Rush - Presentation Lyrics
IV. Presentation 10:14... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing,I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces.Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voiceechoed throughout the silent Temple Hall."...... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected,they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise,sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as FatherBrown ground my precious instrument to splintersbeneath his feet..."I know it's most unusualTo come before you soBut I've found an ancient miracleI thought that you should knowListen to my musicAnd hear what it can doThere's something here as strong as lifeI know that it will reach you.Yes, we know it's nothing newIt's just a waste of timeWe have no need for ancient waysThe world is doing fineAnother toy will help destroyThe elder race of manForget about your silly whimIt doesn't fit the plan.I can't believe you're sayingThese things just can't be trueOur world could use this beautyJust think what we might do.Listen to my musicAnd hear what it can doThere's something here as strong as lifeI know that it will reach you.Don't annoy us furtherWe have our work to do.Just think about the averageWhat use have they for you?Another toy will help destroyThe elder race of manForget about your silly whimIt doesn't fit the plan.
