We think we know the answers It's there in black and white for all to see Yet look beyond the madness Another truth, another world for you and me Show you open doors To use your mind and think Lead you to the shore To the water, but you have to want to drink And once I too was blinded Believing what was told for all to hear We're all so simple-minded Another lie, another life controlled by fear Show you open thoughts Oppression now defied Reveal the truth, distraught At the prophecy, our journey's end is nigh Condemn the crazy man His eyes are filled with sadness With chalkboard prophecy Foretold, we turn away Just walk on by Don't stare, don't look him in the eye His ranting insane, profane Just turn and walk away He's seen on every city corner A human wreck, around his neck a chalkboard sign But is he mad or sent to warn us To take control and save us all before it's time Tolling of the bell A final desperate plea Heed the tale he tells I know the truth, that crazy man is me Condemn the crazy man His eyes are filled with sadness With chalkboard prophecy Foretold, we turn away He's just a crazy man His mind is lost in madness Are we too blind to see That he's the one who's sane?
