Burn the Man (written 3/02)

 

All things can change

Nothing is tame

It�s only our hope that remains the same

We�re blinded by too many florescent lights

And not enough natural sky

 

We will die and rebirth will sing

And down on the plia is where I grew my wings

And burned the man to celebrate

To take back the land and recreate

A post-modern freakish clan

And all of us our different in a peaceful land

When all of us our peaceful in a different land

 

Gather up your sisters and your brothers too

We�re destined to make a freak out of you

Mix the math camp, the pirates, the artists and the trampolines

Into a rare display of society gone crazy with generosity

 

[mix the swings, the sculptures, naked communal neighborhoods

into a rare display of culture gone crazy with spreading kindness and good]

 

There is a flavor for you�

 

Laser beams accelerate

At lightening speeds

While the earth unfolds my creativity

Forget the greed help the hungry

The people in need and the lonely

To bring about a little bit of acceptance

 

So we burn the man to celebrate

To take back the land to recreate

A postmodern freakish clan

And all of us our different in a peaceful land
