3000 miles of wilderness overcome by the flow
A lonely restitution of pavement pomp and show
I seek 1000 answers, I find but one or two
I maintain no discomfiture my path again renewed
[chorus]:
Against the grain, that's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream, I maintain against the grain
Here labelled as lunatic, sequestered and content
There ignored and defeated by the government
There's an oriented public who's magnetic force does pull
But away from the potential of the individual
[chorus]
The flow is getting stronger with smaller increments of time
And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find
You need all that the other has your right to seize the day
But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away
[chorus]
There's a common consensus and an uncomfortable cheer
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
It sings "leave your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously
This lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly"
