PHANTOM WHEELS
Johnny told the man, we’re not sticking with the plan
we’re trying to find a new way.
And he said we have a choice , but I never found my voice
in that revolution peace graze.
You can take it
to the streets and
you can raise it up on every sign
But they’ll just knock you off you feet and
push you back in line.
I have no faith
in gods or the saving grace of love
and I’ve no hope for humanity.
No I won’t participate, I won’t vote and I won’t pray
That’s just spinning phantom wheels to me.
They raise up holy
martyrs say they died for you and me.
But the truth be known, it was us who killed them anyway.
(So get out of my way)
It’s selfish
if you think all existence is in sync
with what you feel or what is in your mind.
It’s not humble it’s not wise,
you just hide behind your lies
saying “People, God is on our side.”
You can put it on
the silver screen,
you can play it from your stereo
But they’ll just knock you off you feet
and tell you where to go.
Johnny
told the man, we’re not sticking with the plan
we’re trying to find a new way.
I’m not trying to make you scared, but Johnny disappeared
they found him bleeding in his doorway.
