The Beauty of Nothing I was walking around in my head I was looking for something to do I was brushing away the cobwebs I was an animal in my own zoo I was catching a glimpse in my eyes I was looking for something to see Could have been day, it could have been night Could have not even been me The beauty of nothing, the beauty of nothing I was playing the game with no one I was winning and losing and a draw I was breaking my brain about why I was playing at all There’s a way that I think I should be Its a concept that’s rooted in sand But the moment the wind comes along I no longer am The beauty of nothing, the beauty of nothing

Take Me To Your Leader I took a pill the other day Passed out cold and everything got hazy When I woke up and looked around The world I knew had gone crazy And I said hey man, take me to your leader Some Rasta guy in a yellow cab Picked me up and took me to Chicago He said over there is Jesus Christ He’s kind of hard to recognize in the top coat I said hey man, take me to your leader Aw hey man, take me to your leader Jesus said he used to be the man to see But even he can’t do nothing Everyone’s gone Babylon, and bottom line And one for one, its fucked up I said hey Jesus, take me to your leader Yo Father, take me to your leader Aw hey man, take me to your leader
