Feeling Like A Shah

Surrounded by these foreign walls
Feeling like a shah but never really exiled
We feel we need no strategy
The element of thought is only there to hurt you
And if you try you find one fat man
Telling you 'Son, you've got no chance.'
But that you cannot bear to hear
What they're telling you to buy
The bottom of our cage, it seems
Is filled with broken dreams
Would be nice if they got swept up
Then we could live monotone
Life would be so perfect
Die only when we had to
But if you ever see the tragedy
So swollen up inside – you'll feel that
Living is so painful
Much easier to die
It's been noticed that the more we hide
The more we lie
The more we find we have to hide
The more we lie
I see you walking past the doorway
With your clothes all tightly fitting
And you step on us so lightly
You can't stop to play the game
You're waiting for an answer
From my cynical opinion
Can't you feel that you're still dreaming
Isn't all of this the same
As an inter-spacial contact
Between two foreign bodies
They wait to shake your hand (trun around)
And stab your back
I need to feel your reason
Why don't you keep on counting
Only then can I adorn you
With the wisdom that you lack
Surrounded by these foreign walls
Feeling like a shah but never really exiled
Our heads are filled with solitude
Capturing the silence only there to guide you
And if you try – you find one mad man
Telling you 'Son, you got no chance.'
But you cannot bear to see
What they're telling you to be

Living In Sin

Give me a life with no rules and no changes
Give me a time with a piece on your mind
I need a lady with morals like hinges
Living in sin is the way of our time
Hey! What do you keep your pies in?
Ok, we know! Your people live in sin
Medicine man scratching at the dog’s heel
Desperately searching to find another bone
He’s had enough of lies; he’s aiming for a big deal
Call upon another to jeopardize his home
Innocent girl lying in the garden
Casually viewed by eager young me
Take another turn to let a little sun in
Mesmerize your audience before you let them burn
Hey! What do you keep your pies in?
Ok, we know! Your people live in sin
Give me a life with no rules and no changes
Give me a time with a piece on your mind
I need a lady with morals like hinges
Living in sin is the way of our time
Stretch out the sign along all major borders
Legalize nature the eve of the loud
Keep it in mind the system might falter
Enough to get by ahead of the crowd
Hey! What do you keep your pies in?
Ok, we know! Your people live in sin

Insane Sheep

The sheep have lost their minds
Now they’re heading for the lowlands
Assembled in confusion
They wait for night to fall
Passive for centuries
Their madness is now surfacing
Ruthless, bloody pillaging
Has been become their call
People have built barricades
Yet they know they’re outnumbered
Oh why this mystery has happened to the sheep
I don’t want to hear no scientific reason
There’s got to be a hundred
The sheep they show no mercy
You know they take no prisoners
Causing massive injuries; blood flowing everywhere
Fear spreads to near communities
They know their days are numbered
They call in the army
For support against the sheep
They bombard them with their everything
Even using napalm
But the radioactivity prevents the sheep from death
I don’t want to hear no scientific reason
There’s got to be a hundred
The sheep elect a leader
After celebrating victory
They line up all the hostages
And start to call their fate
Caught up in their insanity
The sheep begin to graze
As they tear the throats out of the victims
Pleading for their lives
The holocaust is over now
The sheep control the planet
Oh why this mystery has happened to the sheep
I don’t want to hear no scientific reason
There’s got to be a hundred

Roll It
04:15

Government – there to lend
Back the wealth we keep pouring in
Police are clogging up the street
Pretty soon we’ll have to learn how to roll it
Watch yourself – think real fast
Don’t let them grab you by the ass
They try to chain you to your past
But don’t believe them
You can learn how to roll it
Pressures cooking on the firing line
Some friends of mine have lost their minds
Met one just the other day he said…
“Society will have to pay.”
So until then we roll it
Smoke it
Why is that you live in sin?
How have you come this far within?
Your life means nothing – still you grin – because
You know that you have learned how to roll it

Everybody’s running ‘round
Trying to find a piece of ground
On which they want to live upon
And keep to their very own
Every time you look and see
The anger burning up in me
Tell me what you want to be
Me, I’m different
No man has got a kingdom
No man has got the time
No man has got the answer
That has been written down in rhyme
I’ve seen man breed shallow empty feelings
Forgetting to bestow love upon themselves
But no man has got a kingdom of their own
No child has got the wisdom
No child has got the means
No child has got the question
That has been answered in his dreams
I’ve seen children playing in fields
Share their love which is real
The children have got a kingdom of their own
