SPOONBOY LYRICS

"Carol Rhodes"

carol rhodes knew that she seemed as a sculpture of stone,
to those who grew up living history's end.
she said "if there's something worse than not living to see what the worth of your work is,
it's living to find no one's heard that you fought for it."
and carol rhodes, well no one ever said that it would be understood.
and history books, well they said "this is how things always looked. it's not to be shook."

harold arthur grew up fighting for something that then seemed impossible:
liberation from a law.
he said "when you're not worth as much as the other folks riding the bus,
you put up a fuss. put your life above some law."
and harold's blood, no one ever said that it would be understood.
and carol rhodes explained "sometimes you just do what you know that you should,
even when it don't feel good."

carol rhodes, she said,
"history books may have said this is how things always looked,
but things have been shook. they have been shook.
and carol rhodes, she said,
"if there was just one thing that could be understood:
it's that we've since seen things that we thought then impossible."
