lyrics

You say that the means fortify the ends
But I refuse to crucify any more friends
You claim the crow’s tolerable with white wine,
I’ll choose instead to draw my own imaginary lines

When will we ever feel the sun?
When will we ever have some fun?
When will we ever be all but
Done with our accomplishments,
Fulfilled by mass acknowledgment,
Relieved of our embarrassment
When? When?

You say that the Dream solidifies the means,
But I reject my assignment to the underground machine
You wave the goal approaching the divine
As I choose to subsist within my own imaginary lines

Why must we congenially drink the rain?
Why must we eventually taste the pain?
Why must we ever be all but hung for our proficiency,
Stung by our own technology,
Loathed for our non-apology,
Why? Why?

Where is the road map to the promised land?
Where is that soft and sympathetic hand?
Where is the hunger for the justice of our righteousness,
Promotion of our exultance.
Adoption of our endorsement,
Where? Where? Where? Where?
Where? Where? Where?
