Ivory Tower Lyrics by Rhythm Corps

The Future’s Not What It Used To Be

1990

Without hesitation without fear or
False remorse ringing in my brain
I could celebrate myself
I've had inspiration but the world inside
Has been tethered and restrained
And left waiting on a shelf
I spoke for thousands without their knowing
But never once from within
I found it easy to make a showing
But found it harder to really show what lies below the skin

Every second of every hour
We feed the lion or be devoured
All around us and getting louder
Thе call to fall from the ivory towers


All that ventеd anger all those years
Of painting pictures in the sand
Till the tide came in so cold
And the songs we sang her were the words
Of someone cutting off his hand

So that no one might take hold the endless babble of observation only deflected the stares
Of someone trying to find sensation
In someone set to explore his mind before he's asked to share

Every second of every hour
We feed the lion or be devoured
All around us and getting louder
The call to fall from the ivory tower

Every second of every hour
We feed the lion or be devoured
All around us and getting louder
The call to fall from the ivory tower
