East & West

from Acoustic Bluegrass by Ari Lesser

lyrics

I’m happy as I can be depressed
Cause the earth is cursed, to be so blessed
My will is free but I feel oppressed
By the accidents that I manifest
The more I think I know even less
Good from bad and no from yes
As a matter of fact it’s a wild guess
Only way to pass is to skip the test
Wake up in time, for your mind to rest
From trash stashed in your treasure chest
One man’s worst is another man’s best
Fly to far east turns into the west

What’s the goal when you take a stroll?
There whole lot of ways to direct your soul
North and south are stuck on a pole
East and west just stay on the roll

What God sows is what God reaps
Everything started in a garden to the east
Our family is one, that seems to increase
Your cousin’s aunt is your grandpa’s niece
Why die for the pie, trying to get a little peace
Or fight to make all the violence cease
Who came first the eggs or the geese?
It doesn’t really matter in the belly of the beast
One may starve while another may feast
But new life is born out from the deceased
And the greatest things are made of the least
In a while west turns into the east

What’s the goal when you take a stroll?
There whole lot of ways to direct your soul
North and south are stuck on a pole
East and west just stay on the roll

I can’t slow down when I express
More food for thought that you can digest
My mind is multicolored mess
Not black white like I game of chess
I’m a failure who had success
At being homeless now I’m your guest
I love your house but I’m not impressed
Cause under the covers we’re both undressed
You found a bank and lost interest
Buy too much and you get possessed
One bird’s cage is another bird’s nest
Fly to far east turns into the west

What’s the goal when you take a stroll?
Whole lot of ways to direct your soul
North and south are stuck up a pole
East and west just stay on the roll
