Tell me what it is, what you want
Why ya shut me out
Who you're gonna get to do it with ya
When you can't do it by yourself
Speak now or forever hold your peace y'all

Tell me what you love, what's in your blood
Tell me the truth and voodoo child
Get your soul saved
So say what you can't say out laud
When everybody's watching

Where do you stand when you land in the frying pan
Freedom ain't free when you're numb and your number's up
Which way does the tree fall
When you can't read your mouth
When your mind is saying nothing at all

How do you make it stop when you're caught with your pants down
Lying through your teeth and never seeing or believing
That the world is round
And it's coming back to bite you

Where do you stand when you land in the frying pan
Freedom ain't free when you're numb and your number's up
Which way does the tree fall
When you can't read your mouth
When your mind is saying nothing at all

Ain't no playing hide and seek
Trouble with your double speak
Mindless, spineless
Is that the way you get your kicks
Trying to make a fool believe

Where do you stand when you land in the frying pan
Freedom ain't free when you're numb and your number's up
Which way does the tree fall
When you can't read your mouth
When your mind is saying nothing at all
Nothing at all

Which way does the tree fall
When you can't read your mouth
When your mind is saying nothing at all
