[Verse]
There may be an Om in moment
But there s very few folk in focus
Not the first, not the last, not the least
You needn t be well to be wealthy
But you ve got to be whole to be holy
Fetch the rope, fetch the clock, fetch the priest
[Bridge]
Oh this planet of ours is a mess
I bet heaven s the same
Look the madman said Son
As a friend tell me what s in a name.
Hallowed be thy name
[Verse]
I give you the state of statesmen
And the key to what motivates them
On the left, on the right, on the nail
Still I don t see a man in a mansion
That an accurate pen wouldn t puncture
Go to town, go to hell, go to jail
[Bridge]
And there s bars and saloons
Where the jukebox plays blues in the night
Till the madman says Son
Time to go we could both use some light
And thy will be done
[Verse]
We live in an age of cages
The tale of an ape escaping
In the search for some truth he can use
But many a drunk got drunker
And mostly a thinker, a thunker
Set the place, set the time, set the fuse
[Bridge]
The optimist laughed and the
pessimist cried in his wine
And the madman said Son
Take a word they ll all wake given time
Let thy kingdom come
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The madman and I got drunker
Til both thought the other thank you
And we laughed all the way to the stars
[Bridge]
The optimist asked for a taste
of the pessimist s wine
And the madman said son
How do you feel? I said Me? I feel fine
Lead me into temptation
Into temptation
I said into temptation
I need my allocation, of recreation
I want a revelation, in degradation
No hesitation, give me variation, give me inspiration
