Against the Grain Lyrics

Three thousand miles of wilderness
Overcome by the flow
A lonely restitution of pavement, pomp and show
I seek a thousand answers
I find but one or two
I maintain no discomfiture
My path again renewed

Chorus:
Against the grain
That's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain

Here labelled as a lunatic
Sequestered and content
They're ignored and defeated by the government
There's an oriented public
Whose magnetic force does pull
But away from the potnetial of the individual

Chorus:

The flow is getting stronger
With smaller increments of time
And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find
You need all that the other has
It is your right to seize the day
But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away

Chorus:

There's a common consensus
And an uncomfortable cheer
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
It sings "leave your cares behind you
Just grab tenaciously"
This lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly

Chorus:
