See the end see the end of time

From the widow's walk I feel the undertow

It grows and my fishin' pole

Like a willow bends toward the blackest hole

To the hole

See the film see the black and whites

Circle stationed stupid to the tape that rolls

My soul receives another blow

From the flashlight of the city hate line

Oh oh ooh ooh ooh ooh



I wish you well

I tell you that it can be helped

I told you it can be helped



See the bad dreams that you speak about

And all the things you bring to light are comin' down 

Now everybody hit the ground

Fear is on the march and in the lost and found

These are the times to read between the lines

Yeah my truck runneth over false prophet signs

And road blocks 

In the road



I wish you well

I tell you that it can be helped

I told you it can be helped

I told you it can be helped



[Los Angeles has been hit - Spoken]



Newspaper cloaks to wrap the truth

Propagand-acid dropped on the youth

It's easy to see like pulling a tooth

No one in line in the ballot booth

The Dragon down south may blow some smoke

Even the Jester is drummin' up votes

They talk about building morale and hope

They're just building bigotry a better rope

One that won't break one you can't even see

One made of paper and policies



I wish you well

I tell you that it can be helped

I told you it can be helped

It can be helped

Oh but it can be helped
