the will, of the harbinger
to pass along all of the blame
blame your teachers, blame the news
blame your parents, give them more pills
we can disappear, if we shave all of our hair off and
knock out all our teeth and shave our fingers off

warp with me, 'cause you've got nowhere else to go
warp with me, 'cause there's nothing above or below

when you've got nothing to say
say it loud because truth is a muted point
how can your bury your head in the sand
if the hourglass always turns
the only infinite resource is human ignorance
and humanity's need to be blind
how do you explain color to a blind man
how do you explain color to a dog

what will you do, when your government
runs our intelligence dry
and murders all the intellects
what will you do when truth is a lie
believe in your police state
or feed off all of your hate
hand away all of your secrets
or feed on the cement

commit yourself to the militia
or commit yourself a crime
or commit yourself to the institution
for coloring, outside, the lines

do you feel the spot light
or can you feel enlightened
'cause your spot lights a police light
so are you also frightened
waste your time with reruns
waste your time with shows
some of us will be outside
watching the towers implode
warp with me, 'cause you've got nowhere else to go
warp with me, 'cause there's nothing above or below
