Tom: E
E
The honey, the power, the light, they all blind me,
E
Leave no stone unturned you'll still never find me.
A
The rock that I hide in will never crack open,
E
The shopping yard chisel* if you think I'm jokin'.
B
I cannot be swayed and I will not be quiet,
A
Tell the fat cats and big wigs to go on a diet.
E
They're taking up space that has better uses,
E
So let's jump the tracks and unhitch their cabooses.
A
They're making it clear they don't get my vibe.
E
So publish solutions and I will subscribe
B
And contribute page after page of my theories
A
Which I will type out 'til my fingers grow weary.
E
My arms they are shaking right up to my neck.
E
I was a good job paid off with bad checks,
A
And counterfeit cash with faked IOUs,
E
And phony sunsets and fraudulent use.
B
They'll distract me, I know, and I'll pay the fee
A
And I'll borrow from those a lot younger than me.
E
The kids did not want to grow old and stupid
E
But that's what they got for ignoring cupid.
A
His arrows went flying he shot at them all,
E
But his aim was so poor he punctured a wall.
B
Well what happen I'll tell you the brain killed the heart,
A
And so his solutions were passed off as art.
E
They're churning out robots and marching machines
E
Who go and write stories for large magazines.
A
Yeah, with pages paid off by corporate sponsors,
E
Who came in like champions and ended up monsters.
B
When angels and guardians finally desert me
A
The cops and the crooks will team up just to hurt me.
E
I cannot be swayed to a life of frustration,
E
Of punching in walls when I'd rather punch nations,
A
Who never stop fighting these not knowing victory.
E
So give me blank books to fill up with history.
B
There's more to believe than just* assumptions,
A
And wait for the big foot to descend and crush them.
E
I'm just a lone bottle, I float with the notion
E
That there's some meaning in this bottled ocean.
A
My tide will come in if you'll hear a knocking,
E
Above all the roar of this meaningless talking.
B
Attempts to invent a whole new way to fight
A
Will fall through the honey, and the power, and light
