The Answer Lyrics

[Intro]
(Mm, hemp?)

[Verse 1]
Step outside the bounds and take a
Big look at the times we live in
Who appointed you?
You're just an avid image on my screen
So take your bias point of view away from
My organic institution
And now we dare to think ourselves

[Chorus]
The answer's waiting content
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answer's clear as day open your eyes
Now kill me

[Verse 2]
You killed the very thing that keeps us
Hanging on to our dear lives
So, in a sense you bit the hand that feeds us
Just to kill your prophet now
And with the coming generation at the torn seems
This is what you call progress?
I call it shame
[Chorus]
The answer's waiting content
(Look into your mind and guide)
The answers clear as day open your eyes
Now kill me

[Bridge]
What his law says
What his law says
What his law says may not be the stepping stone for you
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives

[Outro]
So the answer's waiting content
(Look into your mind and guide)
Look into your mind and guide
Look into your mind and guide

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
