Never Had a Mind

In a cold lonely tavern outside of Baltimore man sits down from his date with the court

Told his buddies he lost the case you could see the despair on his face

Heard him say if only those walls could talk or the floor could feel the stomping of her walk

What a shame it be if they could think all the hell they've seen would drive them to drink

Got me thinking about things over time

There's a lot worse things that shouldn't have a mind

Like a bullet in John Wilkes Booth gun when it pierced our nations chosen one

the sands on the shores of Normandy beach

The nails in the cross where Jesus hung or the bullet of a lonely gun when it takes the life of another mother's son

There's a lot worse things that man designed when you think about it sure are glad they were blind and they were lucky to never have a mind

He said if only that bed could feel all those nights we made love and it wasn't real

If the pictures on the walls could observe if the door frames had nerves

One of his buddies said I fought in the war

There's a lot worse things that shouldn't have a mind to its core

Like a missile flying to a town in the east where innocent children are at peace when they're trying to put your worried mind at ease

A rifle aimed at another man trying to protect each other's homeland the ground where they're taking their final stand

There's a lot worse things that man designed when you think about it sure are glad they were blind and they were lucky to never have a mind

A confession booth at a lonely church damn those curtains heard the worst the back alleys where people are getting coerced

Dates that man gave a tragic distort like 1968 April the 4th yeah the world till cries and mourns

There's a lot worse things that man designed when you think about it sure are glad they were blind and they were lucky to never have a mind
