One rule for us, for you another Do unto yourself as you see fit for yor brother Is that not within realm of understanding? A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding? Well the poor unfortunate you There are a myriad of things that you can do Like pick up a pen and paper or go and talk to a friend The history of the future No violence or revenge Your shame is never . . . ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty a nd how you ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love We all have the ability Our freedom is fragile We all laugh and we cry, don't we? We all bleed and we smile Your shame is never . . . ending Just one psychological drama after another You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love Your shame is never . . . ending Just one psychological drama after another We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life God only knows, we're not to sacrifice the art of love We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life God only knows, the infinite complexities of love We are guilty and how we ever entered into this life God only knows, the ultimate necessity of love
