The View

[Verse 1: Lou Reed] I am a chorus of the voices That gather up the magnets Set before me I attract you and repel you A science of the heart And blood and meaning The coldness of most beauties Is a challenge that our youth Must quickly conquer There is no time for guilt Or second guessing, second guessing Based on feeling I am the truth, the beauty That causes you to cross Your sacred boundaries I have no morals Some think me cheap And someone who despises The normalcy of heartbreak The purity of love But I worship the young And just formed angel Who sits upon the pin of lust Everything else Bores me [Chorus: Lou Reed] I want to see your suicide I want to see you give it up Your life of reason I want you on the floor And in a coffin your soul shaking I want to have you doubting Every meaning you have amassed Like a fortune Oh, throw it away For worship someone Who actively despises you [Bridge: James Hetfield] I am the root I am the progress I am the aggressor I am the tablet These ten stories [Verse 2: Lou Reed] Worship! Worship! Pain and evil have their place Sitting here beside me I offer them to you as servants Of the gold that you must give Pain and evil have their place Sitting here beside me And I will offer them, I offer them to you As servants of the gold That you must give to me [Chorus: Lou Reed] [Outro: James Hetfield] I am the view I am the table I am the view I am the table I am all this! I am the root, the progress, the aggressor I am the table I am the ten stories I am the table! I am, I am, I am, I am! I ammmmmm!
