| Fated Apple Destiny holds her Keeps her in a cage Without a key Hidden deep in halls of history. Seems to me That life always keeps happiness Out of man�s reach. I wish to the return to the simple times Where man�s path was to live in luxury With her eve In the untouch gardens. But the american way has steamrolled That vegetaion Now factories and office buildings Replace the endless fields And cool swimming holes. What happened to enjoying the breath of the wind Under the shade of unnamed and unclassified trees? A simple pleasure. Quite relaxing. So relaxing. I can feel my heart thumping to a tired beat. So mellow So calm. I think my heart could stop And I wouldn�t care. Should life be this way? Maybe I should have gone to the doctor And wasted my weeks pay On a 15 minute analysis To conclude that a single red pill Will keep me alive in the factories For another 50 years. Maybe I can retire when im 60 Than wait to die In a hospital bed And not under that fated apple tree. |
