Zen Tango and Citizen Skin

Zen Tango Nothing could and should take command If you think you need the punishment Let love get the better you watch the light gun fire Ahoy deep in the skallow of Todd Your trip in the ethereal all murky with fog Surprise the laughter makes us a believer of something different Just fine like a good bottle of wine if it's free Mafia black with a crimson glow I couldn't talk where was my free will Through jungles of monkeys who show you your path Back from the swamps i'am sure i'll never turn back Aware of the maybes and what if's and some highway of life Wait one distracted minute after the other When it takes over you got to run for cover My best days of life taking on a challenge My worse days of life simply caring You see something that's not there But the background was finely drawn, dogmatic intrepid oblique I was sergeant stink I couldn't think the other way I could only think of keep this distraction until it sunk through my skin right to the bone I did it all for to get that feeling so I could check the box I am not a robot Citizen Skin It's you it's me It's all around us It's Poisoned you with goodness Significant to have a measure in your soul Could this be freedom The ignorance of denial the rejection of society Man made comfort started with the shape of a rock Expectation zero years fall memories never made Except when you broke your own law Abandon all hope those who pass through these gates See what makes us great get pissed on everyday What is obvious is oblivious what is honest is how you will be seen Make the family work you can't go back So no regrets no discount truth's no packages that are labeled For your glory Mostly labelled for your head to create a cost of your own free will No sentimental regards to those smoking companies To the Government who cashed in on addiction The freedom to have no voice the freedom to live invisible Look in front of you and tell me whats yours All your life signed over to these whores Shout as loud as you can people have tried They purposely give you it for free. Then wait and remove the carpet from your feet Then freedom is worn on a soldiers New pair of socks
