The Rapacious Herd - There's a Quick Fix to Happiness That No One is Talking About

Met a man on the street
His contentment seemed complete
Fellow oozed a cool tranquility and grace
I said: Sir, tell me this
How can I too find such bliss?
He just smiled and punched me square right in the face
He said
Duck when you see the fist coming
Try to bob and weave
Pain is waiting for you
At the end of the sleeve
There you have it
Seems the man broke my jaw
But at least I finally saw
I've been broken somewhere somehow all along
All the words merely hide
The flaws clawing from inside
And there's no disguising everything that's wrong
So just
Duck when you see the fist coming
Open up your eyes
Every word you hear, including these
Are merely lies
Break
Put your dukes up
Seems the man understood
What the experts never could
That the brain's a maze of dead ends and false doors
We all want to believe, up the sleeve
There's a magical reprieve
But nothing saved the dinosaurs and no one's saving us
So
Duck when you see the fist coming
Block and counter punch
Duck when you see the fist coming
Try to bob and weave
Duck when you see the fist coming
Open up your eyes
Every word you hear including these
Are only lies
