Against the Grain |
| Three thousand miles of wilderness overcome by the flow, |
| A lonely restitution of pavement, pomp and show, |
| I seek a thousand answers, I find but one or two, |
| I maintain no discomfiture, my path again renewed, |
| Against the grain, that’s where I’ll stay, |
| Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain, |
| Here labelled as a lunatic, sequestered and content, |
| There ignored and defeated by the government, |
| There’s an oriented public whose magnetic force will pull, |
| But away from the potential of the individual, |
| Against the grain, that’s where I’ll stay, |
| Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain, |
| The flow is getting stronger with small increments of time |
| And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find, |
| You need all that the other has, it’s your right to seize the day |
| But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away, |
| Against the grain, that’s where I’ll stay, |
| Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain, |
| There’s a common consensus and an uncomfortable cheer, |
| A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear, |
| It sings 'leave your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously,' |
| This lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly, |
| Against the grain, that’s where I’ll stay, |
| Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain, |
| Against the grain, against the grain, |
| Against the grain |
