Lyrics
It's like a flag at half-mast as frames click fast
Not a thing will last as past is past
It's like stacks of thoughts that got played and worn
Used over and over 'til they were tired and torn
Like a broken clock that can't tell time
Like a thick-ass book that's filled with wack rhymes
Like a scorchin' blaze that burned the sand
Like a band that planned and planned and planned
And flew down like a raven in the dark of night
Snatched up the worm helpless to fight
And brought it back to the nest, singing microphone check
One-two, one-two, this is just a test
One-two, one-two, this is just a test
One-two, one-two, this is just a test
It's like sand in one hand, you can't hold for long
Like schemin' on a plan that goes all wrong
It's like fudge and caramel, they're not the same
And it's a shame all you talk is game
You act like a diamond, waitin' to be set
In a gold ring, as if, I bet
As time goes by, in this give and take
As long as I learn, I will make mistakes
Now what do I want? What do I need?
Why do I want it? What's in it for me?
It's the imagery of technology
Is what you get is what you see
Don't worry your mind, when you give it your best
One-two, one-two, this is just a test
One-two, one-two, this is just a test
One-two, one-two, this is just a test
