[00:00.000]Quiet Desperation - Rick Miller
[00:03.965]The man who lives beside me
[00:06.589]Wants to set the world on fire
[00:10.341]I'd worry more about it but I know that he's a liar
[00:17.653]The people across the street
[00:19.965]Have moved their TV set outside
[00:24.523]They want the world to understand
[00:27.365]They've nothing much to hide
[00:31.175]It feeds the seed in me
[00:51.549]I wander down the street
[00:54.675]To get a taste of morning air
[00:58.362]A snarling dog comes after me Awakened from it's lair
[01:05.737]The outside world has turned on me
[01:08.925]I see it in their eyes
[01:12.173]I guess I'll stay inside for now until they realize
[01:19.104]It's time for them to see
[01:39.536]They live their lives in a haze
[01:46.599]Like rats they're caught in a maze
[01:53.870]Of quiet desperation and obedience
[01:59.930]I know that I'm just the same
[02:06.738]I need a chance to be free
[02:14.230]These darkened walls are killing me
[02:20.793]If I could rise above then I'd see
[02:28.107]The light beyond the trees
[02:48.709]The houses on this street were built
[02:51.711]All facing the same way
[02:55.209]The architect slept well at night for he'd collect his pay
[03:01.961]Perhaps a stick of dynamite would liven up their lives
[03:09.452]But then again insurance rates
[03:12.448]Would surely have to rise
[03:15.820]It feeds the seed in me
[03:58.116]They live their lives in a haze
[04:04.172]Like rats they're caught in a maze
[04:11.165]Of quiet desperation and obedience
[04:17.285]I know that I'm just the same
[04:23.916]I need a chance to be free
[04:31.505]These darkened walls are killing me
[04:37.880]If I could rise above then I'd see
[04:44.740]The light beyond the trees
