These closed windows
And this grated gate
This is supposed safety
But it's not protection
But when the caos comes
No walls will protect you
From yourself, from yourself, from yourself
It's an imperfect prototype
So full of sorrow
It's easy for it to shut down
Just give it some authority
But when the caos comes
No walls will protect you
From yourself, from yourself, from yourself...
People become prisioners
Of material possessions around them
Looking thru grated windows
At what their lives might have been
But when the caos comes
No walls will protect you
From yourself, from yourself, from yourself...
And it's being open-handed
That one prospers on and on
The greediness that moves you
Will only push you back
And it's being open-handed
That one prospers on and on
The greediness that moves you
Will only push you back
