The Ultimate Schizophrenic

© 2006 Words and Music by Mark B. Sostrin

 

< Verse >

Sitting on a log watching the river flow

All of nature sings caught up in its song

Wonder who you are if you fit in

Stop all the voices except the one within, except the one within

< Chorus >

Someone’s high on bluegrass out in the other room

Can’t keep up the time or remember the tune

Ultimate schizophrenic but not the only one

To hear all the voices try to talk with God, try to talk with God

< Instrumental Break – 1 Bridge >

< Verse >

The Buddha found enlightenment sitting under a tree

Be compassionate do no harm there is no you or me

Mohammed sitting in a cave when an angel talked to him

He wrote as quickly as he could it still took several years, still took several years

< Chorus >

< Verse >

People blowing up themselves to kill you and me

All in God’s name how can this be?

Jesus crying from the cross for eternity

Father forgive them please do this for me, please do this for me

< Chorus >

< Repeat First Verse >

< Chorus >
