lyrics

(Sensuous conceptual, rudiments essential)

My speculations as wide as my fellowman's
Doubtful of the news I've been hearing when
They're on the front page
It's an outrage

I've got no weaponry
Against the felonies committed far away from here
It seems it's just a headline
Suffice to say it in a rhyme
But it's not alright
But it's not alright
Not alright.

Can we only find it in our hearts
To sympathize sometimes
Because we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
cause we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
Can we only find it in our hearts
To sympathize sometimes
Because we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
cause we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
Of the gun
Of the gun.

They fought the bigotry
Injustice paid through all the years and more
But whatever do I know?
I was born in 1984.
What's the significance you say,
You're not a witness to the crimes
You never have to pay
But you see them everyday.

Can we only find it in our hearts
To sympathize sometimes
Because we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
cause we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
Can we only find it in our hearts
To sympathize sometimes
Because we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
cause we can't feel the beat or the rhythm
Of the gun
Of the gun.

Sensuous conceptual
Rudiments essential
Condiments
Rhythmic ingredients
Grey-matter gimmick
Languages
Metaphorical sandwiches
Provider of sustenance
The third-eye illustration
Now cut it down the middle section
Cut the B.S. and rebirths of
cliches don't need new ways to massacre vocabulary.
