lyrics

I'd like to write a book that will one day be burned
it'd conflict with the lessons they'd wish that we'd learned
it'd be filled with the things that we already knew
about our human nature, though we'd denied they were true

I'd like to write a book that somebody would read
instead of letting their mind fade in the light of tv
instead of betting their future on a new revolution
that will use them as fodder and not as the solution

but I do not write books
I can barely write songs
but I can't over look
what we all know is wrong
look deep in your soul
past the wants and the lust
because we're each in control
and know who we should trust

I'd like to write a book that our leaders would cite
an inspiration for progress, a guide for wrong and right
an invitation to unite all castes and all creeds
the same message as ever, we all know what we need

I'd like to write a book, but I know I never will
I'll still live with a hope, that hope can fulfill
