It Ain't What You Do

If I was on Mastermind. Being shy and my insecurities.

Solipsism; the theory that the self is the only thing that can be known and verified... me being a selfish prick.

You want war – I’ll give you war

You want dreams – I’ll give you dreams

You want hope – I’ll give you hope

You want blood – I’ll give you blood

You want love – I’ll give you love.

You want clean air, mountains, blue skies

Fresh water running gently down the sides

Peaceful meadows, animal roaming quietly

Clear seas of blue and green

Nature at peace and harmony.

You want the night, so black and cold

Harder than steel, longer than your dreams

A darkness of infinity

Where lovers entwine forever; violins and wine

A sleep to last till the dawn, that may never arrive.

You want the hate that pulses deep inside

That boils and burns, paining to escape

Anger that leads to bigotry, prejudice and ignorance

Turning man against man, inside and out

That causes wars that can never be explained.

You want the touch of my hand upon your face

To soothe your tortured skin

Smooth away the torment and pressure

To hold you in my arms again

And shelter and protect against the evils that we make.

You want war and I’ll give you war

You want dreams and I’ll give you dreams

You want hope and I’ll give you hope

You want blood and I’ll give you blood

You want love and I’ll give you love.

You want drugs to escape this madness

Something to enjoy, to shut out the world

So personal, so real; a feeling

To forget the pain, misery and disease

This madman’s cure that we’ve created.

You want murder to justify revenge

The slaughter of babes because of a sign

Death of unbelievers, non-believers of a faith in your eyes

Harness destruction in the name of life

Embrace atrocity because of a name.

You want war and I’ll give you my war

You want dreams and I’ll give you my dreams

You want hope and I’ll give you my hope

You want blood and I’ll give you my blood

You want love and I’ll give you my love

You decide

You decide.
