Against the grain
This lulling sense or purpose will destroy us rapidly
Against the grain
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear
Swimming upstream
Against the grain
The flow is getting stronger with small increments of time
Against the grain
I maintain against the grain
But away from the potential of the individual
There's an oriented public who's magnetic force does pull
There ignored and defeated by the government
That's where I'll stay
That's where I'll stay
I seek a thousand answers I find but one or two
I maintain against the grain
There's a common consensus and an uncomfortable cheer
Swimming upstream
Against the grain
But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away
That's where I'll stay
Swimming upstream
I maintain against the grain
I maintain no discomfiture my path again renewed
Against the grain
You need all that the other has your right to seize the day
It sings, 'Leave your cares behind you just grab tenaciously'
That's where I'll stay
Against the grain
I maintain against the grain
And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find
Swimming upstream
Here labeled as a lunatic sequestered and content
