Parrot

Your frustration has a face
 But the guard said "no picture!"
 You're studying the past
 And you mastermind the future
 We all dreamt of a rise
 But we kept waiting for permission
 You have a head full of the fight
 And you won't win the election
 So listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 So many babblers in the night
 Selling out the same pollution:
 "Have a last thought for the light
 Before darkness wins the auction"
 We were poets in exile
 We were crappy little smokers
 It was written in a file
 By someone in the ghetto
 So listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 Is this a terminal world
 Or just crippling entertainment?
 It was cries that I heard
 And It was coming from the basement
 So listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
 Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat
