[00:00.00]"They Provide The Paint For The Picture Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint On The Insides Of Your Eyelids (Bandits of a Acoustic Revolution Cover)"
[00:00.01]*
[00:16.88]There is a man with no face
[00:18.67]And a name I don't remember
[00:19.95]Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods
[00:21.92]And he said once "Son, don't you ever laugh out loud for they are listening,
[00:25.17]Yes they are listening
[00:26.09]Oh you've got to be strong
[00:30.20]Oh, you've got to keep holding on
[00:33.34]It's now just a matter of time"
[00:39.83](Head for the hills, go!)
[00:41.11]*
[00:56.64]They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece
[00:58.07]That you will paint on the insides of your eyelids;
[01:00.48]Can you possibly see anything you want to see?
[01:02.10]No  [bad word] No!)
[01:03.21]"There's nothing wrong with the way I see"
[01:04.40]And he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war
[01:06.19]He wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for
[01:08.58]And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend,
[01:10.88]And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend
[01:13.25]*
[01:20.26]I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing
[01:22.39]"Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end"
[01:24.43]And I never thought I'd never live to see another sunny day
[01:26.48]But I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end
[01:28.79]So watch your mouth
[01:29.72]Or you're going to make a grave mistake
[01:30.66]Hold your tongue
[01:31.60]Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head
[01:32.79]So watch your mouth
[01:33.66]Or you're going to make a grave mistake
[01:34.94]Don't die for anything less than the best of life
[01:37.40]*
[02:04.11]The things you said went to your head
[02:06.18]But you never tried to understand:
[02:08.22]What they'll take you will never take back what they take when take what they can
[02:11.19]Because they can from you
[02:12.15]You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why
[02:13.66]And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the
[02:16.28]"I don't care I just do what they say because they say what to do in a matter of fact way"
[02:20.12]But don't stop because you might get burned
[02:21.76]And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet
[02:24.30]And I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything
[02:26.62]That you hear in the street so well
[02:30.01]You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well
[02:33.94]You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well
[02:36.52]*
[02:43.43]And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end
[02:45.72]And even if it wasn't they decide they'd pretend
[02:47.77]And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering
[02:49.73]"You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end"
[02:52.56]*
[03:07.39]Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed
[03:09.69]I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed
[03:11.83]And I wake with his words resonating in my head
[03:13.72]And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said:
[03:15.77]So watch your mouth
[03:16.95]Or you're going to make a grave mistake
[03:17.91]Hold your tongue
[03:18.67]Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head
[03:20.04]So watch your mouth
[03:20.90]Or you're going to make a grave mistake
[03:21.98]Don't die for anything less than the best of,
[03:23.96]Everyone settles for the rest not the best of,
[03:26.01]I will die for no less than the best of life
