Fighting In A Sack lyrics

Just last night I woke from some unconscionable dream
and had it nailed to my forehead again
to keep this boat afloat
there are things you can`t afford to know
so I save all my breath for the sails.

But you`ll find those lingering voices
are just your ego`s attempt to make it all clean and nice
and make a moron out of you
walking a bridge with weakening cables
huddled up in fear and hate because we know our fate
and it`s a lot to put us through.

Most ideas turn to dust
as there are few in which we all can trust
haven`t you noticed I`ve been shedding all of mind?
So let`s abandon that track
and leave our fathers fighting in a sack
cause we are way too wise-assed for that.

You might find some fools at your doorstep
hustling the latest changes to the book
that`s the strangest in an attempt to multiply
marionettes on weakening cables
huddled up with fear and hate
because they know their fate and it`s a lot to put them through.

We`ve taken on a climb
and it`s long enough to put the best of us on our backs
walking up a slide
and there are those we know who`d have us five miles off the track.

But you`ll find those lingering voices
are just your ego`s attempt to make it all clean and nice
and make a moron out of you
crossing the brindge on weakening cables
huddled up with fear and hate because we know our fate
and it`s a lot to put us through.
