It's the age of reason   for the anarchist   It's a change of venue   for the lobbyist   It's a dream of justice   buried in the grist      It's a secret briefing   based on need to know   It's a condescending rationale   from a command control   Feel the sense of wonder   at the overthrow       It's a rite of passage   through a hurricane    Through a rolling thunder   through a screaming rain    Hear the shriek of Abel   hear the cry of Cain      And Abraham will take his son   Five billion years from now   the cruelty will be done      Make a destination   Of the greater truth    Make 'em hang their heads    and eat their words    When you find the proof   This is all you're given   It's your only move      It's a rite of passage   for the everyman   To a higher ground   To a brighter light   To a promised land   You can feel the power   Of the master's hand      It's a rite of passage
