letra de everyone's crazy - hermitofthewoods

[chorus]
everyone’s crazy, we have nothing to say
we have no one to blame but ourselves
it’s so amazing because in this day and age
we have nothing to fear but ourselves

[verse 1]
right, one night i wanted to write
about the beautiful things in life
like birds of prey in flight
and the bright city lights at night
a bite of fresh fruit and the sweet juice that flows
and the secret places i know, that n-body else goes
and i suppose all of those
are just the first to come to mind
and if i tried i could find inspiration in all kind of places
like faces, or a day spent in the woods
pretty flowers in vases or being completely understood
i like the look of a stack of books
and when it rains without warning
and the subtlety of my wife’s first smile every morning
i like stretching and yawning and going back to sleep
getting indian food to eat
and walking down a quiet street
to the beats that i hear when n-body’s around
just the sound of my feet pounding down on the ground
i like seeing strange new towns
and the stars that shine above me
there’s just so much that’s lovely
in spite of all that’s ugly

and it’s like that

[pre-chorus]

every single time, i just lose my mind
i’m just wandering these streets i’m always singing

[chorus]
everyone’s crazy, we have nothing to say
we have no one to blame but ourselves
it’s so amazing because in this day and age
we have nothing to fear but ourselves

[verse 2]
to realize where beauty lies
you have to look at what’s nasty
and i haven’t forgotten
all the rotten news that comes past me
they blast me everyday with these treaty violations
crooked congregations and social segregation
oppressive occupation by pigs mad with power
and all of this can happen every hour on the hour
it leaves a sour taste and i can’t smell the roses
with all the smokestacks, sh-t
the plants have been corroded
the dice are loaded, if i can quote mr. cohen
and there’s no way left of knowing
which way the wind is blowing
cause they’re bulldozing everything
behind beauty strips
working quick to replace all the trees with bricks
i get sick when i read the ticker
man, i swear it never fails
here’s the kicker, one lady fed her kids to k!ller whales
if you want the details, look around
anywhere is suitable
you’ve got to see the bad
before you recognize the beautiful

it’s like that

[pre-chorus]

every single time, i just lose my mind
i’m just wandering these streets i’m always singing

[chorus]
everyone’s crazy, we have nothing to say
we have no one to blame but ourselves
it’s so amazing because in this day and age
we have nothing to fear but ourselves

[verse 3]
doc-mentation dictates the following hypothesis
what’s toxic has a diametric opposite on top of it
there’s no stopping it
once the human elements been introduced
and no way of describing the horrors that its produced
there’s proof we’ve been reduced
to a snarling pack of animals
fit to be banished into the wilderness in manacles
there’s proof too, though
that even though there’s poison in the vein
everywhere impossible wonders still remain
like john coltrane and the reservoir on, uh, 152
central california – it has the most incredible view
all this renews the old arguments of what’s losing
and what’s winning
and it takes me back
to what i was trying to say in the beginning
that the art of real live strikes fast and disappears
but it commandeers the senses
and confronts our deepest fears
to see brilliance is to recognize
that darkness is essential
and fundamental in defining
what becomes the quintessential
and it’s like that

[outro – emc]

it’s like that, y’all
