Tears For the Sheep

A city of fools
I wanna bash whoever's responsible for this incomprehensible lack of passion
The sucker's been seduced down to the stick
And the peasants fill their bellies with the poisons you omit
I've come to separate the heads and shoulders
of these tracing paper soldiers
that have been designated to take if over
I'ma roll a couple of boulders off the cliff,
on the road below (look out below!) 'cause I don't know what I'ma hit (yo)
I live by the word until I die by your sword
Even when I'm dead, my head will live inside your RCA cords
I'll wait for the right time, but it resembled nowadays
Descended on the earth to put an end to all your holidays
The assassin- covered in plain clothes,
Smothered the sunlight and set flame to your rainbows
And then came the storm (and then came the storm)
Bewildered those that didn't contemplate fate disguised as the norm (as the norm)
Then when the smoke evaporated and the damage was assessed,
The casualties were counted as they looked among the mess
As they focused they eyes on the horizon, who'd a guessed?
All that stood atop the hill was Number Seven's silhouette, with his

[Chorus]
Head splitting tears
Cement-breaking, weeping for these people walking in they sleep (these people walking in they sleep)
My talk is not as cheep, and my thoughts are not as deep
As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep
Head splitting tears
Cement-breaking, weeping for these people walking in they sleep (these people walking in they sleep)
My talk is not as cheep, and my thoughts are not as deep
As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
Well I beg a thousand pardons for each word I've used for personal gains
But the letters that float through my head to mold my sentences
Could never be contained by your simple picture frames
For every intoxicated moment I hate life
I strive to balance my aura by dancing with the light
And sometimes it's difficult to stay quiet, I fight it
Each time I find myself walking across your eyelids
Wishin' the malnutritioned imagination of yours
Could see the truth you breath through each one of your pores
And now the days are drastic, the nights last forever
Wanna tear this mother fucker up and put it back together
I'd like to ask the cats that act like they my peers
"Have you spent the energy I've spent tryin'a count the tears?"
One of these days, I'm gonna climb the tallest building of all,
Give a warning to those below, and let the tears fall, all the

[Chorus]
Head splitting tears
Cement-breaking, weeping for these people walking in they sleep (these people walking in they sleep)
My talk is not as cheep, and my thoughts are not as deep
As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep
Head splitting tears
Cement-breaking, weeping for these people walking in they sleep (these people walking in they sleep)
My talk is not as cheep, and my thoughts are not as deep
As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep

[Sample]
Nobody sees 'cept my mirror on the wall
Nobody sees 'cept my mirror on the wall

The damage- overseen by anyone that comprehends
The anguish- felt only by the ones that invested
The language was primitive, the listener complex
And everyone was trying to define success
All the self-proclaimed profits, dressed up to look like poets
Pretending to be martyrs, that they not
You can learn all they names and engrain them on your brain's
memory so you can spout them off the top (off the top)
Yo, kill them all and let God give them haircuts
The flood has begun and no one been paired up
So I'ma take a second to beckon the downfall of your so called "civilized nation"
(Yo yo yo yo yo, just stop the sound now!)
