Amnesty

If I could be the man you idolize and sensualize the

wisdom of the hunt capture penalize free-thinking

making basing all who run the world and glamorize the

business you can see I would be less the man the stand

I take and further all who seek the twisted ethic live

the ways and means of daring profit-sharing with the

meek free to think of me uncaring in the race of money

making climbing taking chances cancel those who gamble

ramble on about achieving still believing they can make

it...

I cannot reach you caught between

The love you hate, the hate you need

‘Cause all your life you've traded me

The freedom for your amnesty

The lock and key that keeps you tied to me

The days you live and breathe

The "might have been" that you pretend

So you can cash our past in...

Now I stumble slowly forward through the twisted ethic

bore you with the details of the me inept but free to

push the morals fact debris of scattered ashes you

believe after the fashion now I see you for what you

came to be in person fact and fiction evolution self-

exertion charm them into your submission make them tow

the line to the letter better now than later how we

stand and take it is the measure of the better man than

he who claims to be the thinker blinks to find his fame

is never free...

I cannot reach you caught between

The love you hate, the hate you need

‘Cause all your life you've traded me

The freedom for your amnesty

The lock and key that keeps you tied to me

The days you live and breathe

The "might have been" that you pretend

So you can cash our past in...

Now I see a life of more than beautiful

Where I can be the everything you hide...

I cannot reach you caught between

The love you hate, the hate you need

‘Cause all your life you've traded me

The freedom for your pride...

I cannot reach you caught between

The love you hate, the hate you need

‘Cause all your life you've traded me

The freedom for your amnesty

The lock and key that keeps you tied to me

The days you live and breathe

The "might have been" that you pretend

So you can cash our past in...
