The Light 01:53
All I want is to feel, I'm feelin' I'm feelin' all I'm interested in is healing, I'm healing I'm healing be careful what you're dealin' in, there's more to life than just to win let the light shine in, true wisdom is your best friend tho the road is rough and rocky, and it's winding on and on don't let the fear stop you, cause you know it won't be long till you reach the mountain within, scale the heights of self actualization All I want is to feel, I'm feelin' I'm feelin' all I'm interested in is healing, I'm healing I'm healing be careful what you're dealin' in, there's more to life than just to win let the light shine in,

breaking your back to make it better, you're only tightening your fetters say you gotta be a go getter, straighten up fly right don't ruffle any feathers but is this really true, can it be inside of you is this disease on the inside or the out can you cure these blues with a new pair of shoes stuffing 100 dollar bills in your mouth is this the story that we wanna tell ourselves? your only worth what you can sell and you're building your own personal hell when you should be trying to get well breaking your back to make it better,

Untidy Satanic and Amoral, Merchants of death rule the world they don't care about you and me, or the rest of humanity to them we're just some holes to fuck, bodies to build their stuff they see only money, they tell only lies and those who try to fight them are cut down as they rise Ugly Stupid Arrogant, in suit and tie a respectable gent but look closely under those manicured nails there's blood and guts and entrails Blood of innocents our hands, we're living in the devil's land in our blindness we call him god, bad is good how very odd religion tv and schools will mold you into vapid tools and there's no way to avoid the game, everyone ends up the same UnderStand this Amnesia, and think about it at your leisure to subvert it you can try but revolt outright and you may die we are part of a killing machine, that crushes life and calls it a dream and tells us we are free, unlike those heathens crushed underneath be happy you are free, be happy you are free, don't think to much about it be happy you are free, be happy you are free you don't wanna know how the sausage is made be happy you are free, be happy you are free, don't think to much about it be happy you are free, be happy you are free don't examine the nightmare under the dream, don't look at the nightmare under the dream

chopsticks move against each other to pick up the food put it in your mouth and your teeth move, against each other to chew opposing forces shape events in the material sphere it takes two to tango, to lines form an angle, that much is clear so why can't I seem to, get along with you and why can't you ever seem to, see my point of view aint no reason why a reasoned debate can't improve our state why are we so mad, it makes me so sad, can't we relate to each other, and work it out, between each other, work it out, let's find something we agree on, let's be agreeable chopsticks move against each other to pick up the food

Painting pretty pictures in my head, singing little songs to myself wish that I could be a dream instead of waking to the nightmare of being a human being wish I was an animal instead, bird to fly the skies fish to swim the sea oh what a peaceful way to be, dreaming little animal dreams wish that I was a dream instead

The captain went down with the ship, sad but that's the way he wanted it the crew, most of them survived some were badly burned but at least they were alive now his ship is sailing in, to that last safe harbor in the sky and god's own admiral waits for him, bearing commands from on high now the captain sails the spirit sea between where god lives, and you and me with orders to spread harmony, do you believe? do you believe have you seen the light have you seen the light have you seen the light have you seen the light shining out in the darkness, darkness darkness, darkness all around us darkness darkness, have you seen the light coming for to guide you home the captain went down with the ship, sad but that's the way he wanted it

Where is mamma, where is Mimi, where's aunt Lulu, it's time to feed me there's something a littlebit wrong with you, and there's nothing I can do so let me be these shoes are to long, this suit don't fit me, I am a 51, it is a 53 it's just a little bit to big, and I'm wearing an orange wig, so sue me
