Convention Prevention - Ten Years After

I’d like to reach out to you — and learn just how do you do So we can still relate.

I’d like to open my mind — so you can come in and find

How we communicate.

There’s a chemical reaction — and it’s causing an attraction

From you to me.

I am not one for convention — but I have a good intention

For you from me.

Rain is fallin’and a thunderbolt is crashin’through my head,

And there’s people and pain all around me.

Someone is callin’and electric sparks are everywhere I tread.

My life it seems is a sequence of dreams,

And there’s people and pain all around me.

I’m going down in a black elevator

'cause the big masturbator’s got his eye on me.

I’m goin’down 'cause my brain is on fire

and my soul is a liar 'cause I tried to be free,

tried to be free, tried to be free.

Freedom in your mind — you can have when you’re dead,

Freedom in your life just depends on you’re head.

Freedom in you’re heart — can, alas, never be because no one on this earth has been born to be free,

born to be free, born to be free.

All of my life I have tried to be free,

All of my life — I have learned all I see.

All of my life — I have searched for a clue;

All of my life I have tried to be true,

tried to be true, tried to be true.
