They live life by the book
going by the protocol, politically correct
presence is rarely felt, not out of choice
but 'coz they lack the mass effect.
They believe the word,
have faith, if not blind
be it god, angels, devils or ghosts
nothing more to challenge, nothing more to find.
But you, with that careless walk
just as the saying goes
'don't care who rules the world'
high talks, big plans to cross the fences
proud to live life by taking chances.
You don't believe in what's told
about proved theories, you don't care
but you do believe in random thoughts
that come to your mind, out of nowhere.
Then build on it, to bring out something new
for the world to see and to accept
that those words of wisdom they relied on
are proved wrong and now they're gone
You commit yourself
to the new found cause
dreaming of success
and never ending applause
just when it seemed the work was done
you lose the track, ending in a long pause.
So close yet so far
reason for failure, as you sought
found yourself back to square one, 'coz
you were caught in another random thought.
Could not fight the new temptation
losing focus, achieving nothing
your original thought remained a mystery
satisfied with half the work done
gave up on the claims of changing history.
To prove your worth
you don't have to lose your senses
nor is it required to break the code
just use your mind, or whatever of it is left
to know all the rules, then make your own.
