Ice Age - The Bottom Line



Pack away your wordy rhymes
'Cause it's all a waste of time
You can't sell your precious art
But there's a cure for bleeding hearts

We've all gotta swim to the bottom
The fun begins at the bottom
The air gets thin at the bottom line

It's deep - sea green at the bottom
It gets pretty mean at the bottom
It's a back - stabbin' scene at the bottom line

Never mind your "noble" fight
Or your whims of wrong & right
You're getting weaker by the hour
Because those ghost have lost their power

They must kneel to the bottom
That's what's real at the bottom
Beg, borrow, steal at the bottom line

But if you can score at the bottom
You can hide from the roar of the bottom
Of the class - color war at the bottom line

Trade your childhood guise
For a suit of grown - up sighs
Just a hypocrite, you see
You're no different than me

It's the haves & have - nots at the bottom
Take your best shot at the bottom
The soup's gettin' hot at the bottom line

But once you take a drink from the bottom
Like a stone you'll sink to the bottom
There'll be no time to think at the bottom line

There's a shady lookin' guy at the bottom
Don't look him in the eye at the bottom
Hurry on by at the bottom line

Let the buyer beware at the bottom
It ain't all about fair at the bottom
I'll see you there at the bottom line
It's the haves & have - nots
Take your best shot at the bottom
I'll save you a spot at the bottom line


Tiles - Safe Procedures




At the end of the day
Nerves are worn, a little frayed
Move to wash up after toil
Look to see the sweat and soil
Passion for existence
Can't be bought, can't be sold
Altering conditions to pave the way
Caution on hold

Caught in a rut of safe procedures
Realize that change is always a feature

So you've done what you're told
Following the rule of gold
Rescued from obscurity
By a sense of destiny
When the cast peels away
Clearing fog reveals the day
Thoughts and plans and dreams take shape
As new fears wait to awake

Caught in a rut of safe procedures
Realize that change is always a feature


Poverty's No Crime - Dare To Fly



Father you left me - you've always been with me
Bringing the sunlight into the day
"Listen to reason and make a decision"
A powerful engine but a few steps away from the edge
How could you leave me so alone?

Always confusion - too many opinions
The world that I cling to is wasting away
Looking for wisdom in moments of sadness
Is anyone out there to get me away from the pain
You never made me play the game

Killing the state of imagination
I have to walk alone
Where is the sense that I should follow?
No-one can help me - I?m so alone

I dare to fly - no net in sight
I can feel you by my side
I won't be the same again

But I know my life will go on
Full of memories deep in my head
Because I know the things you would say
I need something to chain me down

No-one can hurt me - and treat me this way!
Embracing the power - remember the time
Irrational feelings - where are you now?
Nothing will frighten me anymore!

Every sunrise - the sign of your presence
The moments of sadness - they slipped away
Give me the power to make a decision
To enter my life just a few steps away from the past
You never wanted to leave me this way

Killing the state of indecision
I have to walk alone
Now that I've found the role I?m playing?
No-one can helpme - I'm in between

I dare to fly - no net in sight
Because I know you won't leave me alone
No, I won't be a different man
I will be the same again...
