Analysis of INTERLUDE II
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
Dark of heart
Panic start
No joy impart
I did my part
Private passion
Love's in fashion
Checks are cashin'
My heart you're trashin'
Fight the fight
Choose the right
Shine the light
It's dark as night
Stack the deck
Double check
Oh what the heck
I don't expect
Hide the truth
Deny the proof
The joy of youth
I'm aloof
Say the Word
You haven't heard?
I'm a nerd
Sickness cured
Heal the sick
Take your pick
A dirty trick
Small town hick
I'm not ranting
Darkness panting
The priests are chanting
Okay I'm ranting
Sick of stuff
I've had enough
Don't like it...tough
I'm strong enough
Don't know where
I go from there
Grab a chair
I bow in prayer
Sometimes can't see
What's past me
Am I free,?
I choose to be
Right a wrong
Write a song
We all belong
See ya...so long!
AMEN
