They Provide the Paint for the Picture-Perfect Masterpiece - Streetlight Manifesto[00:00:00]

There is a man with no face[00:00:16]

And a name I don't remember[00:00:18]

Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods[00:00:19]

And he said once "[00:00:22]

Son don't you ever laugh out loud for they are listening [00:00:23]

Yes they are listening[00:00:25]

Oh you've got to be strong[00:00:26]

Oh you've got to keep holding on[00:00:30]

It's now just a matter of time"[00:00:32]

(Head for the hills go )[00:00:39]

They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece[00:00:56]

That you will paint on the insides of your eyelids;[00:00:58]

Can you possibly see anything you want to see [00:01:00]

No (Hell No )[00:01:02]

"There's nothing wrong with the way I see"[00:01:03]

And he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war[00:01:04]

He wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for[00:01:06]

And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend [00:01:09]

And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend[00:01:12]

I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing[00:01:20]

"Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end"[00:01:22]

And I never thought I'd never live to see another sunny day[00:01:24]

But I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end[00:01:26]

So watch your mouth[00:01:28]

Or you're going to make a grave mistake[00:01:29]

Hold your tongue[00:01:31]

Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head[00:01:31]

So watch your mouth[00:01:33]

Or you're going to make a grave mistake[00:01:34]

Don't die for anything less than the best of life[00:01:35]

The things you said went to your head[00:02:04]

But you never tried to understand:[00:02:06]

What they'll take you will never take back what they take when take what they can[00:02:08]

Because they can from you[00:02:11]

You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why[00:02:11]

And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the[00:02:13]

"I don't know I just do what they say because they say what to do in a matter of fact way"[00:02:15]

But don't stop because you might get burned[00:02:20]

And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet[00:02:21]

And I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything[00:02:23]

That you hear in the street so well[00:02:25]

You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well[00:02:29]

You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well[00:02:33]

And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end[00:02:42]

And even if it wasn't they decide they'd pretend[00:02:45]

And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering[00:02:47]

"You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end"[00:02:49]

Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed[00:03:07]

I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed[00:03:09]

And I wake with his words resonating in my head[00:03:11]

And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said[00:03:13]

He said:[00:03:15]

So watch your mouth[00:03:16]

Or you're going to make a grave mistake[00:03:16]

Hold your tongue[00:03:18]

Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head[00:03:18]

So watch your mouth[00:03:20]

Or you're going to make a grave mistake[00:03:21]

Don't die for anything less than the best of [00:03:22]

Everyone settles for the rest not the best of [00:03:24]

I will die for no less than the best of life[00:03:25]
