lyrics

Pressed hard against the ground,
I'm shocked to find legions of men walking atop me,
all with one face!
Seemingly void of negative emotion, but their eyes...
Oh their eyes! They are so empty!
Suddenly I see another like me
pinned below these bizarre creatures
wrapped in the guise of man.
His eyes alight with thought,
his face ablaze with torment,
and to him I implore:

"Why not rise up from the ground, dear man?
You simply can't prefer the view from here!"

"Oh I'd rather hug the ground
than stand with those above!
Their soulless eyes I quite despise,
besides, it's all I know!"

I'll not have such brilliant minds
held down by such fools!

"Why not rise from the ground, dear friend?
Surely you can't believe these men could rival you!"

"Quite not! But do observe that I am merely one!
And they, a sea of stupidity! I'll never win!"

Well I'll not let such dreadful minds
pin me to the floor!

Oh this is absurd!
I've never seen such a sorry scenario.
And I'll not sit idly by, oh no, that just will not do!

I stand amidst debris and broken shards
of thoughtlessness and thought.
The resulting image
of a sampling of my will.
A sarcastic semi-smile darts along my face...
Oh how hard they fell...

I say now; "Why not rise up off the ground?
You silly man!
See there, I've laid to waste your sad complaint,
you've no restraint!"

"I see you've turned these fellows' bliss to misery.
Well, better you than me...
You see, a thoughtless mass is still a mass indeed!"

Hmmm, it's true those from below rejoice
while those of subdued thoughts recoil in pain
as crimson flows from their collective face...
Oh what a race!

It seems their skin was set,
not for a scowl, but for a smile!
Hey! What can I say?
I'm simply not one to regret!
