Thru The Rhythm - Original |
Thru the rhythm of darkened times |
Painted black by knowledge crimes |
And repetitions pointless mime |
Instilling values the sick define |
That keeps the fabric that keeps you blind |
And ties your hands and cloaks your mind |
But on my stilts, I’m above the slime |
Come on up if you can make the climb, but who am I? |
Who am I? |
Who am I? |
I’ve smelled the stench from the fumes that rise |
From the books that rehash the same old lies |
I felt the panic that they disguise |
In the forms of laws of every size |
I’ve heard the teachers whine and make me drop out like flies |
But you know they teach you nonsense, cause they can’t blind your eyes |
I’ve seen the fools gold that they pawn off as their prize |
To the average standard the norm supplies, but where am I? |
Where am I? |
Where am I? |
You’ve gobbled all the blessings they caused you to digest |
They may be hard to swallow, but they keep your tongue depressed |
Your scattered whims were born depressed |
So when something slams your chest |
You flutter about, you’re sleek distressed |
And when you stop to ease your breast |
A scattered rim leaves you obsessed |
While solid thoughts are soon suppressed, but where are you? |
Oh, where are you? |
Hey! |
Where are you? |
Where are you? |
Where are you? |
