It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)

Darkness at the break of noon[00:00:13]

Shadows even the silver spoon[00:00:15]

The handmade blade the child's balloon[00:00:16]

Eclipses both the sun and moon[00:00:17]

To understand you know too soon[00:00:18]

There is no sense in trying[00:00:21]

Pointed threats they bluff with scorn[00:00:24]

Suicide remarks are torn[00:00:25]

From the fool's gold mouthpiece[00:00:27]

The hollow horn plays wasted words[00:00:29]

Proves to warn[00:00:30]

That he not busy being born[00:00:30]

Is busy dying[00:00:32]

Temptation's page flies out the door[00:00:35]

You follow find yourself at war[00:00:37]

Watch waterfalls of pity roar[00:00:40]

You feel to moan but unlike before[00:00:42]

You discover[00:00:45]

That you'd just be[00:00:45]

One more person crying[00:00:46]

So don't fear if you hear[00:00:48]

A foreign sound to your ear[00:00:50]

It's all right Ma I'm only sighing[00:00:51]

As some warn victory some downfall[00:00:55]

Private reasons great or small[00:00:59]

Can be seen in the eyes of those that call[00:01:00]

To make all that should be killed to crawl[00:01:02]

While others say don't hate nothing at all[00:01:03]

Except hatred[00:01:05]

Disillusioned words like bullets bark[00:01:08]

As human gods aim for their mark[00:01:10]

Made everything from toy guns that spark[00:01:11]

To flesh colored Christs that glow in the dark[00:01:12]

It's easy to see without looking too far[00:01:13]

That not much[00:01:15]

Is really sacred[00:01:16]

While preachers preach of evil fates[00:01:17]

Teachers teach that knowledge waits[00:01:19]

Can lead to hundred dollar plates[00:01:20]

Goodness hides behind its gates[00:01:23]

But even the president of the United States[00:01:24]

Sometimes must have[00:01:25]

To stand naked[00:01:26]

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged[00:01:26]

It's only people's games that you got to dodge[00:01:29]

And it's all right Ma I can make it[00:01:31]

Advertising signs that con you[00:01:35]

Into thinking you're the one[00:01:54]

That can do what's never been done[00:01:55]

That can win what's never been won[00:01:57]

Meantime life outside goes on[00:01:57]

All around you[00:01:59]

You lose yourself you reappear[00:02:01]

You suddenly find you got nothing to fear[00:02:03]

Alone you stand with nobody near[00:02:04]

When a trembling distant voice unclear[00:02:05]

Startles your sleeping ears to hear[00:02:06]

That somebody thinks[00:02:07]

They really found you[00:02:08]

A question in your nerves is lit[00:02:11]

Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy[00:02:11]

Insure you not to quit[00:02:13]

To keep it in your mind and not fergit[00:02:14]

That it is not he or she or them or it[00:02:16]

That you belong to[00:02:18]

Although the masters make the rules[00:02:18]

For the wise men and the fools[00:02:20]

I got nothing Ma to live up to[00:02:21]

For them that must obey authority[00:02:24]

That they do not respect in any degree[00:02:26]

Who despise their jobs their destinies[00:02:29]

Speak jealously of them that are free[00:02:30]

Cultivate their flowers to be[00:02:31]

Nothing more than something[00:02:32]

They invest in[00:02:32]

While some on principles baptized[00:02:33]

To strict party platform ties[00:02:34]

Social clubs in drag disguise[00:02:35]

Outsiders they can freely criticize[00:02:36]

Tell nothing except who to idolize[00:02:37]

And then say God bless him[00:02:39]

While one who sings with his tongue on fire[00:02:41]

Gargles in the rat race choir[00:02:42]

Bent out of shape from society's pliers[00:02:43]

Cares not to come up any higher[00:02:46]

But rather get you down in the hole[00:02:51]

That he's in[00:02:52]

But I mean no harm nor put fault[00:02:52]

On anyone that lives in a vault[00:02:54]

But it's all right Ma if I can't please him[00:02:55]

Old lady judges watch people in pairs[00:02:57]

To push fake morals insult and stare[00:02:58]

While money doesn't talk it swears[00:02:59]

Obscenity who really cares[00:03:00]

Propaganda all is phony[00:03:01]

While them that defend what they cannot see[00:03:02]

With a killer's pride security[00:03:04]

It blows the minds most bitterly[00:03:05]

For them that think death's honesty[00:03:07]

Won't fall upon them naturally[00:03:08]

Life sometimes[00:03:09]

Must get lonely[00:03:09]

My eyes collide head on with stuffed graveyards[00:03:10]

False gods I scuff[00:03:11]

At pettiness which plays so rough[00:03:12]

Walk upside down inside handcuffs[00:03:14]

Kick my legs to crash it off[00:03:15]

Say okay I have had enough[00:03:16]

What else can you show me[00:03:18]

And if my thought dreams could be seen[00:03:19]

They'd probably put my head in a guillotine[00:03:21]

But it's all right Ma it's life and life only[00:03:23]
