The Humanity

We spend our lives Wishing we were home Lying on our backs Curing this syndrome Let the rain fall down Water to the trees Sitting on the ground Let life wash over me Presently I'm sitting in a desk against a wall Cracking every knuckle Sitting out the bell forestalling freedom from All the scheduled classes that they run It's really dumb (oh) In the mirror now I wonder Staring into my own iris Logic now is torn asunder Dark reflection of my virus We spend our lives Wishing we were home Lying on our backs Curing this syndrome Let the rain fall down Water to the trees Sitting on the ground Let life wash over me Presently I'm sitting in a hole inside a wall Waiting out the bombings Sitting out the screams forestalling freedom from All the scheduled strafing that they run It's really dumb (oh) I seem stitched in my own skin From the devil, seems defenceless Oh God! He may even win... Won't you take away all my darkness? We spend our lives Wishing we were home Lying on our backs Curing this syndrome Let the rain fall down Water to the trees Sitting on the ground Let life wash over me
