lyrics

I don't believe I asked for your approval
But I won't deny I'd hoped for more
I was no threat to your isolated life
But if it must be war then let it be war
Unable to accept a different way of life
Blinker your mind and shutter your eyes

I won't live in fear of what you say
All you have are words
And words are never enough

Now silence reigns between us
Except for your your cries
I won't give in to your betrayal
Won't be taken in by your lies
Unable to accept a different way of life
Another way of thinking or a different way to be
Blinker your mind and shutter your eyes
And hand-make your world view into what you want to see

Blessed are the un-borne
And blessed are the dead
For they truly understand
And If they could speak they'd tell you
That if all you have are words
It will never be enough
Don't preach to me, your words are never enough

I won't be waiting for judgement day
As I stand here open and unafraid
I won't live in fear of what you say
For all you have left are words
And words are never enough
No, words are never enough

This guy... I'd say he's a modern Todd Rundgren, but apparently Todd Rundgren is a modern Todd Rundgren, so let's just call John Bassett a Prog-igy. The CD bundle=absolute value; I enjoy it every day. Thank you, John! A
