Lyrics for Grand Designs

A to B Different degrees So much style without substance So much stuff without style It's hard to recognize the real thing It comes along once in a while Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk Shapes and forms, against the norm Against the run-of-the-mill Swimming against the stream Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme So much poison in power, the principles get left out So much mind on the matter, the spirit gets forgotten about Like a righteous inspiration overlooked in haste Like a teardrop in the ocean, a diamond in the waste Some world views are spacious And some are merely spaced Against the run-of-the-mill Static as it seems We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams Curves and lines Of grand designs Against the run-of-the-mill Swimming against the stream Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme Against the run-of-the-mill Static as it seems We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh
