JUST USE YOUR MIND
EVERYTHING HAS MANY SIDES
STUDY THEM AND THEN SURMISE
WHAT TO THINK IF YOU ARE WISE
YOU MAY BE A BIT SURPRISED
HOW MANY THINGS YOU MAY FIND
IF YOU JUST USE YOUR MIND
NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
DOES ANYBODY REALLY
SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE
WHAT LENSES DO THEY LOOK THROUGH
WHEN THEY WISH UPON A STAR
WE SEE WHAT WE WANT TO SEE
AND HEAR WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR
AND SO OUR REALITY
IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
I GUESS THE IMPORTANT THING
IS TO TRY TO BE MORE AWARE
TOTALITARIANISM DO NOT COMPLY
IDIOTIC IDEOLOGY
IDIOSYNCRASY
SO PSYCHOTIC NO APOLOGY
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME
RABBIT HOLES
WATCH OUT FOR RABBIT HOLES
TRY TO AVOID THEM
DON'T GO DOWN ONE OF THOSE
THEY ARE A PROBLEM
YOU'LL GET COMPLETELY LOST
AND VERY CONFUSED
AND PAY SUCH A HIGH COST
THAT LEAVES YOU BEMUSED
LISTENING TO RAIN
LISTENING TO RAIN ON THE WINDOW PANE
CALMS YOUR BRAIN WHEN IT IS TAME
IF IT COMES DOWN HARD AND FAST
THEN I HOPE THAT IT WON'T LAST
WHEN IT'S GENTLE I MUST SAY
I'D LOVE TO LISTEN ALL DAY
BEING DESPICABLE
WHOEVER IS CAPABLE
OF BEING DESPICABLE
SHOULD NOT BE PREDICTABLE
IT'S JUST INEXPLICABLE
HOW IT IS FORMIDABLE
SPLENDOR IN THE PAST
SPLENDOR IN THE PAST
IT WAS SUCH A BLAST
NEVER OVERCAST
IT WENT BY SO FAST
MEMORIES ARE VAST
RIPPLES OF HOPE
RIPPLES OF HOPE MAY BE FOUND
IF WE ALL JUST LOOK AROUND
PEOPLE WHO CARE ARE OUT THERE
IT'S GOOD TO BE AWARE
WE'RE NOT ALONE LOTS OF US
ARE WILLING TO MAKE A FUSS
ABOUT WHAT'S WRONG FAR TOO LONG
AND TOGETHER WE STAND STRONG
SO BE INCLINED TO SPEAK YOUR MIND
AND YOU WILL FIND A GOLD MINE
OF KINDRED SOULS WHO OPPOSE
ALL THOSE FOES THAT'S HOW IT GOES
ONE BY ONE WE ALL ADD UP
AND WE WILL FIND THAT IS ENOUGH
ALLURING ASSURING ENDURING
DO YOU SUPPOSE
IT'S NOT SAFE TO TRUST THOSE
WHO ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY
IF THAT IS SO
I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
IT'S SAFE TO TRUST
INTUITION IS JUST
FOREVER OCCURRING
GOD'S GIFT TO US
THAT WE ALL CAN TRUST
LIES ARE NOT OBSCURING
THE TRUTH BE TOLD
THAT WE CAN BEHOLD
ALLURING ASSURING ENDURING
