The Conflict
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can't deal with the problem on the surface anymore
go for the root -
and put your boot in the door
knock down the walls
and get right to the core
go for the root
brush off the dust when you find it
now's the time to explore
go for the root
it's the conflict between fact and meaning
I'm living proof
and you can't scale the walls
'cos there's an armed guard on the roof
go for the root
just found a crack in the foundations
we'll drill ourselves a way
right to the root
brush off the dust when you find it
now's the time to explore
go for the root
you can't deal with the problem on the surface anymore
go for the root
it's the conflict between fact and meaning
I'm living proof
when you watch the starving thousands
on the channel of your choice my friend
you're an audience for war
but you're always switching sides
it's like looking at a landscape
through a microscope in the middle of the night -
even half a revolution
would only bring you light
go for the root
you're so messed up by politics lady
there's nothing exotic in poverty
go for the root
where do you get your information
from a dream or a twenty four inch screen
brush off the dust when you find it
now's the time to explore
go for the root
you can't deal with the problem on the surface anymore
go for the root
