The Wizerd

The Chick

Met this chick who was pretty sick. She was a long way from home.
She had a dog. I called IT Smog. IT couldn't find its bone.

There was nothing her Wizerd can't do.

She was on her way, she liked to say, to see a Wizerd or two.
You could come along, for the price of a song, if something was wrong with you.

There was nothing her Wizerd can't do.

She said, "Come with me, and i'll guarantee there's nothing the Wiz can't do.
If you're really dumb, and you think you can't come, he's got a bottle of pills that are blue.
He can give you a heart, and that's just a start. He can fix any part that's not right.
If the problem instead is inside your head, he can shrink it till it's out'ta sight."

There was nothing her Wizerd can't do.

She said, "If it's courage you lack, you can get it all back, and not be afraid in the night,
Have no fear of the dog Count Beat calls Smog, 'cause his bark is worse than its bite.
If your NOISE is too big, and your hose is too small and you suffer from halitosis.
Well, he'll fix it for free, if you just follow me, there's no need for a clear diagnosis."

There was nothing her Wizerd can't do.

Later, when you're right, you can learn how to fight with the strength he gives you.

And your heart can bleed when you finally see the pain all around you.

And you'll think you're mad, when the experience you've had begins to haunt you every day.

And you all will agree, when you finally see, the course of destiny is changed forever.

Dorothy said, "You can seek revenge. You can bleed without end, and you can memorize it all. 
These gifts are a friend, and they're yours 'till the end, 'cause the Wizerd will never...
The Wixerd will never set you free.


The Trick

A lion with courage can kill. A tin man with a heart can bleed and not stop,
And a scarecrow, well he won't get laid, 'cause he works all day and night and never gets paid.
You can help your friends. You can claim revenge, You can live like a King of the Jungle.
There will be no escape for the arrogant ape when he steps in the cage to whip you.
He'll be trapped in the cage until you're through.

A lion with bravery will bite, and a tin man with a conscience won't sleep at night,
And a scarecrow, well he doesn't need a brain, 'cause that bag of straw's only good for one damn thing.
You can mislead your friends. You can await revenge, You can live like a Captain of Industry.
There'll be no escape for the naked (bionic) ape when he closes the circuit to start you.
The power will hold him forever.

A lion with power will pounce. (Hey) A tin man without oil will sell his soul for an ounce.
A scarecrow, well, he won't win a fight (never), 'cause his foe just has to give him s light (yeah).
You can cheat your friends. You can forget revenge, You can live like a Master of Nature.
There will be no escape for the hungry ape when he steps in the fields to thresh you.
He'll burn in the fields along with you.

And twists, and turns, and bends. 
But your not going to be like me, You won't wake up in luxury. 
You won't wake up with your family.
