Synapses

lyrics

Synapses misfired to the good old somber tune
Of good men swinging in the gallows
As their characters lie in ruins
The blind man don't mind playin' fiddle in the dark
And it's much the same in the way
You lay those bricks around your heart

I don't know why those synapses misfired
Maybe it's just the way that we were wired

Galileo rode the raging crest of his mighty fine research
On a guillotine slot straight to hell with a cross at every
turn
Old Socrates had a fine plan for settin' everybody
straight
But the primitive thinking of the mass at the time
had sealed the poor man's fate


I don't know why those synapses misfired
Maybe it's just the way that we were wired

Tell me why'd they have to take John Lennon with 'em
Tell my why they're tryin' to put every good man
in a hole


I don't know why those synapses misfired
Maybe it's just the way that we were
Wired
Wired
Wired
