Lyrics

It?s a long, long road,
To the kingdom of heaven.
Too many snake eyes,
Hardly no lucky sevens.
Always the same, playin? this funky game,
Designed by a freak-frocked, cosmic, sado-fascist.

A stone cell nation of one,
A sound-proof sacrament.
A stage of inner rage,
And soft lament.

But it?s not all that bad - in fact -
The best I ever had,
Was a comedian?s part in a play
By a shaman satirist.

People talk about freedom,
But they?re shackled to themselves.
Why can?t anybody
Ever see anyone else?
Anything...
Besides themselves.

And its a long, long road
To the center of your soul.
So many obstacles
Within an everlasting threshold.

And I don?t wanna? be a tout,
But I?d like you to hear me out,
Sometimes you just gotta? give in,
And give out.

And I highly recommend,
Take the scenic route.
