DULL AS DIRT YOU CAN’T ASSERT THE KIND OF LIGHT THAT MIGHT PERSUADE A
STRICT DICTATOR TO RETIRE FIRE THE ARMY TEACH THE POOR ORIGAMI
THE TRUTH IS IN THE PROOF IS WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR HEART START ASKIN’
WHAT’S MY MOTIVATION
AND TRY AS YOU MAY THERE ISN’T A WAY TO
EXPLAIN THE KIND OF CHANGE THAT WOULD MAKE AN ESKIMO RENOUNCE FUR THAT
WOULD MAKE A VEGETARIAN BARBECUE HAMPSTER
UNLESS YOU CAN TRACE THIS ABOUT-FACE TO A CERTAIN SIGN
SHINE MAKE ‘EM WONDER WHAT YOU’VE GOT
MAKE ‘EM WISH THAT THEY WERE NOT ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKIN’ BORED
SHINE LET IT SHINE BEFORE ALL MEN
LET ‘EM SEE GOOD WORKS AND THEN LET ‘EM GLORIFY THE LORD
OUT OF THE SHAKER AND ONTO THE PLATE IT ISN’T KARMA IT SURE AIN’T FATE
THAT WOULD MAKE A DEADHEAD SELL HIS VAN THAT WOULD MAKE A
SCHIZOPHRENIC TURN IN HIS CRAYONS
OPRAH FREAKS AND SCIENCE SEEKS A RATIONAL THAT SHALL
EXCUSE THIS STRANGE BEHAVIOR
WHEN YOU LET IT SHINE YOU WILL INSPIRE THE
KIND OF ENTIRE TURN AROUND THE WOULD MAKE A BOUNCER TAKE BALLET
(EVEN BOUNCERS WHO AREN’T.. HAPPY)
BUT OUT OF THE GLARE WITH NOWHERE TO TURN
YOU AIN’T GONNA LEARN IT ON WHAT’S MY LINE
