Displaced Revolutionary Blues Lyrics

Displaced Revolutionary Blues lyrics

Once I heard a man, talkin' mostly to himself
tellin' tales he'd heard
around the world
He said, "Son you'll see your big time, and you'll fight
your boxing
match,
and there's always gonna be that fish that you
didn't catch.."
However far your ventures lead you
however far your
fences stretch
There's something that keeps callin' you back
No
matter how much it decides you, it's something deep inside of you
Somethin' beggin' to be cut some slack..
{chorus}
It seems I go,
where I don't expect
should I have made a right when I made a left?
It seems I go, where I must perfect
a bigger system, that's got a bigger
defect..
They're displaced revolutionaries and a captive audience
They
have seen what's never been done before
If there are castle dragons they
can't respect to the least degree
then they'll find it forced upon them
more and more
I've seen them wanderin' on the road, they're dreamin' of
somewhere else
from the old school they've learned to hate their ways
Living future memories, the best that they can crawl
and hating
everybodies latest craze..
From the most crazy aspirations come the most
noble philosophies
but see which one will get you anywhere
The shadow
prince you walk behind, has lost his crowning jewel
and now it's you alone
just standing there..
