Here inside this quiet room there's direction / Outside in the
sultry noon-time reflection / A million people scurry They're
looking for advice / None willing to lend charity just exercise
their

Shades of Truth and partisan conventions / Shades of Truth
between disparate lines / Shades of Truth interpret my
intentions / You don't know I'm alright / You don't know I'm
alright

Who authorized the blueprints and made us captains? / Someone
proclaimed creation, people listened / While children by the
millions are thrown into this zoo / This so-called gift of clarity!
Oh what was god up to?

Shades of Truth and lenient conventions / Shades of Truth
between disparate lines / Shades of Truth interpret my
intentions / You don't know I'm alright / You don't know I'm
alright

So many walk in parallel and pull their blinders tight / So few
offer apology and accept other's rights / And nothing
absolutely can be cherished in the end / Can't we all accept that
it will all happen again?

Just partisan conventions / Shades of Truth between disparate
lines / Shades of Truth interpret my intentions / You don't know
I'm alright / You don't know I'm alright
