lyrics

BUST THE NEBULOUS HEAD

Here comes the man
with a dozen plans
He's going to bend your ears
until they're black and blue
Why will you stand there and leave him his way?
Because you've got nothing else to do today.

Here comes the man and I
could swear it just got cold.
I gotta find me a line to walk
anything but sit here and talk to the man
with hundreds of plans.

He's the man with the myriad plans
He's the man with the myriad plans

You can learn by watching people beside you
Watch their eyes as they follow the lines
See if you can count all the glimmerings of doubt
Maybe even measure a percentage of displeasure-
Anything but listen to the man
with the thousands of plans-
He commands
A broad band of support
But his cohorts aren't in the audience;
Folks like me and you are the numbers that kill -

He's the man with a lot of will.
He's the man with a lot of will.

Here comes the man
with a million plans
He's going to bend your ears
until they're black and blue
Why will you stand there and leave him his way?
Because you've got nothing else to do today.

Here comes the man
with a million fossilized blueprints
Don't even let him
make the slightest imprint
Buy nothing, try nothing
Do everything on your own terms -

Pray just to have a say.
Pray just to have a say.
