Bliss
The Robert Reynolds Band
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Broke into the silence with a scream of many tongues Had the rest sit silent so they wouldn't hafta run Taking things in stride was never my strong suit No way to predict there'd be such hated for it oh yeah Money wasn't helping anyone keep on breathing The rivers ran with slime the kitchen was deserted Places that were sacred had long ago been burned There was no act of mercy we had no feel for shame oh yeah The only ones who felt were the ones who hadn't aged But age was not a teacher it had choked on its own lies The pulpit was the shrine to the death of all that shone Making this a battle ground was everybody's job oh yeah To bring the people down took more than they thought The good just wouldn't yield so they're trampled underfoot The louder they called out the further they were pushed Into the furnace of the damned that spewed the venom hate oh yeah Lunch was served at midday for the ones who guard the gate The total lack of confidence required no restraint The bunting on the stage was torn the speech laid on the ground The people who had gathered listened to the bloated clown oh yeah The afterthought was funny but there was no one left to laugh The comics were the serious ones the jokes were all in vain Turning to the fakery that built the nasty game Took all the time they had no one was to blame oh yeah The poets lie the singers cry the painters fade away Nothing touches anyone unless they want to pay The long night passed without a single shot And it was never certain if they won or not oh yeah They had no way to tell which was the better plan So it was just decided to leave it for another time Thoughts and prayers were sent by all Ya they showed they had such real concern oh yeah Lucky no one pointed out that people never learn With all this time and money spent on better ways to kill You need to know which wall is real and which you just believe One will break you when you hit it the other is just not there oh yeah Too many times to the well will dry it up you see You can't drink your hopes and dreams even if they're free Take a look at all the lessons history has to teach And then tell me what it is you think that you can reach oh yeah
