The Public Mind

With liquor tongues and candy smiles
These people stop and think a while
It won't take long before they find
That thing that they call peace of mind
But peace cannot be truly found
When the world still turns around
Driven by the need to earn
Cash that they're allowed to burn
This happiness ain't true or real
It's all an illusion you still feel.
If what you see is what you get
And all the dreams and hopes are set
And all you trust is your eyes
Just look, because they tell only lies.
"Seeing is believing"
Oh, no, seeing is deceiving
If what you see is what you get
Then all the dreams and hopes are set
And all you'll see is what you'll find
You never need to stretch your mind
'Cause all there is, has, and ever will be
Is here before you, gracefully
You bow your head in mocking awe
It's all just like that dream you saw
And will it end here? No, not when
You fall into your dreams again.
