Guided by Voices - Echos Myron lyrics

tower to the skies

an academy of lies

and what goes up

surely must come down

and we felt the mighty blow-up

with the walls coming down

or something like that

most of us are quite pleased

with the same old song

and all of a sudden i'm relatively sane

with everything to lose and nothing to gain

or something like that

man of wisdom and man of compromise

man of weak flesh in an armored disguise

all fall down

"if it's right you can tell" echos myron like a siren

with endurance like the liberty bell

and he tells you of the dreamers

but he's cracked up like the road

and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

and we're finally here and shit yeah it's cool

and shouldn't it be - or something like that
