lyrics

Some days I gotta rage against all that’s gone wrong,
Some days the blankets are heavy,
And the morning gets late, but it ain’t like meditation,
When my mind is racing and my bed is a prison.

Some days I wake with a purpose,
Some little deed to make somebody happy,
And in the afternoon light not quite crucifixion,
Some small sacrifice of fundamental convictions,
And I submit to this world of Ones and Zeros,
As we pave over Nature with our good intentions,
In wave after wave of Ones and Zeros.
Ones and Zeros

And everyone’s feeding on the Devil’s Apple.
Everyone’s feeding on the Devil’s Apple.
Feeding the addiction to access information,
Not seeking knowledge or truth, but self-affirmation.

Cells degenerate,
Cells, they radiate,
Prison cells, Prison cells,
Prison cell windows on the world out there,
Prison cell windows on the world out there,
Out there, out there, out there in a world of fresh air,
And bike rides, and playground, and basketball courts,
And bonfires on beaches, and a fresh spring breeze,
And a band in a bar, down on the corner,
And a band in a bar, down on the corner,

But some days, some days the blankets are heavy,
How long can I lay here without moving my body.

Some days,
Some days.
