Jethro TullMiscellaneousThick As A Brick (Part Two)See there, a man is born, and we pronounce him fit for peaceThere's a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his diseaseWe'll take the child from him, put it to the testTeach it to be a wise man, how to fool the rest(We will be gearing toward the average rather than the exceptional)(God's an overwhelming responsibility)(We walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons)(It says here that cats are on the upgrade, upgrade ?)In the clear white circles of morning wonderI take my place with the lord of the hillsAnd the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloredIn neat little rows, sporting canvas frillsWith their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attentionWhilst queueing for sarnies at the office canteenSinging, How's your grannie ?, and good old ErnieHe coughed up a tenner on a premium bond winThe legends worded in the ancient tribal hymnLie cradled in the seagull's callAnd all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadist's fallThe poet and the wise man stand behind the gunAnd signal for the crack of dawn, light the sunDo you believe in the day ?The dawn creation of the kings has begunSoft Venus lonely maiden brings the ageless oneDo you believe in the day ?The fading hero has returned to the nightAnd fully pregnant with the day, wise men endorse the poet's sightDo you believe in the day ?Let me tell you the tales of your lifeOf your love and the cut of the knifeThe tireless oppression the wisdom instilledThe desire to kill or be killedLet me sing of the losers who lieIn the street as the last bus goes byThe pavements are empty, the gutters run redWhile the fool toasts his god in the skySo, come all ye young men who are building castlesKindly state the time of the yearAnd join your voices in a hellish chorusMark the precise nature of your fearLet me help you to pick up your deadAs the sins of the fathers are fedWith the blood of the fools and the thoughts of the wiseAnd from the pan under your bedLet me make you a present of songAs the wise man breaks wind and is goneWhile the fool with the hour-glass is cooking his gooseAnd the nursery rhyme winds alongSo, come all ye young men who are building castlesKindly state the time of the yearAnd join your voices in a hellish chorusMark the precise nature of your fearSee, the summer lightning casts its bolts upon youAnd the hour of judgement draweth nearWould you be the fool stood in the suit of armourOf the wiser man who rushes clear ?So, come on you childhood heroes, won't you rise up from the pagesOf your comic-books, your super-crooks, and show us all the way ?Well, make your will and testament, won't you join your local government ?We'll have Superman for president, let Robin save the daySo, where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday ?And where are all the sportsmen who always pulled you through ?They're all resting down in Cornwall, writing up their memoirsFor a paperback edition of the boy scout manualSo you ride yourselves over the fieldsAnd you make all your animal dealsAnd your wise men don't know how it feelsTo be Thick as a Brick
