You can't deal with the problem on the surface anymore

go for the root -

and put your boot in the door

knock down the walls

and get right to the core

go for the root

brush off the dust when you find it

now's the time to explore

go for the root



it's the conflict between fact and meaning

I'm living proof



and you can't scale the walls

'cos there's an armed guard on the roof

go for the root

just found a crack in the foundations

we'll drill ourselves a way

right to the root

brush off the dust when you find it

now's the time to explore

go for the root



you can't deal with the problem on the surface anymore

go for the root

it's the conflict between fact and meaning

I'm living proof



when you watch the starving thousands

on the channel of your choice my friend

you're an audience for war

but you're always switching sides

it's like looking at a landscape

through a microscope in the middle of the night -

even half a revolution

would only bring you light

go for the root



you're so messed up by politics lady

there's nothing exotic in poverty

go for the root

where do you get your information

from a dream or a twenty four inch screen



brush off the dust when you find it

now's the time to explore

go for the root

you can't deal with the problem on the surface anymore

go for the root
