[shadow=black,left,300]Motives And Thoughts[/shadow]
Rotating bodies,
Confusion is sound,
Negative imagery holding us down,
Social delusion, clearly constructed,
Human condition, morals corrupted
Trapped in reaction, lawlessness war,
Dissatisfaction from bowels to core,
Devils technology, strategy for
Human mythologies, Urban folklore
Sick of Psychology, counterfeit cure,
Wicked theology robbing the poor,
Scheme demonology mislead the pure,
Strict and strategically studying war,
Light shone in darkness, image exposed,
Few can see through the knew emperors clothes,
Lustful this hustle turns humans to hoes,
When the blind lead the blind just more trouble and woes,
It's the mind that they chose, it's designed to stay closed,
Standards of jokers, court jester logic,
Sick looking cosmic from school yard to college,
Primitave man in a civilized knowledge,
System collapse and he still won't acknowledge,
God is the savior, studies behavior,
Trying to fix the mixed mind that he gave ya,
Stiff-nakedd scholars on prescription meds,
Wishing their problems was all in there heads,
Moral dilemma, Pride at the root, misguided from youth, heart divided from truth,
Egyptians & Grecians spiritually dead,
Emperically lead by the Gods in their heads,
Motives and thoughts, industrial wealth,
Global economy in it for self,
Heart full of madness covered with kind,
Pleasure designed to take over your mind,
Furnished in Godliness, painted in good,
This tainted priests-hood's got real saints misunderstood,
While classes and government set up the veil,
And cultivate mind for more mythical tales,
Typcial hollywood follies, good girl,
While vice and corruption take over the world,
Motives & Thoughts. Check your motives & Thoughts.
Blind with the wickedness, deep in your heart,
Modern day wickedness is all you've been taught,
Lied to your neighbors so you'd get ahead, Modern day trickery is all you've been fed,
Motives & Thoughts. Check your Motives & Thoughts.
