LOSE THE APPLE
Let's lose the the appleLet's lose the blameLet's lose the right
Let's lose the nameLet's lose the sin The guiltAnd the shameLet's lose the game
Let's lose the defenceLet the armour delayLet's lose the fate divine
Lose the plan todayNo need to beat these guysWe were cheating anyway
Let's lose the game
Bridge:Here there was a footprintBut it don't look like that now
Someone's gave and changed itAltered; it somehowOver there is reason
And over there is rightOver here is envyOver here is night
Let's lose the arrowsDrop the pearly gatesLet flags fall like apple now
Give the serpents no more baitLet's lose the fear that has yetTo be named
Let's lose the game
Bridge:Over there's a shadowMemory holds like glueOver there are fingerprints
Hard evidence tooBut over hear's imaginationSupposition, fabrication
Belief and fear so closely twinedA knot that reason can't unwind
Let's lose our fingersHearts reduce to clayLet's lose our instincts
Let's get down and prayOld retribution is thePep talk for today
Let's lose the game
IN A SALIENT WAY By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
Words evolving, quick-like, become efficient as your weapons
Which make today's killings seem labour intensive
And when you shriek at the archaic nature of our
Brutality, know that people were shrieking here
And when you laugh at the voodoo, at the bullshitAnd the wasted time,
and at the pomp and stupidity of our kings, know that people were laughing now?
Outside history's closed doors,
there's the ongoing chuckle of people laughing and bleeding
And it's all as funny as skin
