Mind Games 

Mind games are a twinkle in the eye

A pie in the sky.

Shining out to catch the lonesome traveler.

A thought echoing in the halls of insanity,

Whispering in the fields of love,

Fighting to compete in the world of tomorrow.

It’s all a communist plot

they’re here going to get your lot

they won’t be happy till

there got,

your lot.

Oh to be free,

Oh to see,

Not to know

about I told you so.

Release your mind unto

your self unless your

Life must be fun,

But there is no fun in

confusion.

So quit your delusion

Trip on reality, for it

might never catch up with

you again.

Insane came yesterday

But she went away again.

Don’t you know me I am

you but only what you

allow yourself to see.

So if I can show you

your own illusion aren’t

I then your master,

To make of break your

mind as I please.

On what responsibility

for the instergatetillery.

Laughing to ward off the

Bad and fighting not to

Soil the good.

Oh if people only would

Know the difference

Between should and would.

Don’t confuse one with

the other only then will

you see your brother.

Do you have no fight

Before you get it right
