Straight At Yer Head

Lyrics

I want to taste a new dessert
 To see how other people work
 To see them irrigate the dirt
 With water from a bank.
 I took my tape and tape recorder
 And made my way up to the border
 Where I received a legal order
 From a man who drove a tank.
 Wanted to see another country
 But the country wouldn't have me
 They said they have a new policy
 To protect their economy.
 I said I want to see your city
 They said they couldn't entertain me
 They said they simply had too many
 And If I tried they would detain me.
 He said, You haven't any place here
 Why you show your face here?
 I'll keep you at the base here
 Don't move til you're told.
 He returned with the command
 Go back to your land. The only way to enter is with gold.
 What you get is what you see not what they say (x5)
 A promise in a second. The truth will take a day
 To see the truth in every step along the way
 Is like a child that learns to judge within his play
 I want to turn my water to wine, but I'm not divine
 So I must feel work to do it.
 I want to turn their sorrow to salt, the weak to the strong
 So we've got to think our way through it.
 Closing in from all quarters. Pressure to achieve is like I'm forced to grow
 All your sons and your daughters. They have to fight to keep the little that they know
 I never wanted to be free until I knew I was in prison
 I didn't know I was a key until I unlocked the pain in living'
 I want to see the vegetation To inspire my vocation
 To see the plans of every nation. Hear the words from their hearts.
 Won't rest 'til the folks sing tunes from the heart string sounds from the true springs of our histories
 Confessed let them come through lives that evade you born to renew and explain our mysteries
 Your eyes won't lie when they're allowed to see
 Your sun, your skies see that you're allowed to be
 Your reason why so we're wise to take heed
 Your time, your earth, so plant your seeds (x3)
 Plant your seeds [Repeat]
