Realisation Song

A falseweak sun at the break of dawn
Tugs at hearts bent on being forlorn
Till a fad of farse and fault is born
A fad which we all secretly want to belong to

And those of you who empathise
With shallowsheep in wolf's disguise
Who know nothing but still criticise
Their lungs full to the brim with blackhole lies:
Do you really think that you ought to?

And those of you with shirts and ties
Who never witness the change of skies
Or suns and moons, but mere hellogoodbyes
It's time that you wipe the sand out of your eyes
And realise that our world is stark naked

But don't you blame
Another name
For in the end we're all the same
Stuck together in a go-go game
That goes on and on, oh what a shame
That we cannot escape this spiral

And those of us who fall in love
With hope that there are harps above
Will fall out of it soon enough
When we realise that haloed men don't exist here

And I'm not here
To bring you down
I'm not here to witness frowns
All I want, babe
Is to wipe that sand out of your eyes

Just realise,
Realise,
Realise;
And wipe that sand out of your eyes
And then it's pretty easy
To smile as long as you're alive----
Just avoid the rules of human beehives

And when the coast
Is sharply clear
Bottoms up to your mug of beer
Let music crawl inside your ears
And dissipate all your fears
You'll find out, man
It ain't that hard to smile forever

'Cause all I want, babe
Is to see you smiling.
