Free Thinker's Device Lyrics

He didn't have to tell his story
The hesitation in his eyes, said more than
A book he could have written
"free thinkers device"

He's got a friendly looking haircut
The collars white the jacket clean
But ther were no doubts about the way things
Turned out wrong ... like a victim

He said: I quit! you are the hero
They trust you like they are blind
'cause you say the words they are longing to hear
You are the hero - i'm lost in a crowded room
Contempt is the prize that they forced upon me

"maybe it's me just gettin' older
Although I know that tolerance
Is not my strength I try to listen
But I don't understand"
He talked until the dawn was breakin'
Like he'd forgotten all around
With every word his eyes were bleedin'
His mouth was a drain - there to swallow.
