Recapitulation - Lyrics

1. Actions Speak Volumes

You're tired of being labeled 

as someone who never says a word

I know you'd rather listen 

That's OK with me 

You don't need to be heard

I'd say Do Not Disturb


Voicing my thoughts once again

However well-meaning the intent

Actions Speak Volumes

Accept this as a gift


But lately you've been able

to stand your ground 

You're happy Nonetheless,

You're no longer in need of

someone like me to

keep an eye on you

There must be someone new


Voicing my thoughts once again

However well-meaning the intent

Actions Speak Volumes

Accept this as a gift


Voicing my thoughts once again

However well-meaning the intent

Actions Speak Volumes

Actions Speak Volumes

Actions Speak Volumes


2. What Would You Have Me Do ?

Confiding in me at all hours of the night

But you won't let me

stay 'til the morning sun lights the day

Why do you compartmentalize always with me ?


I'm not trying to say that it is

never a good thing

When left alone,

the time is great though we can

get carried away


What Would You Have Me Do ?

What Would You Have Me Do ?


So, I'm investing and that's

bound to take awhile 

Like when you're trying

my patience by mistake

I am guessing there will be a lower rate of return for me


I'm not trying to say I didn't 

enjoy all those evenings 

When we're alone, it's hard to leave

But that is too few and far between


What Would You Have Me Do ?

What Would You Have Me Do ?


I'm not trying to say that it is

never a good thing

When left alone, 

the time is great though we can

get carried away


What Would You Have Me Do ?

What Would You Have Me Do ?

What Would You Have Me Do ?

What Would You Have Me Fo ?

3. Hope To See You Then

When we meet on the road that's narrow


I've gotta be ready for twists and turns

Maybe make a list (Prepare for the worst)

I better make sure I've checked every word

Nothing missed (Leave no stone unturned)

This will be a trip


I  have to have everything set in place

It's very much an imperative (make no mistakes)

I've gotta be ready for twists and turns

Maybe make that list (Prepare for the worst)

This will be the trip of a lifetime


When we meet on the road that's narrow,

there will be a cause for celebration

When we meet tears will flow, that's a given

Hope To See You Then


This will be the trip of a lifetime


When we meet on the road that's narrow,

there will be a cause for celebration

When we meet tears will flow, that's a given

Hope To See You Then


4. Net Worth

If you take what you've been taught all with a grain of salt,

those ideas are all you've got

Stay authentic

When you put too much stock in your gains not your loss,

that in turn might very well lead to panic


We're measured out in simple terms

There's two ways to go

Just getting by is not the same as 

rolling in dough

While those out robbing Peter do it 

just to pay Paul, 

the rest are sitting pretty with their

portfolio


If you leave it well enough alone, 

it seems there's no luck

You can't change what has been done,

or dismiss it

So, ante up to stay on course

There is no risk without rewards

Why concede during a fight ?

Be aggressive


We're measured out in simple terms

There's two ways to go

Just getting by is not the same as 

rolling in dough

While those out robbing Peter do it

just to pay Paul,

the rest are sitting pretty with their

portfolio

5. Infinity To One

Open your ears and listen up

Something's amiss in modern pop

What do you hear ? The sound's not soft

If it can't be turned down it's a turn-off


Cos' they've hit a wall

and squashed it - Infinity To One

With digital, clearly the future's louder than bombs


Down through the years there always was

a limited range agreed upon

Compress but preserve , the Masters taught

A process that time has now forgot


Cos' they've hit a wall

and squshed it - Infinity To One

With digital, clearly the futures's louder than bombs


Dynamics


Cos' they've they've hit a wall

and squashed it - Infinity To One

With digital, clearly the future's louder than bombs

...but that's what the kids want

6. Stealth Mode

So many people today have a

hidden agenda

Has it always been this way ?

I'm beginning to wonder

It's in our nature to gain the trust through friendship over time

Still then we may find

a hidden agenda


Agenda

Agenda

Agenda

Agenda


So many people today have a

hidden agenda

In this day and age

More than we're even aware of

It's in our interest to ask a query such as :

What do I get out of the deal ?

Though this may reveal 

a hidden agenda


Agenda

Agenda

Agenda

Agenda


So many people today have a

hidden agenda

There's no way to escape

Even through any ol' window

It's silly to think most folks are on the level

when we know some who are

secretly,

knowingly,

willingly harboring

a hidden agenda


Agenda

Agenda

Agenda

7. World Of Hurt

Lotta lotta lotta La

Lotta lotta lotta La


If things keep going like they're going

we'll be in for a World of Hurt

The river of doubt is overflowing

and you can't go against the current


Big Tech, Big Food, Big Pharma,

Big Trouble

Something really has to change

on the double


Lotta lotta lotta La

Lotta lotta lotta La

Lotta lotta lotta La

Lotta lotta lotta La


If things keep going like they're going

we'll be in for a World of Hurt

The river of doubt is overflowing

and you can't go against the current


Big Money, Big Sports, Big Music,

Big War

You can really have it all...and more

If things keep going like they're going

we'll be in for a World of Hurt


Lotta lotta lotta lotta La

( This World of Hurt )

Lotta lotta lotta La

( This World of Hurt )


Big Tech, Big Food, Big Pharma,

Big Trouble

Something really has to change

on the double

If things keep goong like they're going

we'll be in for a World of Hurt


Something really has to change 

this World of Hurt

Something really has to change 

this World of Hurt

Something really has to change

this World of Hurt

8. Hazy Gray

I've lived in the Hazy Gray

it's not my first foray

into the Hazy Gray

But it's not my place to stay


You won't need emotions so don't

even pack those bags

Keep it strictly business and you'll

never feel those pangs


I've lived in the Hazy Gray

It's not my first foray

into the Hazy Gray

But it's not my place to to stay


You won't need true feelings 

On the surface will suffice

To go beyond a certain point

is against my best advice


I've lived in the Hazy Gray

It's not my first foray

into the Hazy Gray

But it's not my place to stay


Hazy Gray

Hazy Gray


I've lived in the Hazy Gray

It's not my first foray 

into the Hazy Gray

But it's not my place to stay

 

Into the Hazy Gray

Into the Hazy Gray

Into the Hazy Gray

9. Another Literal Breaking Point

There's a story developing

But not new it's ongoing and

quite a familiar plot

Outspoken but to a fault

You can choose to associate

or move along


The results are in 

Win or lose

Whichever side you picked

To stay the course or cut -n- run

will have a polarizing effect

 

Another 

Another Literal

Another Literal Breaking 

Another Literal Breaking Point


A structure may seem sound

but one gets the feeling that

something's about to give

Outside where the air is thick

civility is under threat , a ticking bomb


The folks who read know the truth

but many believe the lies

To claim that it's already doomed

We're all in for a big surprise


The results are in

Win or lose

Whichever side you picked

To stay the course or cut -n- run

will have a polarizing effect


Another

Another Literal

Another Literal Breaking

Another Literal Breaking Point

10. Influenczars

Do you follow? Do you follow?

Do you follow? Do you follow?

Do you follow? Do you follow?

Do you follow? Do you follow?


Mister, you've been making it 'hand over fist' but I'm counting the days 'til you cease, and desist 

You've had a good run


Do you follow? Do you follow

any Infuenczars?

Do you follow?  Do you follow

any Influenczars?

Do you follow? Do you follow

any Influenczars?

Do you follow? Do you follow

any Influenczars?


Sister, you are lacking in social grace

but algorithmically-speaking

you're set to outpace almost everyone


I think it would be safe to say

I can't live life this way

But I know it would be wrong to judge 

those unwilling to budge


Altruistic, philanthropic or not

Even the loftiest goals will be shot

You're right on the money


I think it would be safe to safe

I can't live life this way

But I know it would be wrong to judge

those unwilling to budge

11. Coming To Grips

There will be no exemptions

no matter how long you wait

Despite your objections or a

formal complaint

 

Because everything's written 

beforehand, they say

it's all pre-arranged


I'm Coming to Grips

I can handle it now

If it does exist, I will

find out somehow

I'm Coming to Grips


Some will offer resistance to this 

quandary state

With their own insistence that it's 

never too late 

Yes, all is pre-written 

just as I've said

It's even proofread


I'm Coming to Grips

I can handle it now

If it does exist, I will

find out somehow

I'm Coming to Grips


With each new day I try to 

stay in the " Now "

but I go astray 

Can someone

show me how it's done?


I'm Coming to Grips

I can handle it now

If it does exist, I will

find out somehow

I'm Coming to Grips

I'm Coming to Grips

I'm Coming to Grips

I'm Coming to Grips

12. Figurehead

 You can't talk your 

way out from under this

You've got a tell

it's so obvious

Now we're getting to the 

heart of the matter

Let's shake on it

There's a figure in your head

You wanna get back 

all that you put in

There's a figure in your head

You told me you're happy to

break even

How do I read this?

Should I counter with reason?

You must be on something strong

If so, give me some

So, now you're telling me it's

genuine, one of a kind

It's ultra rare and 

I will never find 

another one like it

Not in my lifetime

There's a figure in my head

It's gonna be less than the

price you said

There's a figure in my head

and I don't intend to spend

one more cent
