The Eternal Tao

T.E. ?
T.E.T. cannot be whispered
T.E.T.
T.E.T.
The Tao can't be sung
I long to know what is beyond me
I try to change what I should not change
Realistically optimistic
I'm a philosopher, not a mystic
No more playing now, I'm on a mission
But I forgive a man if he doesn't listen
I see Lucifer makes a good living
A philosophy so limiting

Everyone got decisions to make
Oh, yeah, baby, got bills to pay
The truth lies beyond what you see
I'm not mad at you

When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don’t know who’s feeding it to you
When I was sixteen
When I was sixteen
Nobody believed
Music's for you
When my turn it comes
When my turn it comes
I will tear the system apart

Now we build statues of robots
Humanity is already a memory

Nothing’s black or white, it's all grey
Honesty without tack is cruelty
Nothing turns me on like what you say
Bending towards pending demise

When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was sixteen
When I was si-sixteen
Nobody believed
Music’s for you
It's harder than I thought
But when my time it comes
Will I be prepared?
I guess we'll see

End of the daydream
Nine zillion lane highway
Was not part of the deal

When I get my way
When I get my way (nothing is ever)
When I get my way (deleted anymore)
When I get my way
When I get my way
When I get my way (the mind wants to play)
When I get my way
(Free from the assembly line of thought)
