Voices

There's a voice that I can hear sometimes out here on the mountain

When it's dark and the sky is pouring acid like a fountain

And the memories like coal dust stain the window of my eyes

So ask them no more questions they can't sell you no more lies

I hear voices all around me in society's depression

Over and over they all recite their first impression

And the rivers are all crying but the ocean cannot speak

Until her waters crash into uncharted shores so dark and bleak

Oh, how I wish somebody'd make these voices go away

Seems they're always talking but they don't have much to say

Well, a picture's worth a thousand words but a word ain't worth a dime

We all know they'll go on talking 'til the end of time

Don't call it a sign of the times when it's always been this way

Forget town and voices behind curtains with no names

Only plot their wicked schemes setting fate for all mankind

Evil that can fill God's pretty skies with clouds that burn and blind

How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away

Seems they're always talking but they don't have much to say

Well, a picture's worth a thousand words but a word ain't worth a dime

And we all know they'll go on talking 'til the end of time
