[00:59.386]Well, the animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness.
[01:04.166]A baby cries hard in an apartment complex,
[01:09.208]as I pass in a car buried under the influence.
[01:14.778]The city's driving me out of my mind.
[01:18.498]I've seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity.
[01:23.818]He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree
[01:28.590]and lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
[01:33.381]Next time he will not aim so high.
[01:38.153]Yeah, next time, neither will I.
[01:45.328]Now a mother takes loans out, sends her kids off to colleges.
[01:50.640]Her family's reduced to names on a shopping list.
[01:55.426]While, a coroner kneels beneath a great, wooden crucifix.
[02:00.203]He knows there's worse things than being alone.
[02:04.990]And so I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
[02:09.766]I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
[02:15.075]An ambition, I've found, can lead only to failure.
[02:19.862]I do not read the reviews.
[02:24.642]No, I am not singing for you.
[03:18.579]Well I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well.
[03:23.631]And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help.
[03:28.946]With all these wishes I make,
[03:31.871]I should buy something real, at least a telephone call home.
[03:39.054]Well, my teachers, they built this retaining wall of memory,
[03:43.838]all those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
[03:48.882]And got my grades back and forgot just as easily,
[03:53.925]but as least I got an A.
[03:58.437]And so I don't have them to blame.
[04:05.611]Well I should stop pointing fingers;
[04:08.528]reserve my judgment of all those public action figures,
[04:13.576]the cowboy presidents.
[04:15.969]So loud behind the bullhorn, so proud they can't admit
[04:20.751]when they've made a mistake.
[04:25.807]While poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen,
[04:30.587]he knows he don't have to say it,
[04:32.706]so it, it don't bother him.
[04:35.357]"Honesty", "Accuracy" is just "Popular Opinion."
[04:40.417]And the approval rating's high,
[04:45.454]and so someone's gonna die.
[04:52.623]Well ABC, NBC, CBS: Bullshit.
[04:57.146]They give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split.
[05:02.451]And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment.
[05:06.965]We're still the pawns in their game.
[05:12.014]As they take eye for an eye until no one can see,
[05:16.530]we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.
[05:21.045]Well, I guess we all fit into your slogan
[05:24.497]on the fast food marquee:
[05:26.626]Red blooded, White skinned oh and the Blues.
[05:30.871]Oh and the Blues, I got the Blues! That's me! That's me!
[06:25.112]Well, I awoke in relief.
[06:27.780]My sheets and tubes were all tangled
[06:30.434]weak from whiskey and pills,
[06:32.825]in a Chicago hospital.
[06:35.216]And my father was there, in a chair, by the window, staring so far away.
[06:45.050]I tried talking, just whispered,
[06:47.171]"...so sorry...so selfish..."
[06:50.091]He stopped me and said,
[06:51.685]"Child I love you regardless
[06:54.813]and there's nothing you could do that would ever change this.
[06:59.328]I'm not angry. It happens. But you just can't do it again."
[07:11.548]So now I try to keep up, I've been exchanging my currency.
[07:16.615]While a million objects pass through my periphery.
[07:21.669]Now I'm rubbing my eyes 'cause they're starting to bother me.
[07:26.455]I've been staring too long at the screen.
[07:31.236]But where was it when I first heard a sweet sound of humility?
[07:36.293]It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody.
[07:41.077]How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery,
[07:46.117]to love and to be loved.
[07:50.633]Let's just hope that is enough.
