Straight At Yer Head

I want to taste a new dessert

To see how other people work

To see them irrigate the dirt

With water from a bank.

I took my tape and tape recorder

And made my way up to the border

Where I received a legal order

From a man who drove a tank.

Wanted to see another country

But the country wouldn't have me

They said they have a new policy

To protect their economy.

I said I want to see your city

They said they couldn't entertain me

They said they simply had too many

And If I tried they would detain me.

He said, "You haven't any place here

Why you show your face here?

I'll keep you at the base here

Don't move 'til you're told."

He returned with the command

"Go back to your land. The only way to enter is with gold."

What you get is what you see not what they say (x5)

A promise in a second. The truth will take a day

To see the truth in every step along the way

Is like a child that learns to judge within his play

I want to turn my water to wine, but I'm not divine

So I must feel work to do it.

I want to turn their sorrow to salt, the weak to the strong

So we've got to think our way through it.

Closing in from all quarters. Pressure to achieve is like I'm forced to grow

All your sons and your daughters. They have to fight to keep the little that they know

I never wanted to be free until I knew I was in prison

I didn't know I was a key until I unlocked the pain in living'

I want to see the vegetation To inspire my vocation

To see the plans of every nation. Hear the words from their hearts.

Won't rest 'til the folks sing tunes from the heart string sounds from the true springs of our histories

Confessed let them come through lives that evade you born to renew and explain our mysteries

Your eyes won't lie when they're allowed to see

Your sun, your skies see that you're allowed to be

Your reason why so we're wise to take heed

Your time, your earth, so plant your seeds (x3)

Plant your seeds [Repeat]
