As a Man Thinks - Mullmuzzler

First, the bad news…

Face the music

Mind over matter

In other words…

My imagination run amuck

Give and take with inspiration, information, innovation, impossible situation?

Worsening aggravation

Change, Every change, every step, every moment defined

As a man… as a man… as a man thinks

Shell game in a strait jacket

12 gauge

In a shotgun racket

Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto

Got to do this all alone

Wait

Better slow it down and think about it

Embracing this moment

Enslave or free my soul

Just to play the game

With no guarantee

Is what I’ll do for now

My life’s a requiem playing

Out of key with no 'absolutes' at all

Who promised tomorrow?

Tomorrow may not even be here

How long am I blameless

'Undecided' in a frantic world?

My velocity screaming fast

From this truth I fear

Where did I hear:

'As a man thinks

So is he'?

But this man thinks

'Till his moment’s gone'

Scapegoat to the end, dig it?

Whiz-bang

In a whirlwind minute

Voodoo — take a turn

Why not

Nuke my head — feel it burn?

Wind up where you were

If you think about it

Shell game in a strait jacket

12 gauge

In a shotgun racket

Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto

Got to do this all alone

Wait

Better slow it down and think about it

Better slow it down

Take a moment right now

Let a man think

As a man thinks

What a man thinks…

(Hey there Budapest)

(What about… let’s just give it a rest)

Scapegoat to the end, dig it?

Whiz-bang

In a whirlwind minute

Voodoo — take a turn

Why not

Nuke my head — feel it burn?

Wind up where you were

If you think about it

Shell game in a strait jacket

12 gauge

In a shotgun racket

Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto

Got to do this all alone

Wait

Better slow it down and think about it

Better slow it down

Take a moment right now

Let a man think

As a man thinks

What a man thinks…

Bottom line?

Get it in

Get it off

Get it out

Get away

Get a buck

Get a clue

Now he just wants more

And he feels it

Now…

No more indecisions here

No more time to figure things out

No more lies

No mortal sin

He’ll pay up square

But he won’t get in

Too many opportunities

Too many reasons

Too many travesties

Now for the good news

It’s gonna get…

Gonna get wild

When you wake up and realize

You’ve still got it all

(Hey there Budapest)

(How about next time we do our damn best?)
