lyrics

my love it's alright the sun is out tonight
my love it's okay full-moon day break

oh mysteries are clear and fill my lungs

nothing is far and nothing near, nothing begun



ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh



scattered broken pieces television is dead

tattered hoping speechless the runaway is fed

oh subtleties are clear when i'm turned on

when i'm tuned in when i'm aware that nothing's gone



ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh



won't you tell me bout your sorrow

won't you tell me bout your hard road

i am listening because i am attempting to understand

the vision in your mind



my love it's alright we'll find a bed tonight

my love it's okay we've seen a lot today

aeroplane was in the sky, my town is gone

but all that history survives and change is gonna come



ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh



first they tell you a vision then sell you prescriptions

pills slow down your brain til snails move quicker

they say i'm insane cuz i fail to consume liquor

and i can't sit still in one place watchin the tube flicker

so it's hashtag smash the tv

blast back with a can of graffiti

i wear a mask, man, so the laws can't see me

they be like "who did this?"

wondering like Stevie cuz we be

makin mad moves

head held high with a rad attitude

every story got sides I stand with the truth

cuz I can't stand watchin the man on the news

CNN, Fox, it really don't matter

either way Murdoch pockets get fatter

the world is a canvas so i'ma take this hammer

smash the TV, watch the paint drop splatter



won't you tell me bout your sorrow

won't you tell me bout your hard road

i am listening because i am attempting to understand

the vision in your mind
