"BITTER CONVENTIONS"
(Rucker)

All of this pain troubles my mind, 
I can't relate,
It's not worth my time,
Mama don't preach,
If you're out of line.

The chalk boards will screech,
The fires will flare, 
The floodgates will breach,
The fabrics will tear,
It's not out of reach,
Just don't pull the chair.

I think it's time we make use of our senses,
I think it's time that we better ourselves,
Ain't no use in these bitter conventions my dear.

Because they're killing time,
And it's getting old,
And we are not, 
We are not the conventional mold.

Just a little bit, 
Just a little.

This place is out of control,
I need someone to save me,
And I'm faced with nowhere to go,
But the answers you gave me were irrational,
It took this to let go,
Let's rewrite the books,
Let's move past our egos,
It's time for a change,
We need some new motives,
It's time to refrain,
Is there anyone out there.

I think it's time we make use of our senses,
I think it's time that we better ourselves,
Ain't no use in these bitter conventions my dear.

Because they're killing time,
And it's getting old,
And we are not, 
We are not the conventional mold.

Just a little bit, 
Just a little.
