David Ackles - Inmates of the Institution lyrics
Inmates of the institution. While you're waving through the madhouse fence, Do your absence bodies hear your souls' laments? Inmates of the institution Who are you waiting for with hollow eyes? Do you think he'll come this way before he dies? Or did he pass once in disguise? Did you laugh at the ragman? Did you when he called for your rags, rags? I'll bet a buck you didn't bow. And, no you're waiting in your holy clothes. Naked and afraid to expose your need for the sign. But keep in line. Standing in a painless haze. Waiting for the blameless gaze of wine. I'll bet the water never was. Did you follow the flagman? Did you? When he marched with his flags, flags. I'll bet you wondered he went. You'd spent a lifetime in a madhouse yard. Waiting for a mystic guard to come with a key And you make you free. Hoping that he'll find the gate Wondering if he'll make you late for tea. I'll bet you never miss a meal. Inmates of the institution. Did you laugh at the raceman? Did you? When he started to cry. Did you follow the spaceman? Did you? Just because he was high. Did you laugh at the ragman? Did you? When you put out his light? Did you follow the flagman? Did you? Just because he was white. Inmates of the institution. Do you wonder where your leaders ran? Where you were looking when he sent the man. Ah, you do the best you can. |
