lyrics

HE SAYS
Ola Onabule © 2001

He knows just how it’s gonna be
The be the end and all is he
almost perfection
In his own perception

He’ll tell you what you ought'ta feel
Coz what you feel cannot be real
Just apparitions
passing aberrations

Oooh! he’s almost intellectual
quasi pseudo liberal
Oooh! It’s never personal
only theoretical
When he says

You wanna walk free, come and see me, and then we might see
You’d like to stand tall, you gotta drop all, and just follow me.
There ain’t much to see, Unless seen through me, Unquestioningly
So if you feel small, Backed up to the wall, Its because you ain’t me!

He’ll tell you he’s the source of life
and doesn’t just reflect the light
He’s the connection,
To divine illumination

And tho’ he digs you at the roots
feeling your authentic truths
He thinks that he could do you
Far better than you do.

Oooh! He’s a modern radical
dangerously acceptable
Oooh! maximum infallible
And it’s only logical
That he says

You gotta give up no ones to blame
That’s why you came last in the humanity game
You ain’t enough of all that you mean to me
And far to much of what I feared you might be
I don’t think you’ll need you, At least not today
See It was never about you’ Its about seeing it my way
