The Chalkboard Prophet Lyrics & Tabs by Lord
The Chalkboard Prophet
guitar chords lyrics
We think we know the answers
It’s there in black and white for all to see
Yet look beyond the madness
Another truth, another world for you and me
Show you open doors
To use your mind and think
Lead you to the shore
To the water, but you have to want to drink
And once I too was blinded
Believing what was told for all to hear
We’re all so simple-minded
Another lie, another life controlled by fear
Show you open thoughts
Oppression now defied
Reveal the truth, distraught
Show you open thoughts
Oppression now defied
Reveal the truth, distraught
At the prophecy, our journey’s end is nigh
Condemn the crazy man
His eyes are filled with sadness
With chalkboard prophecy
Foretold, we turn away
Just walk on by
Don’t stare, don’t look him in the eye
His ranting insane, profane
Just turn and walk away
He’s seen on every city corner
A human wreck, around his neck a chalkboard sign
But is he mad or sent to warn us
To take control and save us all before it’s time
Tolling of the bell
A final desperate plea
Heed the tale he tells
I know the truth, that crazy man is me
Condemn the crazy man
His eyes are filled with sadness
With chalkboard prophecy
Foretold, we turn away
He’s just a crazy man
His mind is lost in madness
Are we too blind to see
That he’s the one who’s sane?
