I was wanderin' lost the other day,/ when suddenly it all became clear
Up was up and down was down, / and nothin' else mattered at all
Told my friends, some shook their heads, / but some nodded with eyes open wide
This has got to get out, people must see, / This is finally it, the real way to be.
So we marched out onto the web, / filled pages with our beliefs,
got love mail, hate mail, / questions and (of course) spam,
People were listening, / reveling in our truth,
Across the world word spread / even as far as Duluth
Got interviews, spread the words, / even got on old Dow Jones,
I was for real, (MTV said so), /saving people from themselves,
I was happy as a clam,/ rich as rich can be,
I must be right, I thought, /else why would all this be?
Then one morning I got mail, / a disturbing word at that,
"No, no, no, you got it all wrong" / this the stranger said,
"Up is down, down is up, / and left and right are strong"
"People following you are lost, / doomed to damnation and wrong"
My friends were mad, "this guy is evil, / he's trying to confuse"
"We've got to stop him, right now, / before all we've gained we lose"
So they set out to fight, / unpleasant but good 'cuz they know they're right
Blood spilled in my name / was blood well spent,
So the sides are all lined up, / each one sure they're right.
Of course, the price of true belief / is the darkening of the light,
Minds closed to temptation, lies, and illusions, / spread by those who hate
our way of life, our views of earth, / our destiny and our fate.
We know we're right, absolutely right, / everyone else is wrong.
To tolerate them is to tolerate sin, / and then, they'll have won,
We have to win, we have the Word, / we will overcome,
...
I got up one day, / walked out into the fields.
Looked around, looked away, / thought "this doesn't seem real"
So I got out on a boat, / headed out to sea,
In search of truths, lies, and more; / anything to entertain me..
I hear of my friends now and then, / always fighting the fight,
"Don't they get tired?" I wondered, / ...
Me I'm still searching, / someday I'll get it right,
Truth's out there, somewhere, / waiting to see the light.
