Thought Pollution
Get back to the task at hand
You'll never go anywhere without a plan
I try to get by
As I'm going through life
Learning to be a better man
But I'm wandering without direction
I seem to be infected upon further inspection
Take a closer look
You can't learn in any book
What it means to be thrown in this world without protection
The helpless can not help themselves
They try to find what they need in someone else
It's thought pollution
To think there is no solution
If there's an answer, you'll find it in yourself
Speak your mind, thought is contagious
I don't know what to say as an inner war wages
Say what you will
I know knowledge can kill
But blind belief is just as dangerous
Soon other questions are raised
Raise your hand if you have something insightful to say
You can't imagine
Anything I can't fathom
So let's get those ideas out today
