Just a Test

It's like a flag at half-mast as frames click fast Not a thing will last as past is past It's like stacks of thoughts that got played and worn Used over and over 'til they were tired and torn Like a broken clock that can't tell time Like a thick-ass book that's filled with wack rhymes Like a scorchin' blaze that burned the sand Like a band that planned and planned and planned And flew down like a raven in the dark of night Snatched up the worm helpless to fight And brought it back to the nest, singing microphone check One-two, one-two, this is just a test One-two, one-two, this is just a test One-two, one-two, this is just a test It's like sand in one hand, you can't hold for long Like schemin' on a plan that goes all wrong It's like fudge and caramel, they're not the same And it's a shame all you talk is game You act like a diamond, waitin' to be set In a gold ring, as if, I bet As time goes by, in this give and take As long as I learn, I will make mistakes Now what do I want? What do I need? Why do I want it? What's in it for me? It's the imagery of technology Is what you get is what you see Don't worry your mind, when you give it your best One-two, one-two, this is just a test One-two, one-two, this is just a test One-two, one-two, this is just a test
