A man can tell a thousand lies,
I’ve learned my lesson well
Here’s the deal
Open your eyes
Your life is a lie
Don’t say a word
I’ll tell you why
You’re living a lie
Your life is a lie
Tell me that you’ll open your eyes –
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
till then, it will burn inside of me
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
Will you tell me what you saw
and I’ll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
If I could fly, then I would know,
what life looks like from up above and down below
It all will fall,
fall right into place
Gravity release me,
and don’t ever hold me down.
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
If you, the reader of these lines,
personally use the words up and down,
you, too, are as yet imprisoned in the Dark Ages.
There are no parallels on the surface of the Earth;
what may appear to be parallel radiates from the center of the Earth.
There is no up and down in Universe; in, out, and around exist.
Buckminster Fuller
Cosmography : A Posthumous Scenario for the Future of Humanity
Up and down
And in the end it’s only
round and round
I’ve been looking so long
at these pictures of you
that I almost
believe that they’re real
They painted up your secrets,
with the lies they told to you –
And the least they ever gave you,
was the most you ever knew
The picture you see is no portrait of me –
It’s too real to be shown to someone I don’t know
I do think it a tragedy, however, that government school children are left in the dark about the existence of influential groups with complex social agendas
aimed at their lives.
John Taylor Gatto
The Underground History of American Education
We don’t need no education –
We don’t need no thought control
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you’ll see what I mean…
Cause its all in my head –
I think about it over and over again
You can resurrect a thousand words
to deceive me more and more
Over and over and over again
Again and again and again and again and again…
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall –
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
Spaceboy, you’re sleepy now –
Your silhouette is so stationary
I wanna hide the truth –
I wanna shelter you –
But with the beast inside,
There’s nowhere we can hide
The truth is never far behind
You’ve kept it hidden well
I see colour raining down –
Feral feeling, swaying sound –
But I don’t know what you want
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky
Birds fly over the rainbow,
why then, oh why can’t I?
Judy Garland
Over the Rainbow
The Wizard of Oz
Tongue-tied and twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit, I
