NoMeansNo

Madness And Death

NoMeansNo


There are no words that can describe 
The joy i feel just in being alive 
And when i look inside of me i see 
Love, faith and fidelity  
Within the dark night of the soul  
There lies a hidden, warming glow  
And if that glow were blue and white  
Could you sleep dreamless through the night?  
But if that glow were red and black  
Would you want your money back?  

It's hard enough, hard enough  
Just to survive, just to be alive  

Madness, madness, madness and death  
Respect, humility, respect  
Madness and death  

All you see and all you know  
Hangs from a stick before your nose  
The bread of life, all that you wish  
Is lying at your fingertips  
If all you see is what you want  
And what you see is what you get  
Then cease your searching, low and high  
Listen to my whispered lies  
Ask for nothing  
Close your eyes  

It's hard enough, hard enough  
Just to survive, just to be alive  
SURPRISE! 

Madness, madness, madness and death  
Respect, humility, respect  
Madness and death
