lyrics

Manfred: Get inside and please stay a while as I
change the subject to a far more plausible cause, take in my thoughts on rights and laws
Remember that to find your way, you must follow the ways of these elders

people who have set the standards long before this day
they showed that they were meant to lead the way
and those today with power like abusing those who feel a different way

Disagree? You just fail to see the light, you think your
crazed ideas have any value at all, they make us laugh until we fall
remember that you’re wasting time, and then you’ll miss the call

You’ll be stuck as years from now you’re working at a trade
and day to day you’ll always do the same, again
you’ll envy us with collars white, the bright successful men

Student: All these days pass by
I never seem to want to try,
Not being partial to the stiff and brittle life
And I am different from you
That’s alright, ideas are new
Innovation always moves us forward to a
Better peace of mind, existence moved in time, why?

And more days pass by
Am I living a lie?
Not being partial to the stiff and brittle life
And I like working at a trade
I can contribute either way
But even though I’m feeling right, seeds of doubt just seem to
Rise in my mind, it happens all the time, why?
