All Things To All Men |
And now it seems |
As if we’re used to the chagrin |
We made our beds |
And now we hate where these beds be |
Took nothing at all to part this red sea |
I’m a shackled child |
Singing the good song of freedom |
They’ve got no pride |
They interrupt our grieving |
Tear drops dropping |
For the pain of the world |
My best friend dies |
When she was just a young girl |
Left me here, to fend for myself |
Now the pain never leaves |
We just learn to cope |
So when the devil needs hanging |
Will you tie up the rope and shout pull |
Let’s put an end to this bull |
Zen thing |
How many years |
Before we practice what we preach |
How many tears |
Before we truly clinch the peak |
Only to find that |
There is no honey on the moon |
Official goon |
With the unofficial croon |
I’m all things to all men |
All of the women |
All the children |
Just say when |
And I’ll take you to my Tardis |
Who’s the hardest |
Who’s the hardest |
16 bar cycles |
Heart felt recital |
From the wacky blacky man |
They should have called me Michael |
Look at the monster you make |
Look at the monster you pay |
But you claim no responsibility |
Cause it’s each to his self |
In these times that we live |
Does god have a sense of humor |
Then the joke’s on us |
Cause we’re chasing our tails |
For how long |
The tussle makes us how strong |
Vintage poor people fun |
If we could ease up |
On these booze and fags |
Then, just maybe |
Life wouldn’t seem so mad |
Be a man my dad said |
But what the hell he know |
He lost his dreams |
He lost his flow |
And I don’t wanna be alone |
I’m born king |
So where’s my throne |
I’m too intense |
I’m too deep |
I’m too nice for life |
So what makes this place so nervous? |
I’m all things to all men |
All of the women |
All the children |
Just say when |
And I’ll take you to my Tardis |
Who’s the hardest |
Who’s the hardest |
Look at the monster you make |
Look at the monster you pay |
But you claim no responsibility |
But you claim not |
We’re searching for Jesus |
But I’ll be damned |
If I’ll be crucified by ten thousand spies |
Compulsive lies |
They hate me |
They love me |
They hate me |
Cause I’m all things to all men, all of the women, all the children |
Just say when and I’ll take you to my Tardis |
Who’s the hardest, who’s the hardest |
