A Spade |
I will not lie down |
On the wrongful ground or play |
While it’s still a radical sound |
Just to call a spade a spade |
Dear friends, women and men |
Please check my math once more |
In the totality of all war’s history |
There’s but one common denominator |
The answer is in the intention |
That lies behind the question |
Put that on your standardized multiple choice |
I mean, how’s this supposed to look to me |
But half of divinity |
Out there trying to make harmony |
With only one voice |
You know I’ve got experience |
Looking right past the obvious |
So I know what is so big and so close |
Is always the hardest stuff |
For us to reckon with |
The hardest stuff to know |
Dear friends, especially the women, |
Tell me are you up to the task? |
Of turning the wheel on human history |
At long last |
The answer is in the intention |
That lies behind the question |
Put that on your standardized multiple choice |
I mean, how’s this supposed to look to me |
But half of divinity |
Out there trying to make harmony |
With only one voice |
I will not lie down |
On the wrongful ground or play |
While it’s still a radical sound |
Just call a spade a spade |
Dear friends, women and men |
What better time to face |
That we’ve been looking for |
The answer to war |
In the wrong place |
