Lyrics
In defense of Reality 7"     by Shelter      (c) 1991"
In Defence of reality"
Security. Well, how secure are we?
Making our plans in a castle of sand as our dreams getdragged to sea. You say you're independent; well is thata fact? It's by creation's donation that you are maintainedbut you'd rather turn your back. In defense of reality!
Today's modern science is your modern religion. Guessworktaught as fact--"
Don't talk back"--blind faith in their decision.
You say explosion started creation, and we're just chemicalcombinations, but would you take the same stand if there wasa gun in my hand? Or wouls you beg for your salvation?
In defense of reality? Actually, these conclusions provetheir insanity! A creation without a creator...
Can it be?
Just like a painting without a painter...absurdity! No,I don't wanna run away, I want to embrace reality."
The News"
An inspiration for a real sensation. Emancipationof my soul. And my fixation is some infromation on thispart's relation to the whole. My aspiration is pure meditation:self-realization, that's the goal! But nonsense informationbreaks my concentration, mundane sound vibration istaking control! Before I want to hear your news,I want the news on me. Been caught up so long in allof life's hype, I haven't had time to see that beneaththe disguise the real self lies which needs a soul satisfyingactivity. No, I don't want to hear your news, I wantthe news on me. Turn down that noise! Who are weessentially? Beneath the smiles, profiles, and styles, liesindividuality. NO more immense pretense, I'll take downmy fence. I want to know the real me. No more acts
I just want some facts on the soul's real personality
But that news confuses, misconstrues, and abuses. It blocksmy view from what I need to see. I want the news on me.
