How are you he asks?

What a stupid question

They ask how I am
Because they don't understand

They sit in front of a television for hours
They have the old American consciousness

I am empty
The rhinoceros' tusk has no place to enter

I inhabit a different realm

You do not know the tao
The tao is wise mother

I always thought that was
A stupid question

Tired of this place
Tired of no jobs

Notice I do not ask how you are
Because I do not care

I wish you well
But stay away from me
Stay away

I am a full grown eagle
Trapped inside this little American home

There are no jobs
The dog is barking
He falls asleep in front of the television

Hahah
He is just repeating the same cycle

I go to the mountains
The mountains do not bother me
And ask how I am

If I lived on earth for a hundred million years
Never ever ever would you know how I am

I know how you are
You are a body high on pills
Drugs you put into your body
Every week
To give you some kind of false "high"

I do not take pills
Nor will I ever
