1982, Max said his father had a bazooka
I said Bullshit! Let´s go see it, he said we can go tomorrow
No! we go today. So we escaped from kindergarten.
Almost reached the corner, then Max stepped on a needle.
The little school princess called the guards
2016 and I still believe Max faked the injury,
though we brought him back and then faced judgement in a trial.
They said we should plead guilty, express regret in front of everyone
“Fuck! the gate was open and I had to prove Max is a liar”
But the little school princess called the guards
like that time we climbed a tree to the roof of the school
and I saw my world from a different and higher perspective
1901, said our dearest Mary Gorman Gray
Raymond, my boy, never do what everybody does
and she could recite Shakespeare all day long like it's a Gospel
Be yourself, neither beg nor fear their favors nor their hate
Always the common, always the vulgar and ordinary we shall despise
the sound of silence their brain is making, a desolate shell, is all they've got
To worship custom is to destroy oneself
while independence will save this world
Always the common, always the vulgar and ordinary we shall despise
The sound of silence their brain is making is desolating, it's all they've got
I'm not superior, but I've got superior ideas, that the value of a man is in what he can make with his very hands
In this rotten world where all men emulate and repeat, you will make everything that you need for yourself
and attempt to need nothing else.
Always the common, always the vulgar and ordinary we shall despise
The sound of silence their brain is making is desolating, it's all they've got.
