Lyrics

Be alert to what you see on television and at the movies
 And pay attention to what you read or hear
 Don't beleive everything naively
 Don't take everything at face value
 Don't mindlessly follow every movement
 Every leap and bound in that story in front of you
 Many things are left unsaid
 Engage yourself with the material
 Many things are left unsaid
 Pay attention to what is not said
 Bring out for yourself
 The things that are resting there
 Beneath the surface.
 What you read in books
 Everything that you study
 Cannot convey the whole picture
 Remember
 Our grandfathers passed on knowledge
 In ways not taken much into account anymore
 Pay attention to what is not said
 Thank you
 I'm going to read between the lines
 Find meanings where the spaces are
 Don't follow every movement,
 Every leap and bound
