Lyrics
Time after time you fail to agree
Repeated failure to reach consensus.
About the things to believe in
Disagreement about fundamental beliefs.
The thoughts of the ancients
Referencing the ideas of ancient thinkers.
Just couldn't be
Asserting that ancient thoughts are essential.
Without changes in rhythm and time
Change in rhythm and time is inevitable.
If you put all the prophets
Alluding to influential figures like prophets.
Mystics and saints
Reference to mystics and saints.
In one room together
Imagining a gathering of influential figures.
There'd be so much more reason
Suggesting that unity brings more reason.
Than ever was born
Greater reason than conflicts have produced.
Out of all of the conflicts of time
Reflection on conflicts throughout time.
Well I wouldn't mind
Expressing a willingness to understand.
But you fail to agree
Continued failure to reach agreement.
About the things that you're doing
Disagreement about personal actions and beliefs.
The thoughts of the ancients
Reiteration of the importance of ancient thoughts.
Just couldn't be
Emphasizing the necessity of change in context and time.
Without changes in context and time
(Empty line)
Anybody out there
Calling out for attention or response.
Going to hear the sound of a dispossessed voice
Expectation to hear the voice of the dispossessed.
Lend them your voice
Encouraging others to speak out.
Fools and their leaders they have no doubts
Critical view of those who lack doubt.
The truth is they're believers
Labeling them as believers in their own truth.
They'll stand and shout I
Anticipating their vocal support in deception.
n the courts of the deceivers
Deception within the courts or systems.
Let there be no more doubt
Asserting the need for certainty.
In the name of your justice and time
Invoking justice and the passage of time.
Is anybody out there
Repetition of the call for response.
