Armed With A Mind

(专辑： The Things We Carry - 2006)

Caked up and faked up, she's obsessed with the outside.
Nothing earned, too afraid to fail, so she lead a hollow life void of insight.
Loving what you see, but you fear what you think
'Cause your mind and your body, there's a missing fucking link
That leaves you vulnerable, susceptible to pain.
You're a garden of potential submerged in the rain.

True beauty can't be seen with the eyes.

Armed, armed with a mind.
I'm gonna strengthen my action with thought,
Make use of the gift that I got,
And walk fearless 'cause I'm armed with a mind.
A weak offense when you step to this,
Mind over matter is power over fists.
I walk fearless 'cause I'm armed with a mind.

I walk fearless, I walk fearless,
With a mind far greater than your fucking fist.

Spineless and mindless, you flex your muscles, not your fucking head,
A deep man with a strong point made without one thoughtful word said.
Huff and puff, fierce fists will do the talking.
Can't speak for yourself, so your crew's with you walking.
Tell me what's worth fighting for,
And it better be something greater than an evening of the score.

Boy, your true strength sleeps behind your eyes.

Armed with a mind.
I'm gonna strengthen my action with thought,
Make use of the gift that I got,
And walk fearless 'cause I'm armed with a mind.
A weak offense when you step to this,
Mind over matter is power over fists.
I walk fearless 'cause I'm armed with a mind.

With a mind, with a mind,
And I'm walking fearless.

It's the absentminded fool who's afraid to think,
To extend an open hand, to dare to earn a thing.
It's the gift inside your head you can't take for granted
Because an unexamined life is a seed unplanted.
As the animals, they can't reason, but as humans we can,
So are you just a wild animal or a rational man?
Our bodies take you nowhere, might does not make right.
There's a gift inside your head called your mind.
