STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO |

"They Provide The Paint For The Picture Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint On The Insides Of Your Eyelids" |
| [00:08.16] |
* |
| [00:15.87] |
There is a man with no face |
| [00:18.24] |
And a name I don't remember |
| [00:19.43] |
Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods |
| [00:21.31] |
And he said once "Son, don't you ever laugh out loud for they are listening, |
| [00:23.52] |
Yes they are listening |
| [00:25.60] |
Oh you've got to be strong |
| [00:29.60] |
Oh, you've got to keep holding on |
| [00:33.07] |
It's now just a matter of time" |
| [00:39.35] |
(Head for the hills, go!) |
| [00:42.97] |
* |
| [00:56.05] |
They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece |
| [00:58.11] |
That you will paint on the insides of your eyelids; |
| [01:00.02] |
Can you possibly see anything you want to see? |
| [01:01.77] |
No (Hell No!) |
| [01:02.89] |
"There's nothing wrong with the way I see" |
| [01:04.02] |
And he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war |
| [01:05.83] |
He wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for |
| [01:08.19] |
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend, |
| [01:10.32] |
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend |
| [01:12.63] |
* |
| [01:19.93] |
I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing |
| [01:22.24] |
"Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end" |
| [01:24.05] |
And I never thought I'd never live to see another sunny day |
| [01:26.04] |
But I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end |
| [01:28.29] |
So watch your mouth |
| [01:29.29] |
Or you're going to make a grave mistake |
| [01:30.35] |
Hold your tongue |
| [01:31.16] |
Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head |
| [01:32.54] |
So watch your mouth |
| [01:33.34] |
Or you're going to make a grave mistake |
| [01:34.53] |
Don't die for anything less than the best of life |
| [01:36.97] |
* |
| [02:04.11] |
The things you said went to your head |
| [02:05.86] |
But you never tried to understand: |
| [02:07.67] |
What they'll take you will never take back what they take when take what they can |
| [02:10.29] |
Because they can from you |
| [02:11.79] |
You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why |
| [02:13.28] |
And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the |
| [02:15.41] |
"I don't care I just do what they say because they say what to do in a matter of fact way" |
| [02:19.65] |
But don't stop because you might get burned |
| [02:21.28] |
And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet |
| [02:23.58] |
And I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything |
| [02:26.51] |
That you hear in the street so well |
| [02:29.50] |
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well |
| [02:33.51] |
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well |
| [02:35.99] |
* |
| [02:43.49] |
And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end |
| [02:45.29] |
And even if it wasn't they decide they'd pretend |
| [02:47.29] |
And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering |
| [02:49.16] |
"You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end" |
| [02:51.53] |
* |
| [03:07.44] |
Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed |
| [03:09.26] |
I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed |
| [03:11.31] |
And I wake with his words resonating in my head |
| [03:13.37] |
And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said: |
| [03:15.37] |
So watch your mouth |
| [03:16.31] |
Or you're going to make a grave mistake |
| [03:17.42] |
Hold your tongue |
| [03:18.24] |
Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head |
| [03:19.55] |
So watch your mouth |
| [03:20.30] |
Or you're going to make a grave mistake |
| [03:21.42] |
Don't die for anything less than the best of, |
| [03:23.60] |
Everyone settles for the rest not the best of, |
| [03:25.61] |
I will die for no less than the best of life |
