THE CHRISTIANS
AS WELL AS EVERYONE HERE NOW AND THOSE YET TO COME

WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WORLD AS A PLACE FOR US ALL
NOT JUST SOME PLAY FOR PARADISE PRACTICED BY SOME

NOT TO BE IRREVERENT BUT IT IS TIME TO GO BEYOND THE COFFERS
AND THE LIST OF THOSE ON YOUR SIDE

IF WE DON’T ADMIT TO OUR PLANETARY UNITY AND COMMON PREDICAMENT
WE WILL CONTINUE SPOUTING RHETORIC WHICH ONLY SERVES TO DIVIDE

I’VE HAD IT WITH HEROES – KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT’S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT SEEMS SO OBSCENE

EVANGELICAL PRANKSTERS OFFER SALVATION – THEN SOLICIT SEX
HAS TO MAKE YOU WONDER JUST WHAT IN THE WORLD IS COMING NEXT

AND THEN OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS DON’T EVEN PRACTICE WHAT THE PREACH
THEY SHOULD BE SEEN FOR WHAT THEY ARE WHICH IS A TYPE OF CULTURAL LEECH

THEN THESE MALE ROCK STARS DRESSED AS GIRLS AND THINK THEMSELVES SO CUTE
TO SEE THIS AS DEGENERATE TO OUR SOCIETY – YOU NEED NOT BE VERY ASTUTE

THE IMAGE OF A HANDSOME MOVIE STAR STOKES THE GIRLS’ EMOTIONAL FIRE
BUT THE BACKSIDE OF ANOTHER MALE IS WHAT THE MOVIE STAR DESIRES

BELIEVERS MESMERIZED LISTENING TO SOME LUDICROUS FABRICATION
THEN CHAMPIONED BY DISCIPLES DRIVEN BY A DEADLY DEDICATION

CULTURAL MISFITS AND EGOMANIACS ARE THOUGHT UNIQUE
AND THIS MAKES OUR FUTURE OUTLOOK VERY BLEAK

WE MUST STOP BEING SO DENSE
AND MAKE SOME SENSE

NOW!

MOST EVERYONE WANTS TO FIND ANSWERS AND CREATE A HAPPY SOUL
HUMAN INTERACTION AND COMMUNICATION IS HOW WE ACHIEVE THIS GOAL

TAKE THE CHANCE TO EXPLAIN YOUR EXPERIENCE THE BEST YOU CAN
BUT DON’T TRY TO SHOVE IT DOWN THE THROAT OF YOUR FELLOW MAN

SADLY – TOO OFTEN THIS IS THE WAY IN WHICH WE PRACTICE RELIGION TODAY
ONE CONVINCES ONE’S SELF OF A BELIEF – THEN THINKS IT’S THE ONLY WAY

BUT BY ACTING DISMISSIVE AND CONDESCENDING TO ANY OTHER QUEST
YOU PUT YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH – INSTEAD OF FORWARD WITH YOUR BEST

YOU BECOME OVERBEARING AND BETRAY THE VALIDITY OF YOUR BELIEF
GUARANTEEING YOUR INTERACTION WITH THINKING PEOPLE WILL BE BRIEF

I STAND ACCUSED OF MY OWN ACCUSATION AND HAVE INCRIMINATED MYSELF
WE ALL MUST TAKE STOCK OF OUR LIVES – BY DELVING INTO OUR SELF

WE SUFFER SICK THEOLOGY THAT’S GONE EPIDEMIC
BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T THINK – BUT ONLY MIMIC

WE MUST CLEAN UP TAINTED CONCEPTIONS
PLUG INTO POWERFUL NEW CONNECTIONS

ENERGIZE OUR MINDS AND THEN CONCLUDE
TO LIVE LIFE WITH A MORE POSITIVE ATTITUDE

THE PROCESS OF LIFE IS BEING DISRUPTED
BY A VISION THAT IS BEING CORRUPTED

BY FOOLS WHO FOLLOW FOOLS WHO RAVE
ABOUT ALL THE LOST SOULS THEY CAN SAVE

PERSONAL SATISFACTION BECOMES PARAMOUNT
AS FALSE HOPE AND SELF GRATITUDE MOUNT

BECAUSE INSTEAD OF ELEVATING OUR INSPIRATION
WE NOW FACE INSPIRATIONAL DEPRAVATION

MINDS STARVED BY ‘THEO-MANIACS’ WHO RAIL
YOU ARE WORTHY ONLY IF YOU FALL AND FAIL

BEING LOST, BROKEN OR HAVE SOME HABIT TO KICK
AS IF TO FIND SALVATION YOU HAVE TO BE EMOTIONALLY SICK

RECITING DOGMA
TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD

LIVING LIKE SHEEP
DOING WHAT THEY’RE TOLD

PREDICTING HELL
IF YOU DON’T PLAY THEIR GAME

FOLLOWING THE LEADER
LOST IN THE SEDUCTION OF FAME

NEVER REALIZING
THE FOOLISHNESS OF THE QUEST

SELF DELUSION
IS FEELING SUPERIOR TO THE REST

CONDEMNING OTHERS
WITH AN AIR OF SMUG ARROGANCE

PEACEFUL COMPASSION
HAS MUTATED TO RELIGIOUS DOMINANCE

SPIRITUALLY DEPRIVED
THE FOLLOWERS ACT LIKE A MENTAL MOB

NEVER REALIZING
IT IS OUR FUTURE THAT THEY ROB

Who needs the heartache – I mean why persevere
so Foolish when peace and TRANQUILITY is quite near

Who needs the misery – the bullshit – the crap people pump
when all they want you to be is some dumb and gullible chump

Thinking all they have to do is hand you a real cool line
and like a quaint child you’ll think every thing is just Fine

Then they’ll use you and make you Feel quite lost
and you’ll realize it wasn’t worth the cost

Remember though – your gullibility made them able
to dazzle you with some enchanting Fable

So really it’s your own naive Frame of mind
that your VULNERABILITY IS easy to Find

THE drag IS that For SUCH people we must be alert
From a trusting Frame of mind we must desert

To survive we must live as the discontented choose to
so the masses must act like a Few misfits do

Is that where we are today – I ask you quite plain
please people – I beg of you – don’t act with disdain

(ABOUT A SETTING SUN AND RISING CONSCIOUSNESS)

JUST SITTING HERE ON THE PLANET AS WE SPIN
TO CATCH THE SUN SETTING INTO A HAZY HORIZON

BEHIND ME THERE IS A THREE-QUARTER MOON
A FEW HOURS PAST ITS OWN RISEN’

JUST WANTED TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT WITH YOU
A QUESTION RIGHT AT THE TOP OF MY WONDER LIST

THE QUESTION IS – WILL MANKIND EVER ARRIVE
AT A POINT WERE THEY PEACEFULLY COEXIST

IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO SEE THAT WE ARE ALL THE SAME
ALL RULED BY THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCE

IT’S NOT LIKE IN ORDER TO REALIZE THIS
WE HAVE TO BE IN SOME KIND OF TRANCE

THEN ANOTHER QUESTION JUMPS FROM MY THOUGHTS
AS THE SUN BECOMES A BRIGHT ORANGE DOME

ARE THERE OTHER SUNS AROUND WHICH OTHER PLANETS SPIN
WHICH OTHER BEINGS CALL THEIR HOME

DO PLANET GROW BEINGS SO THAT THEY CAN RECOGNIZE THEMSELVES
AND FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE

THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE NOW – DON’T JUST DISMISS THE THOUGHT
IT’S NOT REALLY OUT THERE THAT FAR

THIS HAS HAPPENED HERE – SURELY IN THE ZILLION OTHER STARS
A SIMILAR SCENE HAS COME ABOUT

THE THOUGHT IS REALLY NOT THAT OUTRAGEOUS
PERSONALLY I HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE NO DOUBT

MAYBE WHEN WE REALIZE THAT WE ARE ALL THE SAME
THE PEOPLE AND THE PLANET TOO

WE’LL HAVE A REAL REVOLUTION
THINK OF IT AS THE ULTIMATE COUP

DO WE LIVE IN A DREAM WORLD?
FROM WHICH WE WON’T AWAKE
DO WE REALIZE HOW TRAGIC IT WILL BE
IF WE MAKE THE BIG MISTAKE
AN UNREAL AND MISUNDERSTOOD EXISTENCE
OUR OWN CUSTOMIZED FAKE
WHAT KIND OF SOBERING REALIZATION
IS IT GOING TO TAKE
SO THAT OUT OF THIS NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE
WE WILL QUICKLY AWAKE
LIKELY THOUGH WE WILL GO ON NOT REALIZING
THAT OUR EXISTENCE IS AT STAKE
WHO WILL BE SO BOLD AS TO GRAB US BY THE BRAIN
AND GIVE US A GOOD SHAKE
TO SNAP US OUT OF OUR DEADLY SLUMBER
FOR THE FUTURE’S SAKE

FOR IF WE STALL AND WAIT TOO LONG
THE HOW OF THE WAKENING WILL COME TOO LATE
FOR THIS DREAM THAT HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE
WELL BE THE SAME AS OUR AWAKENED STATE
WITH THIS THEN BY OUR OWN FREE WILL
WE SHALL HAVE SEALED OUR FATE
SEALED WITH THE GLUE OF APATHY, COMPLACENCY
AND JUST PLAIN HATE
AND BEFORE WE HAVE REALIZED THAT OUR MINDS
ARE IN AN ATROPHIED STATE
WE WILL HAVE WALKED DOWN THE PATH TO DESTRUCTION
WE’VE ALREADY OPENED THE GATE
AND IF WE CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH
IT WILL BE OBLIVION WITH WHOM WE HAVE A DATE
SO – IF POSSIBLE – IN FACT WITHOUT DOUBT
LET’S MAKE REALITY AND THE WORLD EQUATE

KEEP IN MIND THOUGH THAT THERE IS NOTHING
THAT IS REALLY ‘FOR SURE’
THERE ARE NO QUICK ANSWERS OR FORMULAS
NO SUCH THING AS A QUICK CURE
PEOPLE USUALLY RESPOND TO THESE PROBLEMS
WITH A CONDITIONED DEMURE
ANY KIND OF ANSWER – FOR SOME REASON
IS MADE TO SEEM OBSCURE
OR MOCKED BY FOOLS OR CALLED BLASPHEMY
BY THE PIOUS PURE
BECAUSE PROMISES OF HEAVEN – AN OTHER WORLD PARADISE
IS A VERY SEDUCTIVE LURE
BUT REACH WAY DOWN DEEP INTO YOUR INNER SELF
AND WITH YOUR SELF SINCERELY CONCUR
DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE AND SEAL OUR FATE
BY THINKING YOURSELF TOO PURE

I have this dilemma – can you help me OUT?
it’s just this question I HAVE – this nagging doubt
IF and when Armageddon occurs – WILL it and World War III coincide
if that’s the CASE – then I won’t have to run and hide
Standing THERE – atomic vapor briefly – a misty Form of me
isn’t that what the ultimate heavenly thrill will be
Then we’ll get the answer to the big question of where we go
just a vapor second in which we will have time to know
What I want to know then — is when I come Forward to get my nod
how many others will be there in the presence of God
Not to seem irreverent — but surely he’ll make the Final decision
in that vapor second – will there be time For any division
Oh so many people – a million in a blast or two easy
THE REAL COOL SINNER – STANDING NEXT to the WISE MAN LOOKING SO SLEAZY
The cool guy thinks he’s got it made – the cleanliness trip
there’s no contest between him and this disgusting drip
Would either have time – if they CHOSE to complain
would there be any time at all to explain
Maybe that’s the angel’s DUTY – TO keep up with the chores
to keep track of everyone – to keep all the scores
IT’S A ROUGH TEST SURELY – EVEN JESUS WAS WITH SIN
SO YOU WON’T HAVE TO HAVE A PERFECT SCORE TO WIN
YOUR BEST BET – IF YOU CAN REMEMBER – IS TO ADMIT IT ALL
JUST BLURT IT OUT – LET IT BE KNOWN – THERE IS NO TIME TO STALL
THE SWIFT SWORD OF JUDGMENT IS BEFORE YOU – THE LIGHTENING SWORD
MUCH TIME FOR INDECISION – YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO AFFORD
SO MY DILEMMA IS – WILL THE ANGELS HELP OUT – AS A GODLY GUIDE
TO MAKE SURE THAT GOD’S DECREE WE DO ABIDE
AND WHEN WE SEE THEM ON THAT FAITHFUL – OR FATEFUL DAY
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW – WILL THEIR WINGS GET IN THE WAY?

USUALLY IT WILL POP UP WHEN LEAST EXPECTED
SO WITH THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IT IS SELDOM CONNECTED

SO WE CONTINUE ON – AT TIME ACTING AS IF WE’RE QUITE MAD
THE FACT THAT THE ANGER COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IS WHAT SO SAD

IF WE RECOGNIZE THE TROUBLE IN THE BEGINNING AND PROCESS IT THEN
IT WON’T KEEP POPPING UP LATER – AGAIN AND AGAIN

BUT WE DON’T – SO WE SIT AROUND IN SOLITUDE AND WONDER WHAT TO DO
BUT THE ANSWERS ARE ELUSIVE BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE A CLUE

THE PROBLEM IS NOT WHAT WE SHOULD DO BUT WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE
WHEN PEACE OF MIND IS HARD TO FIND – LIKE A CULPRIT ON THE RUN

DESPERATE NOW – ANGRY AND CONFUSED WITH NO WARNING SIGNS TO HEED
SO MISTAKEN PRESUMPTIONS AND DEFENSIVE REACTIONS INCREASE THE NEED

TO HIDE BEHIND IMAGINED WALLS OF ISOLATION AND PRETEND WE DON’T CARE
BUT THE WALL SOON OBSCURES THE WORLD AND IN ORDER TO SEE WE MUST STARE

AND THEN THAT WALL BECOMES A MIRROR AND YOUR REFLECTION IS ALL YOU SEE
NEVER LETTING ONTO TO OTHERS OUTSIDE THE WALL WHO WE TRULY MIGHT BE

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND LIKE FORTRESSES UNDER ATTACK
NEVER EVEN BOTHERING TO FIGURE OUT WHY BECAUSE WE NEVER LOOK BACK

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE LIKE THIS AND FIGURE A WAY OUT
PROCEED DOWN THE PATH OF TRANQUILITY WITHOUT HESITATION OR DOUBT

IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT THE REASON FOR ANGER AND PROCESS IT AT THE TIME
ON EMOTIONAL DOCTORS AND COSMIC CHARLATANS WE WON’T SPEND A DIME

I HAVE TO STICK IT OUT – BUT REALLY I HAVE MY DOUBT
IF I’LL EVER SHAKE OFF THE TAINT OF THOSE SELFISH VIEWS
REVELING I SELF INDULGENCE AND GREED – CONFUSING THIS WITH NEED
NEVER PUTTING TOGETHER THE OBVIOUS CLUES
THAT SHOW THE FOLLY OF EXCESS – WHEN IT IS CONFUSED WITH SUCCESS
OBNOXIOUS ACTING SNOBS WILL PAY THEIR DUES
JUSTICE IS WHEN THEY FAIL – AT EACH OTHER THEY VAINLY WAIL
AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT TO LOSE
THEN WHEN IT IS ALL DONE – AND THERE IS NO PLACE TO RUN
THERE IS NOTHING TO DO BUT EXCEPT THE BAD NEWS
THAT EVERYONE IS EQUAL AND FREE – AND THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE
SO NOW ONE WILL HAVE THE BLUES
KEEP THIS IN MIND – AND YOU MAY FIND
THAT YOUR LIFE WON’T GET BAD REVIEWS

IT’S TIME TO SNAP OUT OF IT AND I MEAN SOON
OR ELSE THIS PLANET WILL BEGIN TO RESEMBLE THE MOON

JUST TAKE WHAT EVER WE WANT AND THROW THE TOXINS AROUND
MACHINES ADDING UP PROFITS IS OUR FAVORITE SOUND

UNCONCERNED WITH THE WORLD AROUND US – LIVING LIFE UNAWARE
GETTING TO HEAVEN OR AHEAD AT ANY COST – TO MANY IS THE ONLY CARE

IT’S NOT AS IF WE’RE BAD OR STUPID – THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN TAUGHT
IN PAST MISCONCEPTIONS AND UNNATURAL ACTS WE ARE NOW CAUGHT

WE NEED TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT WE DO NOT YET COMPREHEND
TO FUTURE GENERATIONS A NEW DIRECTIVE – WE SHOULD SEND

THAT WE CONTROL OUR DESTINY BY THE DECISION THAT WE MAKE
AND WE MUST BE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTION THAT WE TAKE

LOOK – GOD IS THE SUM TOTAL OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF US ALL
THERE IS NO HEAVENLY REWARD AND NO HELL IN WHICH TO FALL

HELL IS A RUINED PLANET THAT IS INCAPABLE OF SUSTAINING LIFE
HEAVEN IS A PLACE THAT HAS DONE AWAY WITH RELIGIOUS STRIFE

A MIND SET THAT PUTS US ON A PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE IS A START
KNOWING THAT WITH THE FABRIC OF LIFE – WE ARE A PART

WE‘RE NOT SEPARATE FROM LIFE ON THIS PLANET – WE ARE THE VOICE
WE HAVE THE FREE WILL AND THE FREEDOM TO MAKE A CHOICE

THE CHOICE TO BE WISE AND MAKE DECISIONS THAT WILL PERPETUATE
OUR FUTURE EXISTENCE RATHER THAN JUST LEAVING IT TO FATE

TAKE A LOOK – IF YOU PLEASE
SHARPEN YOUR VISION – FULFILL THE NEED
THE NEED TO SEE
IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE ARE JUST SLEEP WALKING
NOT WATCHING
WE LOOK – BUT IT DOESN’T REGISTER
IS OUR VISION BLURRED?
HAS THE THOUGHT EVER OCCURRED
THAT WE MUST MAKE A DECISION
THAT WE MUST ENVISION
A WORLD MEANT TO LAST
START A NEW REVIVAL
A REVIVAL OF VISION
MAKE A DECISION
DECIDE TO PROVIDE
PROVIDE A FUTURE
NURTURE OUR SURVIVAL
SOME IDEAS MAY SEEM SIMPLE
BIG WAVES BEGIN AS A RIPPLE
STIR UP THE WORLD
MAKE A CHANGE
EXTEND YOUR RANGE
SHARPEN YOUR PERCEPTION
DON’T BE DECEIVED
BY CLEAVER DECEPTION
USED BY THE USERS
MENTAL ABUSERS
FAKE ‘KNOWERS’
THE SILENT MAJORITY MUST TAKE A STAND
BECOME VOCAL AND VISIBLE
IT IS TIME ONCE AGAIN
TO BECOME INDIVISIBLE

WE DWELL ON THE UGLY SIDE WITH DIVISION AND HATE
WILL UNAWARENESS AND FEAR ALWAYS TO BE OUR FATE
CAN FATE BE INFLUENCED BY REALITY – OR WHAT?
OR ARE WE DOOMED TO BE STUCK IN A RHETORICAL RUT
WHERE MEGALOMANIACS AND SOUL ROBBERS ABOUND
PEOPLE’S MINDS BEING RAPED IS A SILENT SOUND
NOT TO ACT AS IF THE WHOLE OUTLOOK IS DISMAL
BUT THE THEOLOGICAL PITFALLS ARE BECOMING ABYSMAL
FUNDAMENTALISTS SEE A WORLD DRIVEN BY FRIGHT
TO SEE LIFE AS THEATER OF TEMPTATION IS NOT TOO BRIGHT
IF WE PLEASE THE CREATOR IT’S HEAVEN WHERE WE DWELL
BUT IF WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE SCRIPT JUST RIGHT – IT’S HELL
PRETTY HARD WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY SCRIPTS TO FOLLOW
LACK OF GOOD DIRECTION MAKES THE WHOLE STORY LINE HOLLOW
TO THROW AWAY OR USE THE PLANET LIKE A DISPOSABLE STAGE
IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER – IN FACT IT SHOULD INCITE RAGE
AS FOR THE DIABOLICAL DUNDERHEAD DEMANDING DOOM
FOR THAT KIND OF THOUGHT – THERE IS JUST NO MORE ROOM
DEAD-END DELUSIONS BY IDEOLOGICAL INGRATES AND THEIR KIND
ONLY SERVE TO PUT THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD IN MORE OF A BIND
MATERIALISTIC FIXATION AND SPIRITUAL STAGNATION LEAD TO OUR DEMISE
OUR PLANET IS BEING SPOILED BECAUSE WE’RE IN A LOST WORLD OF LIES
WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR FUTURE – AND THAT MEANS EVERYONE NOW
REVEL IN OUR EXISTENCE ON THIS PLANET – DIRECTOR OF DOOM – TAKE YOUR BOW

FREAK FOR CONTROL
COLLECTOR OF SOULS
TWISTED PERCEPTION
SLAVE TO DECEPTION
NO MATTER THE COST
NO MATTER WHAT’S LOST
CONTEMPT FOR OTHER’S THOUGHT
IN FAVOR OF SALVATION THAT IS BOUGHT
SELLING A WORLD THAT FITS ONLY THEIR CRITERIA
THRIVING BEST UNDER CONDITIONS OF CONTRIVED HYSTERIA
AND WHERE UNQUESTIONED ALLEGIANCE IS DEMANDED
ANY DISSENTERS ARE QUICKLY BACKHANDED
AS THE DOGMATIC BULLY SWAGGERS
QUESTIONERS ARE LAGGERS
IDEAS THEY NEED TO QUELL
MEAN BANISHMENT TO HELL
SET ON A ONE WAY COURSE
THAT POWER LIES IN FORCE
IF NOT SEEN IN THEIR WAY
IT’S A BIG PRICE TO PAY
SO VILE AND MALICIOUS
IGNORANT AND VICIOUS
SELLING HATE AND FEAR
BECAUSE HELL IS NEAR
THE ONLY WAY TO WIN
IS TO CREATE MORE SIN
PEOPLE WHO DO RESIST
ARE ADDED TO THE LIST
OF THOSE TO BE DAMNED
AND THE FLAMES ARE FANNED

JESUS HAS BECOME GOD WITHIN MY TIME AND WE KEEP ON MAKING THESE MISTAKES
BECAUSE IN SO DOING – THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED TO UNTOLD FAKES

BEHOLD THE DIVINE DEVIATES WHO GET OFF SHOOTING THEIR THEOLOGICAL WAD
IF GOD CAN BECOME PHYSICAL – THEN A MAN CAN BECOME GOD

SO SURE IT IS THEY WHO HAVE FIGURED OUT THE ULTIMATE RIDDLE
WAITING FOR ROME TO BURN SO THAT WITH THE ANGLES THEY CAN FIDDLE

BUT THEY ARE FIDDLING WITH OUR FUTURE – AND ALL HUMANITY WILL LOSE
EVEN THOSE WHO FEEL EXEMPT BECAUSE THEY’VE PAID THEIR DUES

THE DUES WE MUST PAY THOUGH ARE THOSE WHICH WILL INSURE OUR SURVIVAL
NOT THE ONES BEGGED FOR BY THOSE WHO MISINTERPRET THE BIBLE

THOSE WHO ENVISION A WORLD THAT WILL BE A POST ARMAGEDDON BLISS
ARE QUITE MISGUIDED AND WITH REALITY THEY ARE TOTALLY AMISS

LIFE HAPPENED ON THIS PLANET AND FREE WILL IS THE KEY TO UNLOCK
THE TRAIN OF THOUGHT THAT LEADS TO THE TRUTH THEY CHOOSE TO MOCK

FREE WILL MEANS WE HAVE THE WILL TO CHOOSE – FREE OF PERSUASION
NOT DICTATED TO BY AN OCCUPYING FORCE DEMANDING TOTAL SUBJUGATION

INDIVIDUALS MUST VIEW THE WORLD WITH A VISION THEY CAN COMPREHEND
MAKE A CONNECTION WITH THE WORLD AND WITH THE WORLD BLEND

KEEP GOD SPIRITUAL – STRIVE TO ATTAIN AWARENESS AND THEN SOON
WE WILL DEVELOP A SENSE – SO THAT WITH THE WORLD WE WILL BE IN TUNE

THEN THERE WILL BE A KIND OF HUM – AND WITH THE WORLD WE WILL MELD
BUT BEFORE THIS CAN HAPPEN – THERE WILL BE MANY BRIDGES TO BUILD

IF WE DON’T DISMISS FROM OUR MINDS THE CONCEPT OF WORLD DESTRUCTION
WE WILL NEVER COMPLETE THE MUCH NEED CONSCIOUSNESS CONSTRUCTION

A SPIRITUAL STRUCTURE MUST BE BUILT IN ORDER TO INSURE OUR SUCCESS
AND IN ORDER TO DO THIS – WE MUST DO AWAY WITH THEOLOGICAL EXCESS

MOVING ON MENTALLY
AND CHANGING WORLD VIEW
IS INTRINSIC

VIEWING THE WORLD TODAY
THROUGH ARCHAIC DOGMA
IS SIMPLISTIC

EXISTING IN THE MODERN WORLD
BUT BLINDED BY ANCIENT LORE
IS DENIAL

DENYING NEW REVELATIONS
IN FAVOR OF THOSE IN THE PAST
IS VILE

USING PAST LESSONS AS A FOUNDATION
ON WHICH TO BUILD
IS FUNDAMENTAL

BUT USING FUNDAMENTALISM AS FAITH
TO REJECT THE NATURAL PROCESS
IS SUICIDAL

SEEING THE WORLD IN SUCH NARROW
SELFISH AND SELF-SERVING TERMS
IS AN ADDICTION

THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE
SUCH A CULTURAL CONDITION
IS AFFLICTION

PAIN, SUFFERING AND DISTRESS ABOUND
WHILE THE MESSAGE OF PEACE
IS SOLD

THE NEGATIVE EFFECT OF SUCH SIMPLISTIC ACTIONS
IN A COMPLEX WORLD
IS UNTOLD

THE REASONS WILL CONTINUE TO GROW
ADD WORDS TO THE LIST SO WE ALL WILL KNOW
THAT THESE ARE FACTORS THAT EXIST INSIDE OF US ALL
UNDERSTANDING THIS WILL HELP MAKE THE BARRIERS FALL
BARRIERS OF DENIAL THAT LEAD PEOPLE TO THINK THEY ARE EXEMPT
TRYING TO BLAME ONLY OTHERS IS A LAME, FRUITLESS AND A FUTILE ATTEMPT

BAD KARMA MANIFESTS EVEN IN THE BRILLIANT IT SEEMS
IDEOLOGICAL BIGOTRY LEAVES A STAIN ON THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY
LITIGIOUS MENTALITY DIMINISHES THE SIMPLICITY OF A SIMPLE LIFE
LOGIC AND REASON ARE LEFT BY THE WAYSIDE FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY
CHAOS ENSUES WHEN POSITION IS USED FOR POLITICAL GAIN AND FAME
LEADING TO A FRAGMENTED AND DIVIDED NATION WITHOUT DUE COURSE
INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENCE WITH SOME PATHETIC PARSE OF SMUG WORDS
NOT TO MENTION HOW THE FIASCO PORTRAYS US IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD
TAWDRY BEHAVIOR THAT DIMINISHES AN OFFICE THAT WAS THE GOAL OF HIS LIFE
OFFENSIVE ACTIONS ILLICIT SINICISM FOR OUR WHOLE FORM OF GOVERNMENT
NARCISSISM THAT RIVALS THE STORIES OF OLD – EVEN NARCISSI HIMSELF
LASCIVIOUS DESIRES THAT CAUSE UNSOUND JUDGMENT AND SELF FANCYING
EGOTISTICAL STUNTS THAT SHOW DISDAIN FOR THE RATIONAL NORM
GONAD DRIVEN DESIRES THAT REDUCE WOMEN TO SEX TOYS
AMBITIONS THAT DISREGARD ANY SEMBLANCE OF CIVIC DUTY
CONTEMPT FOR AUTHORITY TO THE POINT OF LYING EVEN TO HIMSELF
YUCKING TO HIMSELF AND CONVINCED HIS THE GREATEST EVER

THIS IS THE STORY ABOUT BULL SHITN’ BILL
N’ HAS TO DO WITH AN AGENDA TO SELL

YEAH HE HAS THE ANSWER – HE HAS THE SOLUTION
BUT TELL ME SIR – DO YOU HAVE THE CURE FOR POLITICAL POLLUTION?

THE BATTLE WITH THE BEAR HAS LEFT US IN SHAMBLES
BUT BILL JUST TALKS IN A RHETORICAL RAMBLE

THE TRUTH BENT SOON BECOMES A PATRICIAN FACT
WHEN IN DOUBT – STATE THE OBVIOUS – SEEMS TO BE BILL’S TACT

WHINING ABOUT THE LAST TWELVE YEARS HAS GOTTEN A BIT OLD
FORGETTING COMPLETELY WHO WON THE WAR THAT WAS COLD

ACTING AS IF THE STRATEGY WAS STUPID AND NOT RELEVANT AT ALL
AS IF EVERYONE IS A GULLIBLE FOOL – BOY DOES HE HAVE THE GALL

ALL HIS CRONIES SHUCK AND COMPLAIN ABOUT A SITUATION THEY CREATED
AND WHEN REAL CHANGE COMES – IT’S REALLY SOMETHING THEY SLATED

TELLING FOOLS WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR AND LYING TO THE REST
LAYING DOWN LINES WORTHY OF AN ANNUAL ‘IGNORANT-FEST’

BUT THIS GOES ON EVERYDAY RATHER THAN JUST ONCE A YEAR
SOWING POLITICAL INTOLERANCE AND REAPING A HARVEST OF FEAR

TAPPING LOW EMOTIONS AND THEN ACTING QUITE CUTE
BUT THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT A POLITICAL BRUTE

LOOK WE NEED MORE THAN THE USE OF WORDS AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR DEEDS
SELF INDULGENT NARCISSISM IS WEAR THAT LITTLE LINE LEEDS

AND ULTIMATELY TO CYNICISM – BECAUSE WORDS ARE JUST TALK
‘CAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO REASONS FOR DECISIONS – THESE ROOSTERS JUST SQUAWK

DE LANDA – YOU ZEALOUS FOOL
FOR GOD AND COUNTRY YOU TRIED TO BE SO COOL

BURN’M WITH FIRE AND CUT’M WITH STEEL
IT MAKE NO DIFFERENCE HOW THEY FEEL

THEY ARE ALL SUB-HUMAN AND NOTHING MORE
LIVING ONLY ON SOME PAGAN LORE

SO YOU BURNED ALL THEIR RECORDS AND WIPED OUT THE PAST
BUT IN SO DOING YOU CREATED A MYSTERY AND MADE OUR MISERY LAST

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE RIGHT BY YOUR OWN JUSTIFICATION
WHILE ALL THE TIME PRONOUNCING THEIR DAMNATION

BUT THEY IN THEIR OWN WAY HAVE SOMEHOW PREVAILED
WHILE YOU AND YOUR KIND HAVE SO OFTEN FAILED

THE BELIEF IN YOUR GOD JUSTIFYING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DESTROYED – YOU THOUGHT YOU WON

BUT THE TIME SHALL COME WHEN YOUR SINS SHALL BE SEEN
AND YOU WILL BE KNOWN BY THE NAME OF FIEND

UNTIL THAT TIME THOUGH MANY WILL THINK YOU RIGHT
BUT IN THE END THEY WILL NOT HAVE SEEMED TOO BRIGHT

MEANWHILE – THE REST OF US ARE SICK WITH FRIGHT…..

AH-HUH – YOU COUNTED YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCHED
SUDDENLY IT’S THE REAL WORLD – AND AWAY YOUR DREAMS WERE SNATCHED

BUT OH YOU’RE LOOKING SO DOWN

SUCH VISIONS OF GRANDEUR – OF WHAT YOU COULD HAVE EASILY HAD
BUT NOW IT’S NIGHTMARES – AND IT ALL SEEMS SO UGLY AND BAD

WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR FACE NOW – IS THAT A FROWN

THE WORLD WAS SO COLORFUL – UP THERE HIGH ASTRIDE THAT RAINBOW
ALL WAS SO WELL ORDERED – BUT NOW YOUR LAID SO LOW

EVERYTHING JUST SEEMS SO DIRTY AND BROWN

MANSIONS – TENNIS – GOLF – LIVING ON THE HOG – WAY UP HIGH
IT SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY – AT LEAST UNTIL YOU DIE

BUT WHAT’S THIS NOW – YOU’RE MOVING TO THE LOW RENT PART OF TOWN

YOUR JEWELS AND MATERIALISM – YOU’LL HAVE TO CASH THEM IN
DOING ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ONCE SEEMED LIKE SUCH A SIN

WHAT’S THAT A STAIN ON YOUR SILKEN GOWN

SUDDENLY NOW YOU’RE BY YOURSELF – NO ONE AROUND TO CHEER
ALONE IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT – YOU WANT SUPPORT NOT THIS FEAR

YOU FEEL AS IF LIFE IS JUST A CIRCUS – AND YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A CLOWN

KIDS SEE AURAS – ANIMALS DO TOO
THERE MOSTLY MISSED BY ME AND YOU

OH THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DO SEE THEM – THEY DO EXIST
BUT THERE AREN’T MANY – IT’S NOT A LONG LIST

YOU SEE – WE’VE DULLED OUR SENSES IN ORDER TO BE CIVILIZED
NOW MATERIALISM AND CONFORMITY ARE WHAT’S HIGHLY PRIZED

SO MANY VIEWING THE WORLD WITH A SELF-CENTERED ATTITUDE
HOW WE TREAT OTHERS DEPENDS MOSTLY ON OUR MOOD

DRIVEN BY MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HOW THINGS SHOULD BE
SOMETIMES CATCHING A GLIMPSE OF REALITY BUT WE DON’T REALLY SEE

FAILING TO APPRECIATE THE WORLD THAT SURROUNDS US ALL
WE USE OUR OPINIONS TO CREATE A PROTECTIVE PERSONAL WALL

DIVIDING OURSELVES FROM OUR FELLOW BEINGS – WARY TO BE CLOSE
WE’VE CREATED A WORLD EVILS – OUR OUTLOOK IS MOROSE

SO CONFUSED AND MISLED BY FANTASIES ABOUT THIS LIFE
CONTEMPT IS COMMON AND ARROGANCE IS RIFE

WITH POSITION AND WEALTH THOUGH WE THINK YOU’VE GOT IT MADE
BUT EVEN GOLD IN THE GREEDY HAND SOMEHOW SEEMS TO FADE

AS WITH THE GOLD – THE SOUL ALSO LOSES ITS GLOW
BUT AS WE DROOL OVER OUR POSSESSIONS WE’LL SAY THIS JUST ISN’T SO

SO WE GO AMASSING MORE POWER AND MONEY TO PROVE WHO WE ARE
BLINDED BY ALL THE BULLSHIT UNTIL WE’VE GONE TOO FAR

I JUST CAN’T LET THINGS REST
EVEN THOUGH THINGS ARE JUST GREAT
I WOULD NEVER SAY IT WAS OK

EVEN THOUGH I’M A SELF-CENTERED FOOL
IT’S NOT ME – IT’S THE WORLD
THAT MADE ME THIS WAY

I TAKE MYSELF VERY SERIOUSLY
REALLY I DO – IT’S OTHER PEOPLE
WHO’S LIVES I THINK ARE PLAY

I DON’T KNOW MUCH YOU SEE
BUT JUST SAY ANYTHING AT ALL
AND I’LL CREATE A VERBAL FRAY

I’D OBJECT IF YOU SAID IT WAS THE TWILIGHT HOUR
SCOFFING I WOULD POINT OUT
THAT IT WAS JUST THE END OF DAY

I MIGHT SNEER AT YOUR COMMENT IF
YOU SAID IT WAS A NICE MORNING
THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE AT NIGHT ANYWAY

I’LL ALWAYS DO JUST EXACTLY WHAT I LIKE
NO MATTER WHAT IT IS
OR WHAT PRICE THERE IS TO PAY

BUT I’LL GIVE ANYONE A CHANCE
TO ATTACK MY REASONS
YOU’VE GOT THIRTY SECONDS TO HAVE YOUR SAY
