Shawn Phillips - Times Of A Madman, Trials Of A Thief lyrics

Phillips Times of a madman and trials of a thief Appalling decisions of squalling belief Basking in bedrooms that hookers bequeath and they search for pleasure Constant confusion calamities' plight Doubtless it doubles the devil's delight Easy as dying away from the light and they're dead in leisure Footing the future as part of the bill God is within you and works through your will Hating to stay there and watch while you k** all your sons and daughters Imminent idols absurdly enchant Justification to rave and to rant Knighting is over we've learned how to plant and we'll change things gently Love is the lotus of white baby blue Man and his woman collapse when it's true Never some try it 'cause they're scared of you but the fire is raging Open your mind and your heart to be still Peace is the endlessly crest of the hill Quietly shattering and soft as a quill then it stays forever Reality's frozen in art and your heart Simply believe it and then you can start Truth is the answer and not just a part yet the word's been spoken Unity struggles on this speck of dust Valiantly scraping the fast forming rust World is as beauty it's under the crust in its formless phases Xenophobes revel in ignorant fear You are belittled when this is too near Zoning's absurd and it shouldn't be here for we all are living
