Manuscripts and Remedies
The defiance of giants
Is now compliance or alliance
If you're not thinking, then you're sinking
To the bottom of the pool
Trapped inside the tide of petty rules
For busy fools
Came upon a holy man
As he was kneeling down to pray
I assumed as a child of God
He would surely know the way
But he said
The wisdom that you crave
Can be gathered from the grave
In the manuscripts and remedies
Of past polite societies
And the way they misbehaved
Yet the strength of which you seek
Once protected by the meek
In the manuscripts and remedies
Of past polite societies
Open up and speak... to us
Standing in a crowd on a busy street corner
Waiting for the lights to change
Nobody talking, nobody walking
Their movements pre-arranged
We stand and wait obeying the state
No one steps out of line
I can't recall the day at all
When we surrendered our minds
But it's been a long time
If we don't choose the laws
To which we lead our lives
Then we'll never take control
If we fail to push away
What may deprive
We will sacrifice our soul
Is now compliance or alliance
If you're not thinking, then you're sinking
To the bottom of the pool
Trapped inside the tide of petty rules
For busy fools
Came upon a holy man
As he was kneeling down to pray
I assumed as a child of God
He would surely know the way
But he said
The wisdom that you crave
Can be gathered from the grave
In the manuscripts and remedies
Of past polite societies
And the way they misbehaved
Yet the strength of which you seek
Once protected by the meek
In the manuscripts and remedies
Of past polite societies
Open up and speak... to us
Standing in a crowd on a busy street corner
Waiting for the lights to change
Nobody talking, nobody walking
Their movements pre-arranged
We stand and wait obeying the state
No one steps out of line
I can't recall the day at all
When we surrendered our minds
But it's been a long time
If we don't choose the laws
To which we lead our lives
Then we'll never take control
If we fail to push away
What may deprive
We will sacrifice our soul
