Lyrics

And now it seems as if we're used to the shegree We made our beds And now we hate where these beds be Took nothing at all to part this Red Sea I'm a shackled child Singing the good song of freedom They've got no pride They interrupt our grieving Tear drops dropping For the pain of the world My best friend dies When she was just a young girl Left me here to fend for myself Now the pain never leaves We just learn to cope So when the devil needs hangin' Will you tie up the rope And shout, "Pull"? Let's put an end to this bull Zen thing How many years Before we practice what we preach How many tears Before we truly clinch the peak Only to find that There is no honey on the moon Official goon With the unofficial croon I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest 16 bar cycles Heart felt recital From the wacky, blacky man They should have called me Michael Look at the monster you make Look at the monster you pay But you claim no responsibility 'Cause it's each to his self In these times that we live Does God have a sense of humor Then the joke's on us 'Cause we're chasing our tails for how long The tussle makes us how strong Vintage poor people fun If we could ease up on these booze and fags Then, just maybe life wouldn't be so mad "Be a man", my dad said But what the hell he know He lost his dreams He lost his flow And I don't wanna be alone I'm born King so where's my throne? I'm too intense, I'm too deep, I'm too nice for life So what makes this place so nervous? I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest Look at the monster you make Look at the monster you pay But you claim no responsibility But you claim not We're searching for Jesus But I'll be damned if I'll be crucified By 10, 000 spies, compulsive lies They hate me, they love me, they hate me 'Cause I'm all things to all men All of the women, all the children Just say when and I'll take you to my tardis Who's the hardest, who's the hardest
