Reason and Rhyme Lyrics

To all my friends and neighbours, I got a song to sing

About this fabulous species, thinks they know everything

So listen up close, it won't hurt but it might sting

But we just can't say right now

So come on out creatures, you the humbled and the bruised

There's a spot on the curb for each of us fools

We'll be ready to stand when we get the new rules

But we just can't say right now

Ain't nothing so simple, when you shovel into it

We're building up from the rubble, or we're at the top of the split

We're blowing out little bubbles, or we're in a pile of shit

But we just can't say right now

The saints of the sinners lost some of their shine

And their guilty companions been abandoned in time

It's a slap-back from the founders of reason and rhyme

Oh the truth comes out in the end

Yeah we're hammered with headlines, as we're speeding along

We're so convinced we're right, we've forgotten what's wrong

If you ask me compassion is the sign of the strong

Oh the truth comes out in the end

Now my fellow conscious citizen, take a seat on the stand

In the name of your honour, you can raise your right hand

Now tell us all again, how you're doing all that you can

Oh the truth comes out in the end

From the one life I've lived, comes one thing I've learned

It's that we ain't gonna change, unless something starts to burn

With the luck of the ancients, we'll all make the turn

And we'll carry through somehow

Take control of the arms, that's connected to your heart

Take the moment the guts find the courage to start

A little breakdown be the shakedown, make your feet do their part

And we'll carry through somehow

So long to the old way, bonjour reality

The right to think different is the mark of the free

What a beautiful conundrum, cut out for you and me

And we'll carry through somehow
