If all the lights went out
all around the world
would we all,
be totally blind?
When all the speakers,
radio, T.V., mono and stereo
were to blow up,
we would all be deaf?
and do not forget
if no one had a tongue
in there big mouth,
would we all be silent?
last but not least
the nose, that smells
and the hands that steel
and what if they were gone?
What would the world be like?
would we see the rain?
would we hear the mic?
would we still talk shit?
would we still feel the pain?
would the lemon still be bitter?
Or would it be sweet?
