Alone in a crowd just like a jailhouse
But I'm reaching for something real
And I'm sure on the street
There are people just like me
Who know the way that I feel
I've heard from the fools
And I've followed the blind
But I'm not going to be defeated
Now I want to hear from a truthful source
'Cause I'm sick of being cheated
A quest for something crtainty
So-called educators are just big speculators
On topics unrelated to me
Filled my head with school;
Now what do I do
No wisdom just a paper degree
So many people teach
So many people preach
And make a claim to authority
But I've seen in their lives
They compromise
So why should they be teaching me
College money family
Will these things set us free
Make your mind soon you'll be dead
This world's like a dream
It's not what it seems
You think it's solid but it fades instead
I know so far I've been looking real hard
And I'm trying to get a grip on reality
If there was a place
Where you didn't lie cry die
Would you come with me
A quest for something certainty
Well it's my quest
It's my quest
Well it's my quest
My quest for certainty
In an age that's plagued with absurdity
A quest I'll try my best
To manifest sincerity
What more do they want from me
Well it's my quest
