00:00The
00:20Thugness at the break at noon
00:22Shadows even though silver spoon
00:24A handmade blade, the child's balloon
00:26Eclipses both the sun and moon
00:28To understand, you know, too soon
00:30There is no sense in trying
00:32Body threats, they bluff with scorned
00:41Syracide remarks are torn
00:43From the foos' gold mouthpiece, I holler, hon
00:45Place wasted words and prove the one
00:47He's not busy being born, he's busy dying
00:49Lemptations, peace flies down the door
00:58You follow, find yourself at war
01:00Watch waterfalls, a pity roar
01:02Feel the moan, but unlike before
01:04You discover that you'll just be one more person crying
01:07Don't fear, if you hear that fun sound
01:19In your ear, it's all right, ma
01:24I'm only saying
01:26Some more victory, some down pull
01:34Private reason's great as fall
01:36Can't be seen in the eyes of those who call
01:38Make all that shit be killed to crawl
01:40As I say, don't hate nothing at all except for hatred
01:43Disillusioned words are like bullets bark
01:51Human gods in for the mark
01:53Make everything from toy guns that spark
01:55From flesh-colored plants that blow in the dark
01:57Easy to see without looking too far
01:59Not much is really sacred
02:01Preachers feeds of evil fates
02:10Teachers teach the knowledge weights
02:12Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
02:13Goodness hands behind its gates
02:15He's been the president of the United States
02:17Sometimes we say to stand naked
02:20All the rules of the road
02:27Have been launched
02:29These people's games
02:31You've got to judge
02:34And it's all right, ma
02:36I can make it
02:39Advertising sounds like con
02:46You ain't just thinking it's you the one
02:48I can do what's never been done
02:50I can win what's never been won
02:52Meantime, life outside goes on all around you
02:55You lose yourself and then you reappear
03:01Suddenly find you've got nothing to fear
03:03Alone you stand with nobody near
03:05When a trembling distant voice unclear
03:06Stars you're sleeping is to hear
03:08Somebody thinks that they really have found you
03:10That question any of them lives is lit
03:18Yet you know that there is no answer fit
03:20Can't ask why and say not to quit
03:22Keep it in your mind and don't forget
03:24It ain't here, she, or them are it
03:26That you belong to
03:27Other masters make the rules
03:36Other words, myth, and people
03:39I've got nothing more
03:43to live up to.
03:52Only the judges watch people in Paris
03:54They match it in sex they dare
03:56To push fake mouths insults and stare
03:58Money doesn't talk it swears
04:00I'm sending it to you who really cares
04:02It's propaganda on this phony
04:10They may defend what they cannot see
04:12But it's kind of security
04:14It blows the minds most beautifully
04:16But then they think that
04:17Death's on the street
04:18Won't fall upon them naturally
04:20Life sometimes must get lonely
04:28Eyes collide head on with stuffed graveyards
04:30False goals I scuff at pettiness
04:32Which plays so rough
04:34Look upside down inside handcuffs
04:36Kick my legs to crash it off
04:38Tell right I've had enough
04:40Can you show me
04:48If my thought dreams
04:50Could be seen
04:52They'd probably put my head
04:54In a guillotine
04:56It's alright ma
04:58It's a life and life only
05:00It's a life and life only
