Action Reaction
Rumor has us—we’re believing
We’ve got to do a job
Grasping at straws—
The bandwagon ‘hey’ ride’s leaving
Jump on and join the mob
We’ve got a cause—
Let’s make some laws…
Action Reaction—
Fiction to Fraction—
Friction to Faction—
Action Reaction!
History teaches we’re still learning
To keep our balance in a world turning
Toward all extremes while ever yearning
Immoderation undiscerning
Action Reaction—
The principle, a distraction
To the spirit of the end
The letter kills my friend
Fiction to Fraction—
Division, the sum of satisfaction
Of facts and truth and lies
We magnetize and polarize
Friction to Faction—
And unkind interaction
Divided we stand
When things don’t go as planned
Action Reaction!
Purpose compels as ego swells
Hype endures and casts its spells
Whether wrong or right emotion sells
Moves its pawns where dogma dwells
Awakening the giants without
To be another group to shout out
For everything they’re not about
Secretly in doubt yet still devout
Action Reaction—
Fiction to Fraction—
Friction to Faction—
Action Reaction!
The point of view that gets discarded
Stirs the wrath of the disregarded
To chant their mantras once imparted
Still no one knows how this all started
Cross each other’s bridges burning
Fighting fire with fire with fire returning
Court’s in session never adjourning
The cycle lives on forever churning
Action Reaction—
The principle, a distraction
To the spirit of the end
The letter kills my friend
Fiction to Fraction—
Division, the sum of satisfaction
Of facts and truth and lies
We magnetize and polarize
Friction to Faction—
And unkind interaction
Divided we stand
When things don’t go as planned
Action Reaction!
The present teaches we’re not winning
Keeping the earth forever spinning
The axis bursts with Atlas grinning
Finding freedom so imprisoning
Action Reaction—
Fiction to Fraction—
Friction to Faction—
Action Reaction!
We may have lied to spread the truth
The position we’d hold
Along with our signs—
Eye for I, fought nail and tooth
Our act was getting old
It undermined—
What we sought to find—
And it took all kinds…
