	Darkness at the break of noon
	Shadows even the silver spoon
	The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
	Eclipses both the sun and moon
	To understand you know too soon
	There is no sense in trying

	Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
	Suicide remarks are torn
	From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
	Plays wasted words, proves to warn
	That he not busy being born is busy dying

	Temptation’s page flies out the door
	You follow, find yourself at war
	Watch waterfalls of pity roar
	You feel to moan but unlike before
	You discover that you’d just be one more
	Person crying

	So don’t fear if you hear
	A foreign sound to your ear
	It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing

	As some warn victory, some downfall
	Private reasons great or small
	Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
	To make all that should be killed to crawl
	While others say don’t hate nothing at all
	Except hatred

	Disillusioned words like bullets bark
	As human gods aim for their mark
	Make everything from toy guns that spark
	To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
	It’s easy to see without looking too far
	That not much is really sacred

	While preachers preach of evil fates
	Teachers teach that knowledge waits
	Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
	Goodness hides behind its gates
	But even the president of the United States
	Sometimes must have to stand naked

	An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged
	It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge
	And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it

	Advertising signs they con
	You into thinking you’re the one
	That can do what’s never been done
	That can win what’s never been won
	Meantime life outside goes on
	All around you

	You lose yourself, you reappear
	You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
	Alone you stand with nobody near
	When a trembling distant voice, unclear
	Startles your sleeping ears to hear
	That somebody thinks they really found you

	A question in your nerves is lit
	Yet you know there is no answer fit
	To satisfy, insure you not to quit
	To keep it in your mind and not forget
	That it is not he or she or them or it
	That you belong to

	Although the masters make the rules
	For the wise men and the fools
	I got nothing, Ma, to live up to

	For them that must obey authority
	That they do not respect in any degree
	Who despise their jobs, their destinies
	Speak jealously of them that are free
	Cultivate their flowers to be
	Nothing more than something they invest in

	While some on principles baptized
	To strict party platform ties
	Social clubs in drag disguise
	Outsiders they can freely criticize
	Tell nothing except who to idolize
	And then say God bless him

	While one who sings with his tongue on fire
	Gargles in the rat race choir
	Bent out of shape from society’s pliers
	Cares not to come up any higher
	But rather get you down in the hole
	That he’s in

	But I mean no harm nor put fault
	On anyone that lives in a vault
	But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him

	Old lady judges watch people in pairs
	Limited in sex, they dare
	To push fake morals, insult and stare
	While money doesn’t talk, it swears
	Obscenity, who really cares
	Propaganda, all is phony

	While them that defend what they cannot see
	With a killer’s pride, security
	It blows the minds most bitterly
	For them that think death’s honesty
	Won’t fall upon them naturally
	Life sometimes must get lonely

	My eyes collide head-on with stuffed
	Graveyards, false gods, I scuff
	At pettiness which plays so rough
	Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
	Kick my legs to crash it off
	Say okay, I have had enough, what else can you show me?

	And if my thought-dreams could be seen
	They’d probably put my head in a guillotine
	But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only

	Darkness at the break of noon
	Shadows even the silver spoon
	The handmade blade, the child' s balloon
	Eclipses both the sun and moon
	To understand you know too soon
	There is no sense in trying

	Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
