Acrobat

Don't believe what you hear Don't believe what you see If you just close your eyes You can feel the enemy When I first met you girl You had fire in your soul What happened your face Of melting in snow? Now it looks like this And you can swallow or you can spit You can throw it up or choke on it And you can dream so dream out loud You know that your time is coming 'round So don't let the bastards grind you down No, nothing makes sense Nothing seems to fit I know you'd hit out If you only knew who to hit And I'd join the movement If there was one I could believe in Yeah I'd break bread and wine If there was a church I could receive in 'Cause I need it now To take the cup, to fill it up To drink it slow I can't let you go I must be an acrobat to talk like this And act like that and you can dream so dream out loud And don't let the bastards grind you down Oh, it hurts baby What are we going to do? Now it's all been said No new ideas in the house And every book has been read And I must be an acrobat To talk like this and act like that And you can dream so dream out loud And you can find your own way out And you can build, and I can will And you can call I can't wait until You can stash and you can seize And dreams begin responsibilities And I can love, and I can love And I know that the tide is turning 'round So don't let the bastards grind you down
