The Conflict lyrics

You can`t deal with the problem on the surface anymore
go for the root -
and put your boot in the door
knock down the walls
and get right to the core
go for the root
brush off the dust when you find it
now`s the time to explore
go for the root

it`s the conflict between fact and meaning
I`m living proof

and you can`t scale the walls
`cos there`s an armed guard on the roof
go for the root
just found a crack in the foundations
we`ll drill ourselves a way
right to the root
brush off the dust when you find it
now`s the time to explore
go for the root

you can`t deal with the problem on the surface anymore
go for the root
it`s the conflict between fact and meaning
I`m living proof

when you watch the starving thousands
on the channel of your choice my friend
you`re an audience for war
but you`re always switching sides
it`s like looking at a landscape
through a microscope in the middle of the night -
even half a revolution
would only bring you light
go for the root

you`re so messed up by politics lady
there`s nothing exotic in poverty
go for the root
where do you get your information
from a dream or a twenty four inch screen

brush off the dust when you find it
now`s the time to explore
go for the root
you can`t deal with the problem on the surface anymore
go for the root
