lyrics

Imagine a place so bland that it’s obscene
This is not a place to which I’ve ever been
Little rooms with four white walls
And the echo’s of screams, ringing down the halls

Imagine a place full of blank eyes stares
Nobody’s happy but no one there cares
Kids in cloaks sit quietly to eat
Treat them like dogs insanity can be beat

And you have got to believe me
I’m not really insane
I just have too many thoughts
That I can’t explain
No I am not dumb, I am not blind
I know, I know I have a powerful mind

Through my barred windows
I can see my home
I want to be there
Sitting all alone
Well I have torn up everything that I could tear
I’ve pleaded with prophets but none of them are there
And I don’t fear your judgment I don’t need your love
Just leave me alone, that’s more than enough
More than enough

Imagine a place from which you can’t escape
Men in white coats are paid to decide your fate
Blue pill red pill, green pill black
Once your there you ain’t coming back
you ain’t coming back
you ain’t coming back

Cet album, encore aujourd'hui en 2021, me remplit de nostalgie. C'est une trame sonore qui résonne certainement chez de nombreuses personnes qui ont vécu les événements politiques de 2012 au Québec. Ça me donne encore le goût de danser le poing en l'air! Türno
