Open Your Mind

Open your mind! Hoo! I've been searching for just a little more To occupy my mind instead of thoughts unkind And I know why I've fallen behind It's because inspiration is so hard to find So we'll take it back to the drawing board Either it's in your hand or it's on the floor If we'll all end up just bones in a bowl Will you take your head out its merry little hole Or pretend that it's already full Open your mind Before you die If you've got more to say, then it should be said It's better in the world than in your head But creativity is such a fickle friend It can be your start or it can be your end So we'll milk it for all that it is worth Will it make you fly or bring you down to earth When your conscience screams that you're already dead And you can't think of anything that anybody's said Will you put those thoughts to bed Open your mind When I'm bored I'll pick through all the little things I adore And I'll find the new piece of mind that they afford Mais je suis sourde, for they are not mine And I've got no spine Can you reel it in, can you feel the pull Either you've got too little or too much control Can you play the game, but just to reach your goals Either you've no shoes or you've got no soul So the time has come to walk the line Either you've got no ears or you've got no spine When you tell your friends that you're really doing fine While watching your physical, emotional decline You're the last fruit on the vine Open your mind Before you die If we'll all end up just bones in a bowl Will you take your head out its merry little hole Or pretend that it's already full Open your mind
