One Celled Creature

[Melvin]
Life on a mattress in a robe
in a room full of emptiness

[Fat Mike]
Knowledge has much better uses
than self-pity and superiority

[Melvin]
Maybe you are or could be the next
Hoffman, Mahatma, or Chomsky,
But no one will ever know.

[Fat Mike]
Are you saying that music can't have a positive influence on society?

[Melvin]
No with shitty melodies it won't
The sum of your parts
are not gonna change any hearts,
not with hate in your eyes.

[Fat Mike]
In order to lead by example
you have to show
a path (=sentier) to a better world,
not a cell
