[Lyric] Straw Man (Soul Unseen)

So I go down to the station
But my train's not on time
And my pockets are too empty
To give an answer that'll take me down the line

So I look at what I am
Propped up, turning in the wind
And know they'll bend you and they'll break you
To shape the mean, that lies within

The resistance is zero, gain maximized
Turn up the volume, no compromise
With your cranial noise headphones donned
Hold still while I sew your head back on

You've been fixing for a fight
But your dogs are looking thin
Spent your last dollar on a magazine
To arm the mean, that liеs within

When you can grow a guitar from the seed of a tree
But due to thе science, they cannot be free
They just smile and plant an orchard of axes
And tell everyone to just choke on their taxes
Hiding in plain sight
Better mobilize the kin
Or manipulate the bewildered herd
To drive the mean, that lies within

Trivial psychic, the obvious master
We all share the gift, see the coming disaster
The flash bomb whistles, the cameraman jumps
Making bland predictions sure smooths out the bumps

So I'm back down at the station
Can you tell me where you've been
You say you need some kind of scarecrow
To shock the mean, that lies within
