Lyrics Convention Prevention - Ten Years After

Convention Prevention

I’d like to reach out to you — and learn just how do you do So we can still relate.
I’d like to open my mind — so you can come in and find
How we communicate.
There’s a chemical reaction — and it’s causing an attraction
From you to me.
I am not one for convention — but I have a good intention
For you from me.
Rain is fallin’and a thunderbolt is crashin’through my head,
And there’s people and pain all around me.
Someone is callin’and electric sparks are everywhere I tread.
My life it seems is a sequence of dreams,
And there’s people and pain all around me.
I’m going down in a black elevator
'cause the big masturbator’s got his eye on me.
I’m goin’down 'cause my brain is on fire
and my soul is a liar 'cause I tried to be free,
tried to be free, tried to be free.
Freedom in your mind — you can have when you’re dead,
Freedom in your life just depends on you’re head.
Freedom in you’re heart — can, alas, never be because no one on this earth has been born to be free,
born to be free, born to be free.
All of my life I have tried to be free,
All of my life — I have learned all I see.
All of my life — I have searched for a clue;
All of my life I have tried to be true,
tried to be true, tried to be true.
