Parallels

Well she spoke to me with no warning

Silencing me with a wave of her hand

I could sense a new habit forming

Where I obeyed her every command

She said: climb to the highest mountain

Soar to the top of the tree

There you’ll see all the visions forming

Brought forth the same way as you and me

And in my face she screamed that we were born

In the parallels between freak and norm

In the parallels between young and old

In the parallels between love and gold

In the parallels between black and white

In the raw grey matter no wrong or right

In the parallels all living life

In the parallels all living life

And the color green like money thrown

Into the wind of a raging storm

With an iron fist we are often told

Of the parallels between war and gold

In the parallels between black and white

In the raw grey matter no wrong or right

In the parallels all living life

In the parallels just living life

To the parallels of the modern world

And the parallels between war and gold

And the color green like money poured

Into the face of a raging storm

Where the thief runs free and the hero dies

And all because they would spin the lies

In the parallels all living life

Spin the lies

In the parallels all living life
