Lyrics
Come on, my friend, just sit right here
and smoke this pipe with me
Let the walls of this room be a shelter for the free.
What I’ve seen, I want to tell you
You can let me know it if you think that I’m crazy
One thing’s certain:
It’s me or it is them.
Outside my window a thousand flags,
I’m not sure which one’s mine
I listen to the hum of voices of a single mind.
Wonder if they can not see where this is going,
Or is that a question that would make me a traitor?
My baby, these walls won’t save us then.
Chorus:
Can you see it?
And there’s no doubt about it:
The emperor’s got no clothes.
Come on, feel it,
and tell me about it
You better do ‘cause you know,
I’ve been feeling all alone.
(Guitar/Flute solo)
(Chorus)
They know why they are fighting,
but not what they’re fighting for
They’ve put us in the cages where they kept the dogs of war.
Theirs is a today that will not have tomorrows,
a simple mind is all you need to see the absurdity;
I tell you,
There is another way
There must be another way
There must be another way
All right.
