It's a rainy night for the Bard of the Lake It's a rainy night and it's not a mistake My melancholy chords come naturally to me They do to all of those from David's line The melancholy chords come not by accident But by the muses in my veins The muses in my pains The answer is art The answer is art The answer has always been art This hidden messages of all time Were made by those who rhyme their spells The hidden messages are in art that's on your walls They create your hells An artist is different An artist sees things at that angle, that perspective that you can't We rise and fall We rise and fall We rise and fall with the truth I've always been friends with the truth The truth and I normally get along Then there's this thing called, by Masons, self-evasion of mind That block me from seeing it when I choose to be blind And if I don't choose And take off my blindfolds Then I see the answers There's only one religion on earth It judges your kindness as your worth The religion is kindness to all beings to the extent that you can Within your power Kindness is the task and it's also how you're judged, ultimately Inside my extra-legal system They named me Reuven Shalom ben Shimon Chaim Reuven Shalom ben Shimon Chaim Do you hear the poetry? Do you hear the poetry under my sign The Scales, do you hear it Do you hear the poetry Naming me Wise Judge of Peace, son of Simon Life I am the wise judge of peace My whole parameter's inner peace So if I'm out here mad as hell You've got a problem Mad as hell If I am out here mad as hell You've got the problem Mad as hell Mad as hell Mad as hell Mad as hell Mad as hell I don't care what your legal strategy is I wrote all your laws Might as well have Might as well have Might as well have Don't take that out of context Might as well have I know the reasons why they made all the laws Because I like to read Because I like to read Because I like to read And I speed read a lot Because I like to read And I'm a very, very deep reader on the reasons for everything Sorry, not sorry You have no contract with me I have the Contract with you That's how the country was formed That's how the country was formed That's why criminals get away with everything And I'm not a criminal, but I might as well be because I sing I might as well be because I sing my Truth Fortunately the Founders protect that Truth Whether you call it art or religion I don't care what you think I know my rights And there's no man on Earth I'm afraid of don't you see That car it came for me That car it came for me That car it came for me And it missed I don't care, I don't care, I don't care what you all think I'll only care what I will think for the rest of my days I promise you all those who are waiting You can hold your breath I promise those who are waiting for something from me You can hold your breath You can hold your breath says the Muse You can hold your breath It would amuse of the Muse You can hold your breath And I'm only thinking of one person And that person doesn't exist anymore in my world Anymore in my world, thus forgiven Everyone else Rehabilitation Maybe unless you know I love you I am quite clear on who I love I was assigned the humans And it's a struggle Not one that I want Not that one that they gave the First Fury that I want I am pissed off with your injustice And you're gonna have to do better I'll only tell you once I want a new contract with you I'm leaving the old one on the shelf Please let me out here To be me Please let me out here to be me Please let me out here to be me Please let me be me For once in my life For once in my life Let me be me I promise I've forgiven all of you, except one person You gotta let me be me I promise you're all the rest of you Eight billion of you You're all fr, you're all forgiven OK the word I didn't say was fried, you're forgiven The word is forgiven But you gotta let the artists be the artists, ah, even the bullshit artists They get to be artists I'm not talking about myself, not most of the time I mean when I'm joking, then I'm a bullshit artist But the rest of the time, when I'm not joking Which is not a lot of the time But it's some of the time anyway, I'm serious Yes, if you're listening, lawyers, this is satire God damn it I wrote your laws I can say that I have my traditions on my hat And you will pay What my Master says render unto Caesar And so will I You will relent You will repent You will renounce what I say Or I will pin you to the six points on my Shield I promise you You will know my Shield You will know my Shield You will know my Shield Know my Shield Know my Shield Know my Shield Goodnight, my planet Rest safe in your beds Don't worry Some of us are watching what's happening The human race agrees on ninety-nine point nine percent of all of its priorities And your labels are false And we are watching Army of Light Calling you in The hatred of man is its sin Army of Light Insist on kindness from all of those you know And thank you Thank you for being the Army of Light Thank you for letting us all in the gates when you do When you see one of us who is really really struggling Thank you for letting us in We'll make you proud You'll point to us and say I remember him from that day I knew her when she was just a little princess And look at her now, as she leads the whole world That is my prayer for you Let your daughters lead Hey boys Step aside and watch the fireworks They're gonna lead in so many ways As better communicators than us And you gotta let them Let women lead Let women lead They will teach us to be better than we are Let women lead now It's time, God guys can't you see it I mean I'm one of you, kind of Let them go Let women leaders lead us We are finished leading them I'm ready I'm ready Let them lead I'm ready and I'll do anything I can Let them lead Let them lead You will hear this new spell The spell will serve you well You may share this spell with a friend Or not, probably not I hope my daughter learns this spell I hope your daughter learns this spell too It doesn't matter who you are Let your daughter lead, and watch her lead And watch her go And son, you'll write the music with me You're gonna let your women take the helm They're the ones equipped with the equipment of peace It's not their bodies, you dopes It's their minds It's their hearts I've revered every women leader I've seen Every women's leader I've seen I watch them going, and it started with my Mom I learned respect from the English teacher across the street She taught me to have my own mind She taught me to reject abuse She taught me to know my worth in this world She taught me to have every resources at my disposal at all times She made me the Big Dog While I walked her little one I think it was named Pork Chop or something Okay, it was Lambchop And I'm grateful to her As I stare out over the lake That it is my privilege to be the Bard of Thank you to all my teachers The social contract's under review It's been a few hundred years or so And it's your caring that measures your society Not how much money you have Or how many guns It's your caring but you might have to keep the guns Because people need their rights Just like I need the First Amendment to say this stuff that probably pisses you off It's not popular to say It's not popular to say But you need to know your rights All your rights, all the time Listen to this rhyme, know your rights All your rights, all the time All the time Know your rights Know your rights
