Failure to Communicate

Down the hole, shut the grate
Failure to communicate
Learn a lesson, meet your fate
Seems you probably learned too late

Prison bars replace your drapes
A life restrained, you can't escape
You break the rocks, or cut the locks
And spend a night inside the box

Take a stand, cuz life ain't planned
You don't need cards to win the hand

Take my change, I'll take your soul
And toss you down into the hole
Your life is now in retrospect
Careful, cautious, circumspect

Don't be bold, check and fold
Your cigarettes have all been sold
The deal is raw, swallow it whole
Your lucky dice will never roll

Take a stand, cuz life ain't planned
You don't need cards to win the hand

And if you want to stick around
Just be a fool, keep your head down
Stick it out like a sore thumb
Long enough and you'll be numb

Hit the ground, beat the hounds
Run em to the edge of town
Play your bluff, break the cuffs
All you've got is not enough

Wanna fly? Have to try
Take a look into my eye
When you do, what you will see
Is yourself and none of me

Take a stand, cuz life ain't planned
You don't need cards to win the hand
