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.
