lyrics

Their eyes can’t see and their ears won’t hear
They speak of narrow streets my children fear
Messages ride on waves day and night
False prophets read their scripts from under a spot light

Chorus:
Why do I listen and not turn away
I sit in faithful silence and hear them bray
With a flick of a switch it could all be gone
Icons hiding in glass would cease to babel on

Saturday morning starts with a glow
Psyco-fantasy heroes somehow save the show
We look to the stars searching for some kind of truth
A twisted make-believe world clouds our youth

Chorus

Its a world we see but we cannot touch
We long to be like those who don’t know much
As I walk through the forest and the hills
I can feel the force of life banish celluloid chills

Why do I listen And not turn away...
