Douglas Aldridge - Plank In Your Eye

3 · Plank in Your Eye


(Verse)
And the plank in your eye,
And the speck in mine.
Think of how to get it out
Without a sense of sight.

And the plank in your eye,
And the speck in mine.
I told him over and over,
I’ll only tell him one more time.

That you can’t extract the black,
And you can’t extract the white.
You can’t extract the sadness
When the two are combined.
When the two are combined.
When the two are combined.
When the two are combined.

And I’m,
Just a little boy under the table,
feeling so secure and so damn stable.
I’m looking out at the world and it’s a fable.
I can’t believe it’s just a fable.
It’s just a fable.
It’s just a fable.
It’s just a fable.
It’s just a fable.
But I was never warned
Only poked, prodded, and scorned.
God's wrath and vengeance.
God's wrath and vengeance
Well it’s about time
It’s about time
It’s about time

What’s it about?
About time.
What’s it about?
About time.
What’s it about?
It’s about time.
What’s it about?
It’s about time.
It’s about time.


(Verse)
And the plank in your eye,
And the speck in mine.
I told him over and over,
I’ll only tell him one more time.

That you can’t extract the black,
And you can’t extract the white.
You can’t extract the sadness
When the two are combined.
When the two are combined.
When the two are combined.
When the two are combined.
Stale friends, cheese, and wine.
Where is the blue in the sky?
The green is gone but not forgotten.
Slanderous friends, they’re just too sly.
They’re too sly.
They’re too sly.
They’re too sly
And They’re just too sly.

And I was never warned
Only poked, prodded, and scorned.
God's wrath and vengeance.
God's wrath and vengeance
Well it’s about time
It’s about time
It’s about time.


(Outro)
Open your eyes
And see the world for the first time,
See the world for the last time.
Open your eyes
And see the world for the first time,
See the world for the last time.
Open your eyes
And see the world for the first time,
See the world for the last time.
