What's In a Name

Some say all roads lead to the same end

Some say live and die and live again

I think I'm talkin' 'bout my generation

Just a few small lines for your contemplation

But, oh yeah

You say it again now

You say it means nothing

What does that mean?

Sometimes nothing has the taste

Of everything in its mouth

What's in a name

It's all the same

A primitive give

To a primitive gain

All that I ever wanted

Was the cool, cool rain

To ease my pain

I tried all my life but

I just couldn't get right

I needed a little bit

of the infinite insight

I had a funky rhythm, but

I just couldn't step right

My load was so heavy that

I just couldn't get light

My color so strong that

I just couldn't see white

so far away, that

I just couldn't touch Christ

I was dark and deep,

but the living was so bright

I feel the need to bring it all back to me

To see the world and man philosophically

I fall down beneath the load of my own vanity

A planet full of people,

and the people confusing me
