19.The Meaning

Lyricist:Dicky Barrett, Joseph Gittleman

Is it better than the worst?
Could it be worst in the best?
We're in the scenes mediocre
As all the fucking rest

Is it a no-go, a so-so
Above average and labor loaders
Come up, show them all that
Be great in need to know is that

You don't have to know the meaning
Just know that there is meaning
In what is being said to you
You don't have to know

We've already set the tone
Has happened, etched in stone
Is it subject for discussing?
Is it better left alone?

Should it be fixed or be nixed?
Should it be said or eighty-sixed?
Is this a business?
The one that's being made is this

You don't have to know the meaning
Just know that there is meaning
In what is being said to you
You don't have to know

The friendship's in action
Sat all through subtraction
Disturbing mathematics
An up-chain reaction

Momentary setback
A minor distraction
A milestone marker
A break in the action

Your inner spirit's spell
Your side you'd like to tell
How'd you let it go?
Unless you'd rather yell

Remember we long you
We've got to go but you should know
That we'll be thinking of you

You don't have to know the meaning
Just know that there is meaning
In what is being said to you
You don't have to know

You don't have to know
You don't have to know
