Last night I had the strangest dream
I was on my back and I couldn't breath
there was a foot pressing down on my throat
and in the darkened room I could not see
the face of my adversary
but I could hear the accusation when he spoke
You are one of more than three hundred million people
their hearts are empty their minds are feeble
but they've got an SUV and a big screen HDTV on the wall
what makes you more than another pissed off teenager
hating authority and prostrate to computers
what makes you think you have anything to offer at all
I see colors
and they're not the ones you see because you are not the same as me
nor ever shall be
I see colors
we're taught to call it red but to me it looks like blue
does anything beyond what we perceive hold any truth
Last night I had the dream again
I was in a room with all of my friends
and they were laughing and cheering as I strangled a man on the floor
I looked down and to my horror
it was like I was looking into a mirror
I ran screaming from the room they said what'd you stop for
I have seen them in their big houses
our future presidents and supreme court justices
but all their SAT prep courses don't teach them to sing
they've lost their voices they've lost their vision
they try to make colors but they just end up making themselves so sick
they can't see anything
I see colors
and they're not the ones you see because you are not the same as me
nor ever shall be
I see colors
when you're telling me
that I have nothing to see
and that I have nothing to be
and that I have nothing to give
you're telling me that I have no reason to live
