You take a Picture of A Man
And you tell me this is what healthy looks like
Once a day will soothe my going
Once a day will make it alright
You take a Picture of A Man
And you tell me this is what I look like
Forget about my going
Forget what this feels like
But it is here among the dead
That I find life
It is here in the ashes
That I find where I am going
It is here and it is simple
And it is old and it is right
It is here that I find
This is what living feels like
You take a picture of a man
And you burden him with false pretension
You need him to boost your economy
You need him to fire your artillery
You take this picture of a man
And you tell him this is what he looks like
So he will be your riding horse
So he will fight your muthafuckin dirty, muthafuckin dirty, muthafuckin wars
So it is here among the dead
That I find life
And It is here in the ashes
That I find where I am going
It is here and it is simple
And it is old and it is right
It is here that I find
This is what living feels like
And maybe I need to feel this way
To feel death is coming closer
Maybe it keeps me from chasin' other people's dreams
Those are the dreams that hold life over
Maybe I need to try to stay in touch with my own mortality
Maybe it keeps me aligned with everything I need to be
Maybe it keeps me from runnin',
keeps me from livin' a lie
Don't you know I try to stay honest, every day I try to die
Why, why do you pretend that perfection is something that you can attain
You'll never be at ease if you think there's always something more to gain
Put down your fantasies, check it out, this may be what it's like to be
Free, free, free.
Yes, it's here among the dead
That I find life
And it's here in the ashes
That I find where I am going
And it is here and it is simple
And it is old and it is right
It is here that I find
This is what living feels like

Pose, slick, strong on the floor, hittin'
Pose, slick, strong, uh once more, givin'
Work it, serve it, cut it on the line, watch it
Work it, serve it, pump it one more time, get it
Slide, check, spend on the dime
Never notice that you're wastin' all your time
Working, fighting, living for the government, never stop
Pose, slick, strong on the floor, hittin'
Pose, slick, strong, uh once more, givin'.
Work it, serve it, cut it on the line, watch it
Work it, serve it, pump it one more time, get it
Slide, check, spend on the dime
Never notice that you're wastin' all your time
Fighting muthafuckin dirty, muthafuckin dirty, muthafuckin wars
