we got the needle we got the thread we got the time let's mend our ways i got the time if you've got the day i still got that time let's misbehave despite those tips of my fingers that say, "no no no no no -- you better stay in place" well if you wanna go waste all your seconds trying to live up to the lie that binds us inside invisible little white lines (lies) we got the needle we got the thread we got the time let's mend our ways i still got the time if you've got the day i still got that time let's start today despite those silly little tips of my fingers that say, "no no no no no -- you better stay in place" well, i've been living someone else's dream don't know what it means it ain't me well i'm tired of living life stuck in a dream time to find that story we lost in concrete a different way to be quit focusing so much on the "i" in 'dentity quit focusing so much on fulfillment of their 'dentity we got the needle we got the thread we got the time let's mend our ways i still got the time if you've got the day i still got that time let's misbehave despite those silly little tips of my fingers that say, "no no no no no -- you better stay away from the exit sign"

you and me and the silly city that we love to loathe -- i was better off alone. you went away as soon as you realized metaphysics abound. tell me when you finally feel “sound” (feet on the ground, look to the feet on the ground) no, i couldn’t match your ideal. so you cut me off with your “twice two”. i couldn’t make “four”. i fell to the floor. fall to the floor, falter once more. ———————————————————————— well, i didn’t know where i was going with this one anyway . uh huh well, i thought you could meet me at the exit sign of all that we’ve ever known. i guess i was just as bad, caught up in a web of ideals. you were too caught up in metaphysics & confused. so what is there to lose when there wasn’t much to begin with anyway ? uh huh caught up in metaphysics, it’s a ruse.

living a lie living a lie living a lie toxic mimicry abounds looking at another like a mirror, or, looking at another like a mirror, or, little box me up on a screen little box "we" so lonely -------------------------------------------------------- your little box dreams never made much sense to me little box dreams, little box lie toxic mimicry abounds well i could walk for miles & miles & miles (or so it seems) & all i'll ever see is people stuck inside staring at screens, little box dreams little box life -------------------------------------------------------- darling can't you see i've fallen? happens so quickly darling can't you see we've fallen? happens too quickly

sow the seeds, help 'em grow through the cracks of all that we've ever known i didn't want it, though, i knew i had to go some things just take time to finally be actualized -------------------------------------------------------- could you even conceive anything more than the "I"? i didn't think so i negate their design you fall back in line & we get further away from affecting any change -------------------------------------------------------- (manufactured means fracturing you & me) -------------------------------------------------------- sow the seeds, help 'em grow through the cracks of all that we've ever known sow the seeds, watch 'em grow through the cracks of our foundational ties little lies that bind as they blind sow the seeds, grow with them through the cracks cause we're from them too -------------------------------------------------------- (sow the seeds of resistance)

quickly, it comes as it goes, all at once distracted, alone the modern mess pools around my feet i couldn’t see anything but a screen and so it seems we just believe in wires wiiires quickly, it comes as it goes all at once distracted, alone all for the world alive in song alone not what’s outside the classroom window and so we sing of purple mountain majesty but the tops have all been removed guess we missed that lyric too quickly, it comes as it goes, all at once distracted, alone we’ll never see the rising sea we’re all so lost in machinery and so it seems my country tis of these lies liiies an opiate for the masses an opiate for the masses an opiate for the masses and so it seems we just believe in wires wiiires

dream of boundless bounty though our harvest carts stay empty dream of boundless bounty though our harvest keeps getting more & more empty work for the boundless bounty of the few & never the many ———————————————————————— well i’ve heard those lullabies too i heard ‘em from my birth to the present they heard it from a fertile crescent now a desert & all those little roman babies too they’d soon learn all about subservience to the few & how they’d dream of wearing the hues that glitter off the golden suits & how we dream of wearing those same hues that glitter off the golden suits of progress that we never knew that was for the chosen few & never the many & certainly neither you nor me ———————————————————————— well i’ve been over it & i’ll stay over it …ten million times every time i step outside the assembly line & i realize well we’ve been bought, we’ve been sold just like visions of gold cause we were bought, we were sold by mere glimmers of gold (it’s getting old) — ———————————————————————— — by the old men sitting behind some desk snug in their suits of progress “if you work real hard,” they say “you can be me come on & live the top level dream” but some destinies never do seem to manifest for neither you nor me just ask betty ———————————————————————— well i’ve been over it, yeah i’ve been over it …10 million times every time i see Sisyphus climb with her aching back with his sleepy eyes we’re all striving for the reality behind something that just stays a dream striving for the reality behind strategically implemented bullshittery ———————————————————————— from pyramids to pyramid schemes it’s all the same thing to me thy kinsmen become the next kings why do you think that they supplant them? they plant themselves inside the revolution at first & we just stand idly by waiting for somebody else to create little white lines
