The Meaning Of It All (Shawn Sage, SOCAN)

I thought I had it figured out
So I went to Socrates
But he twisted up my words
And my brain began to seize
He said, 'the unexamined life,
Isn't worth your time'
But, how much of it will you ever see
With only one-tenth of your mind?

I went to the church
Lookin' for a sign
But, all I got was some stale bread
And a little sip of wine
I gotta hand it to Jesus, though
'Cause he died for our sins
Instead of just runnin' off
With Mary Magdalene

So, come on baby,
Show me the meaning of it all
Let's not sit here staring at the wall
I'm going crazy
Trying to read your mind
Let's stare eachother in the face
And see what we can find

So, I thought I'd pick up the phone
And call up Sigmund Freud
But I had to hang up the phone
'Cause he got me so annoyed
He told me my sub-conscious
Was like a book that I could read
But, I want an epic poem,
Not weird pornography

So, come on baby,
Show me the meaning of it all
Let's not sit here staring at the wall
I'm going crazy
Trying to read your mind
Let's stare eachother in the face
And see what we can find
