Maybe you can ask yourself;
Why do I say this is pointless, you clueless,
But wait and watch it unfold.

Do you want to be,
A well fed slave or a hungry free man

Shaking loose dust upon battered edge

Until I turned to see the blood in her eyes,

I remember me feeling so excited
I couldn't resist smiling
I couldn't resist thinking of my future

Of flour at...
