Thinking Allowed — текст песни (Skyclad)

My mind was a timebomb
That was set to explode
So I packed up my cares
Into the sunset I rode
A path to hell that`s paved
With good intentions.
Well I guess you and I
Will never see eye to eye
But if there`s one thing I`ll be
Glad to know when I die
It`s that I never entertained your
`Can`t Conventions.`
Two men gaze from behind
Their prison bars
One man sees dirt
The other sees stars
I`m just thinking aloud
Isn`t thinking allowed?
Just let your mind wander
It may never come back
Set off on a new train of thought
On life`s track.
I`m just thinking aloud
Isn`t thinking allowed?
Why is nobody thinking?
How can you call me a failure
Or a social defective
When to find your own mind
You`d need a private detective?
I`m not a statistic or
A regular family man.
I don`t give a damn about public relations
I`ll never live up to
Your great expectations
You can take or leave me
Just the way I am.
Your straight jacket emotions
Only stifle and kill
The spirit within us all
I call free will.
I`m just thinking aloud
Isn`t thinking allowed?
Two men gaze from behind
Their prison bars
One man sees dirt
The other sees stars.
I`m just thinking aloud
Isn`t thinking allowed?
