Outside the door are the empty the poor Are the lives that are living no more Some of them grievers or broken believers Or used in some meaningless war Go see for yourself if you think it'll help But I just cannot go there no more Oh Lord I will not go outside the door Down on the street there's a rhythm a beat You get caught up you'll never get free A humming of heat to a strumming of feet You forget who you wanted to be And under the madness an echoing sadness That whispers you'll never be free No Lord I will not go down on the street Out into the city the groosem the gritty The lovers livers and lonely Away From my eyes in the thick fog the cries Of the bleeding broken and breaking Your name there is nothing the street signs are bluffing They'll put you wherever they please No Lord I will not go into the city Im already jaded already I'm fading There's nothing to learn or to know Oh Lord I will not go Under the bridge there the shadowy ridge there That hides and is keeping us hid Where nothing is growing nor sunlight is showing Or shining on all that we did And the rumble of cars that goes bellowing past They're just running away with the wind No Lord I will not go under the bridge Out into the battle they lead you like cattle And even they got their own laws You wont be locked up there nor shot or shocked up there For shooting a man to the floor They train you and break you and reeducate you But wont tell you why or what for No Lord I will not go into the war Up into the sky where the great engines fly Where they throw you and roll you like dice We've conquered the moon with explosions and fumes We have conquered the universe high But Looking back down there's a reasoning sound That says nobody gets out alive No Lord I will not go into Sky There's no one around just the beckoning sound And there's no room to dream or to grow Oh Lord I will not go Lord I will not go Here on the Ground we are lost we are found We are lonely and spinning around Away from the crowds and the armies of clowns Away from the carnival sounds And out of the deep where the tectonic sleeps And darkness will follow you down Oh Lord Just let me stay Here on the Ground
