Invertebraes Lyrics - At Osteraker Prison - Johnny Cash

Some men spend a lifetime in the hope they can devise 

A chart which will an able man then someday analyze 

The wretched men who stumble then somehow cannot arise 

They'll pay one man to draw the charts another to declare 

What secret signs are in the lines but do they really care 

That one is long and one is short and one line is not there 

For charts or abstract documents that cannot have a soul 

They cannot tell why this man fell and that one reached his goal 

Nor can they tell why some rebel and lose all self control 

I think a thousand years from now as it was long ago 

Two roads will be for all to see but which way will man go 

Will he arise toward the skies to reach for some new plateau 

Will he devise a brave new world a world thus far unknown 

Will he plow under all the seeds of greed and hate he sewn 

Or will he steal the very field he plants his hopes upon 

As long as there are two such roads a man can look upon 

As long as some men linger deep within the twilight zone 

The weak will always take the road that leads to wall of stone 

There should be made a stone blockade torn from the prison stone 

And make a wall across all roads man should not walk upon 

And let the seeds of bitter weeds grow till that road is gone 

Then those who sot in higher power those who hold the might 

Could then direct the hordes of men on to the way that's right 

And then the men who draw the charts would also see the light
