Bill Beare - Raven Lyrics

Anti-government, anti-capitalism, anti-armament, anti-religion
Always anti-something always full of antsy opinions
Embarrassing to most, crazy to some
More the middle finger than the raising of the thumb
Will suffer no bullshit, spin or scam
Says, 'Well it's who I am'
Reckless, tactless; more than a bit
Menacing, if anything, to those who're full o' shit

He's a raven, a raving lunatic
There's crazy, madness in his eyes
A raven, a raving lunatic
Dying to try it on for size

Well, don't try to put anything past him; he'll give you some of what for
Not a violent person really but his aggression is assured
Screaming, shouting, in your face, brash in his youth
It's all about a simple case of passion for the truth
Loves the unrest, any protest, he's there
With a fair assessment of what he thinks is fair
Hot-headed, hard-arsed, hard core
Got to be more than you have ever bargained for

There are some who try to comfort him: some who sympathize
And some who try to mother him, calm the madness in his eyes
Some who try to follow; Say they see what he can see
But he's not pushing anybody's barrow, says 'I'm doing it for me!'
Sights set on oblivion, if that's where it all leads
Wants to change the world he's living in and pull out all the weeds
Says to all who feel protected when they do their dirty deeds
Say's someone's gonna get it, someone's gonna bleed

He's a raven, a raving lunatic
He's just dying to try it on for size
He's a raven, a raving lunatic
And he's there in the mirror right behind my eyes
He's a raven, a raving lunatic
But we know that he's not the only one
He's a strange one but he's honest
And he's there inside every one of us
When we get that glimpse of what's really going on
He's a raven
