What do you see when you look around?
The clowns in town make me frown like I’m
hearing a bad sound..
From the present to the past & back for more,
to take me up and make me soar
 through the almighty aurora.
But my feet are still on the ground
and I’m strolling though town,
in my white gown, my golden slippers
 look like flippers as I flip through history’s pages.
Sages in cages throughout the ages.
What really happened to Bob Marley?
I’ve been so down & out,
I’ve been so down & out.
I’ve been so down that I’ve wanted to die. 
But I know that all of us have been here before but I
know that I’m lying here right down on the floor because
all of a sudden, I feel like a
Matador in a Masquerade. 
Out riding my Harley,
got stung by two B’s
Unchained by B.B. Kings keys,
I flung open The Doors,
 His Majesties eyes,
his demise was a sad surprise
Why are all our kings are dead?
Its no mystery to me.
Chilling with my subtle friends & its
crowded in here.
Whose the killer?
TV? Bureaucracy?
Adam & Eve’s family tree,
wrapped in serpentine?
The crystal snake’s mesmerising lies,
live on CNN.
Well holy fuck have I got news for you,
Jesus was like you & got killed by the same crew,
the ever-fearful masses, me & you.. 
I’ve been so down & out,
I’ve been so down & out.
I’ve been so down that I’ve wanted to die.
