Ariel and the River

Sleep in your homes all alone, is it what you wanted To dream that you've found control of yourself and everyone else, cause you know that you can have all that you want just as long as you give them a piece of it. No don't go thinking that you own all that stuff that you hold so dear to you Cause they can take it if they want it and you'll be left with nothing but to listen to the world, yea it's all there in between we are only what they want us to be. And open up your eyes, take a look at what you see we are only what they want us to be Those were pearls that were her eyes with diamond fingers, emerald thighs, and golden calves that reach so high her silk blonde hair was in the sky. With people bowing in the streets all out there working underneath to power up electric feet that stood each swallowing the river there that ran between her legs and onward up into her head. For years they'd built their world around her till the river dried up dead and then she spit out what was left of it splashing out into the streets the mighty wave that they'd created crashing dancing over everything and out into the world until there's nothing left that's free and we are only what they wants us to be. And open up your eyes, take a look at what you see, we are only what they want us to be. Well it might be me, maybe this is meant to be in a world where nothing's determined anyway. But I like Albert can't see how something as simple as you and me can just decide what they're provided with is all there is to be. But what if there's no such thing as a good thing or a bad thing? Yea and what if everything is the same as everything? Then who's to care when there's nobody there as we all join together now to to see? That we are only what they want us to be. We are only what they want us to be. We are only what they want us to be. We are only what they want us to be.
