lyrics

Y'know if i ain't know any better/
I would say this was a set-up/
Well, guess what...?/
Probably best if you watch your step, huh?/
Know where you at..../
Don't you dare relax/
Wide angle with the vision/
Gotta watch who you starin’ at/
Can't explain it all/
Trust I would if I could/
One of few that's built to survive/
The hood and the woods/
Many faces will turncoat/
Henry David, I'm thorough/
I don't take you for your word though/
I'ma light the flame/
Let it all burn slow/

(Kesey)
Uh, we went wild for awhile
We went wild because
We'd been caged up for 50,000 years
We went wild and found out
That there was more than we
Had been led to believe…

Life is too short/
'Specially when you live dangerous/
If you seen the way we came up/
Stuff nightmares are made of/
Might say I'm flyin off the chain but/
My third eye say it's time to wake up/
I'ma shake the table 'til I'm gone/
I'ma ride the wave that I'm on/
Y'all don't take the blame when you’re wrong/
Not afraid to put your name on a song/
Gotta learn to practice discernment/
Comin 'round wolves acting nervous/
Lights cameras action, lift the curtains/
Lookin' like some clowns in the circus/'
Bout to catch a case in a minute/
Run up with the thing if you slippin'/
Heard 'em say there's just certain games/
You don't even know you playin’ 'til you in it/
Is it political or criminal?/Put it that way/
Can't say the difference/
Cynical but it's pitiful/
Think its all a big mistake but it isn't/
Sometimes the truth is/
Really much stranger than fiction/

(Kesey)

And now, unless we start finding
The little piece of it
That we can cull the reigns
It's gonna get away from us
This doesn't necessarily mean
You stop taking acid
But you stop repeating the trips

Every head knows…that, uh
He takes a drug…
To eventually stop taking it
And I think that it's, uh…
Time for a great number of them…to stop
