Rule #38 - Elders Songtext
von Fish in a Birdcage

I′ve been pounding the pavement searching for the things I can control
Yet I've felt estrangement with this world I used to know
Seems everything′s changing, maybe we could slow to catch our breath
I'm worried we're moving at a rate we will regret


Elder, won′t you let us decide?
I′d like to heal from greed and the lies
Elder, won't you please move aside?
Give us the gift of a bright set of eyes

I′ve been coping with strangers, we've been bonding through our pain
It carries the danger that we′ll break and go insane
It's simply not human when you′ve torn your soul to eat
Won't you think of their children that must bear the stress they've seen?

Elder, won′t you let us decide?
I′d like to heal from greed and the lies
Elder, won't you please step aside?
Give us the gift of a bright set of eyes
