People always frown
When they ask me where I'm from
They don't know what we know
And we know our time has come
They shake their heads and I see their dread
As they begin to shout
I close my eyes, bid them goodbye
And say turn on, tune in, drop out
Know your place
You've done it again
Discourse today of course
Is a greedy wheel of evil
Take what you can forsake your fellow man
And leave him writhing in the dust
Through my third eye I can see the sky
I see fields of violet-hued lotus
Lost in a haze? Or just your starry gaze
Can bet my mind ain't slowing down.
Reprise - to no surprise
The good will turn in your shadow
They'll hunt you down and break your jagged crown
And then they'll thank you for the fun
Take what you've heard not as a solemn word
But as a gift - and here's one to follow
If all else fails, forsake all the details
And come and join us in the mud
Know your place
You've done it again
