John Trudell - One Side of the Face/1855 War Dance lyrics

One side of the face Tells us lies One side of the face Believes those lies One side of the face Believes nothing at all We were all young together One throw of the dice No one left but survivors One side of the face Divided by two One side of the face A darkening cloud One side of the face Won't stand up Against the army of the rich See us watching where they step Unseeing eyes listening for promises One side of the face Praising love One side of the face Can't hear the praise One side of the face Lost it's soul Changing seasons Life gives us age Who gives us insecurity Through the seasons How many children were unhappy How many elders grow up lonely One side of the face Has a crooked smile One side of the face Prays for salvation One side of the face Prays with an E Summers and Autumns of our lives Imaginations trapped in tech-no-logic Corrals industrial hunting grounds After youth before age entire lives Spent never figuring what happens One side of the face Doesn't know any better One side of the face Is better than that One side of the face Hides from itself And the other side of the face knows it
