The Eternal Tao 2.0
T.E., T.E.T. cannot be whispered
T.E., T.E.T
The Tao can't be sung
I long to know what is beyond me
I try to change what I should not change
Realistically optimistic
I'm a philosopher, not, not a mystic
No more playing now, I'm on a mission
But I forgive a man if he doesn't listen
I see (Lucifer) makes a good living
A philosophy so limiting
Everyone got decisions to make
Oh yeah, baby, got bills to pay
The truth lies beyond what you see
I'm not mad at you
When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was 16
When I was 16
Nobody believed
Music's for you
When my turn it comes
When my turn it comes
I will tear the system apart
If you wanna be great
You gotta work late
And nothing is ever done
And that's what matters
T.E., T.E.T. cannot be said
Now we build statues of robots
Humanity is already a memory
Nothing's black or white, it's all gray
Honesty without tact is cruelty
Nothing turns me on like what you say
Bending towards pending demise
When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was 16
When I was 16
Nobody believed
Music's for you
It's harder than I thought
When my time it comes
Will I be prepared?
I guess we'll see
End of the daydream
Nine zillion lane high-way
Was not part of the deal
When I find my way
When I find my way (nothing is ever)
When I get my way (deleted anymore)
When I get my way
When I find my way
When I find my way (the mind wants to play)
When I get my way (free from the assembly line of thought)
Change all my friends
Only 'cause you asked me twice
Change all my clothes
That don't make a difference either
I don't want anything
Unless there's you, unless there's you
I don't want anyone
Unless it's you, unless it's you
T.E., T.E.T
The Tao can't be sung
I long to know what is beyond me
I try to change what I should not change
Realistically optimistic
I'm a philosopher, not, not a mystic
No more playing now, I'm on a mission
But I forgive a man if he doesn't listen
I see (Lucifer) makes a good living
A philosophy so limiting
Everyone got decisions to make
Oh yeah, baby, got bills to pay
The truth lies beyond what you see
I'm not mad at you
When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was 16
When I was 16

Unless it's you, unless it's you
