Slow Down

I'd like to take a moment I won't tell you my name But I have eyes and I have seen And felt Gehenna's flame Yes, I am a sinner A lost fish and a fool It's hard to navigate the waters In this muddy pool To me it is so obvious But it might be news to you It don't matter what color the man If he's red or if he's blue If you believe in what he says Then don't trust your own ears You're the master of your purse And he's just selling fear So slow down Slow down You're the master of your purse And he's just selling fear We are all just pilgrims Wandering this earth So it is and always will be Until our rebirth We're all bent and broken Birds that ain't got wings To those at the top, well Those below don't mean a thing Yes, up the chain of this command The blind lead the blind You can change the voice that's leading 'em on But you cannot change their minds Oh, and when the blind start swingin' And they cut you and you bleed Don't give in to your hatred Or you ain't never gonna be free Just slow down Slow down Don't give in to your hatred Or you ain't never gonna be free Way back in the garden God was on our side We ate the fruit and ever since We've been trying to hide We didn't want the burden Of the blame upon our back So we put it on our rib instead But the weight caused it to crack And if there's one thing that I've learned One thing that I know Just like all their lowly peasants Kings, they come and go So if you see them two roads split Take the one less trodden on Forgiveness is a heavy thing But you'll need it when you're gone I said, slow down Slow down Forgiveness is a heavy thing But you'll need it when you're gone I said, forgiveness is a heavy thing But you'll need it when you're gone I said, forgiveness is a heavy thing But you'll need it when you're gone
