So I told him that he?d better shut his mouth   And do his job like a man   And he answered "Listen, father"      "I will never kill another"   He thinks he?s better than his brother that died   What the hell does he think he?s doing   To his father who brought him up right?      Take your place on the great Mandala   As it moves through your brief moment of time   Win or lose now, you must choose now   And if you lose you?re only losing your life      Tell the jailer not to bother   With his meal of bread and water today   He is fasting ?til the killing?s over      He?s a martyr, he thinks he?s a prophet   But he?s a coward, he?s just playing a game   He can?t do it, he can?t change it   It?s been going on for ten thousand years      Take your place on the great Mandala   As it moves through your brief moment of time   Win or lose now, you must choose now   And if you lose you?re only losing your life      Tell the people they are safe now   Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell   Death has gagged his accusations      We are free now, we can kill now   We can hate now, now we can end the world   We?re not guilty, he was crazy   And it?s been going on for ten thousand years      Take your place on the great Mandala   As it moves through your brief moment of time   Win or lose now you must choose now   And if you lose you?ve only wasted your life
