So this is the thing
This thing is a curse
This thing's where I bottom out
This thing really hurts
This thing's an atonement
For a thing that's not fair
This is the deer in the forest
This thing hangs in the air
So let me get right on it
And I won't use the words that you know
This thing is forever now
And this thing it won't go
And this thing is in your nightmare
And it's there when you wake
And this thing it don't bargain
This thing it won't wait
This is Kurt Cobains shotgun
And it's madder than that
This is the place you never been to
And there's no going back
So this is the thing
It's a mine in the sand
It don't ask man's permission
This thing walks 'cross your land
And be under no illusion
This thing's been coming a while
Leaders still throwing coins at each other
This thing got us on trial
And no prayer will help us
This is the penance we pay
Perhaps now they'll listen
This thing's here to stay
First comes our blindness
But then on comes the light
This thing can bring down the circus
Or force the planet to unite
And this thing is our revolution
We've been divided enough
This thing will bring us all together
This is sleight of hand love
