I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
I've lost sense of time and all seasons
I feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question
A really simple question
I'll just ask one question
What if?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?

an extremely cynical view of the media. Look at the words, you can see every metaphor as an attack on how the media ensnares people and dictates what people believe through manipulative ways. It doesn't just apply to music. Extremely creative lyrics!

I love this song too. I don't care what anyone else says, the music and lyrics in here are beautiful. I love how metaphorically he attacks the media's negative actions. Very brilliant.
