[offset:-100]
[00:19.36]Darkness at the break of noon
[00:20.96]Shadows even the silver spoon
[00:22.93]The handmade blade, the child's balloon
[00:24.73]Eclipses both the sun and moon
[00:26.54]To understand you know too soon
[00:28.64]There is no sense in trying.
[00:39.50]Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
[00:41.08]Suicide remarks are torn
[00:42.82]From the fool's gold mouthpiece
[00:44.99]The hollow horn plays wasted words
[00:46.19]Proves to warn
[00:47.38]That he not busy being born
[00:48.62]Is busy dying.
[00:58.38]Temptation's page flies out the door
[01:00.02]You follow, find yourself at war
[01:02.17]Watch waterfalls of pity roar
[01:04.41]You feel to moan but unlike before
[01:06.20]You discover
[01:06.99]That you'd just be
[01:07.79]One more person crying.
[01:17.36]So don't fear if you hear
[01:21.52]A foreign sound to your ear
[01:25.79]It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.
[01:56.45]A question in your nerves is lit
[01:58.15]Yet you know there is no answer fit
[02:00.07]To satisfy, insure you not to quit
[02:02.19]To keep it in your mind and not forget
[02:04.11]That it is not he or she or them or it
[02:05.97]That you belong to
[02:15.60]Although the masters make the rules
[02:20.11]For the wise men and the fools
[02:24.11]I've got nothing, Ma, to live up to
[02:39.37]For them that must obey authority
[02:41.05]That they do not respect in any degree
[02:43.05]Who despise their jobs, their destinies
[02:45.35]Speak jealously of them that are free
[02:47.25]Do what they do just to be nothing more
[02:49.33]Than something they invest in
