Time to Wake Up
A person who thinks all the time
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So
He loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts I mean specifically
Chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everything else, it's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
All so called civilized people
Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
Because
Through excessive thinking they have lost touch with reality
This is a disaster
Or as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
We are destroying nature
We're so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
So
He loses touch with reality
And lives in a world of illusions
By thoughts I mean specifically
Chatter in the skull
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
Of reckoning and calculating
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
Like everything else, it's useful in moderation
A good servant, but a bad master
All so called civilized people
Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive
Because
Through excessive thinking they have lost touch with reality
This is a disaster
Or as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
We are destroying nature
We're so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
Time to wake up
