Whittled me down 'til I was kindling for the fire

'Cause I might've found out for myself in a while



Round and round it goes

Soon it comes to blows

School house crushed the kid

Snuff his will to flower

But now that the answer has

Been offered oh so eloquently



Pummeled you hard 'til you began to settle in

By the end of the day even they took you as one of them



Round and round it goes

Soon it comes to blows

You know in the streets below the

High rise is the ghetto

Now that the answer has

Been offered oh so eloquently



Speaker of the house I'll never be as powerful as you

As I've only known the humble work that which these hands can do



Soon it comes to blows

In this moment fragile

Unearthing Wade and Roe while in

The inner city it's a battle



Creation Myth and gun control

Are all up for grabs and on the mantel

It hits a little too close to home for most

I can't turn it around but I can turn the channel

Now that the answer has

Been offered oh so eloquently



Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly

Think I'll just drift away slowly

Think I'll just drift away slowly

Think I'll just drift away slowly

Ah
