lyrics

Been a long time since I’ve been defined by the words I cannot say,
Hedge my bets with the bookends of the knowledge that never stayed,
So don’t talk to me about your dreams, I’ve been walking the same streets,
I’ve bowed my head to the jester and the joker and the thief.

It’s all I say we need,
It’s all you say we need,

The great divide that sits between my nighttime and my day,
Has been blurred once again, reason has gone astray,
This time around I’m going to pass because you ask me through your teeth,
I’ve stood my ground to the priest, the cardinal, and the chief.

It’s all I say we need,
It’s all you say we need,

I’ve known jesters and jokers and thieves,
I’ve known priests and cardinals and chiefs.
Do you see me? Do demagogues believe?

I concede that I foresee a future on the street,
All the attention and begging the question, all for your guarantee,
For a lost and found, the hunters knife, and the lonely satellite,
The curveball kisses the makeshift misses and the absentee survives.

It’s all I say we need,
It’s all you say we need,

But I’m free, free of envy,
And when I leave, I’ll leave no pity.

It’s all I say we need,
It’s all you say we need,
