Rotating bodies, confusion of sound
Negative imagery, holding us down
Social delusion, clearly constructed
Human condition, morals corrupted
Trapped in reaction, lawlessness war
Dissatisfaction from bowels to core
Devil’s technology, strategy for
Human mythologies, urban folklore
Sick of psychology, counterfeit cure
Wicked theology, robbing the poor
Scheme demonology mislead the pure
Strictly strategically studying war
Light shown in darkness, image exposed
Few can see through the new emperor’s clothes
Lustful this hustle turn humans to hoes
When the blind lead the blind
Just more trouble and woes
It’s the mind that they chose
Its designed to stay closed
Standard of jokers, court just a logic
Sick looking cosmics, from schoolyards to college
Primitive man with civilize knowledge
System collapse and he still won’t acknowledge
God is the saviour, studies behavior
Trying to fix the mix mind that he gave ya
Stiff-necked scholars on prescription meds
Wishing their problems were all in their heads
Morale dilemma, pride is the root
Misguided from youth, heart divided from truth
Egyptians and Grecians, spiritually dead
Imperially led, by the gods in their heads
Motives and thoughts
Industrial wealth
Global economy, in it for self
Heart full of madness, covered with kind
Pleasure designed to take over your mind
Furnished in godliness, painted in good
This tainted priesthood got real saints misunderstood
While classes in government, set up the veil
And cultivate minds for more mythical tales
Typical Hollywood follies good girl
While vice and corruption take over the world
Motives and thoughts
Check your motives and thoughts
Blind with the wickedness, deep in your heart
Modern day wickedness is all you’ve been taught
Lied to your neighbors, so you get ahead
Modern day trickery is all you’ve been fed
Motives and thoughts
Check your motives and thoughts

Court *jester* logic!
wow! This is a great poem!Period.. thanks for posting it. I was going to transcribe it myself from Youtube, but you saved me some time so, thanks
I hate to be *that* guy (the grammar/correction whore), but I do want to point out a few mistakes. I figure you probably got this from prince.org maybe? It has the same mistakes. Other than minor mistakes, like forgetting an S or a small word, the large corrections are:
Indeed, it is "court jester logic" as Anonymous points out. I also believe it's "Standards and jokers," though I cannot be sure of this one.
Instead of "Sick looking cosmics," it's "Cyclic and cosmic from schoolyard to college."
I believe it's "Empirically led," not "Imperially led."
I do thank you for posting though. This is an awesome poem with an awesome message. This is one of the reasons I think it's important that people searching Google for the "lyrics"/words should know the correct ones.
