A Political Song

It's not about you
It's not about me
Not about anybody
it's about everybody

You pray with the father's
that molest your children
They spray with their guns
and arrest your children

I stay cause it's a matter of opinion
Nobody cares whether we wake or sleep in

Keep it up
See what'll happen
The drug will run out
And I'll give you a slap in

The face of the youth
and the smirk of your elders
The stench of the ploy
Keeps the vultures among us
What if I don't
and say I did
What if you take
The highest bid

Take me to town
Let's paint it red
We'll unstain the sheets
on Jesus' head

You never understood the severity of the situation
But what does it matter now that its too late
I involved the security of our little nation
The problem was solved,
but now its too late

The sound of paranoia
echoes in their heads
As the pound of marijuana
keeps her in her bed

She told me she was quiting
But I don't believe
The content of her person
Or what's up her sleeve

You see me love you
But then ask why
You take me dead serious
And then you die

Ask me to lie
(What if I don't and say I did)
Tell me the truth
(What if I take the highest bid)
He always hid it so well
And to this day they don't konw
To what it is I can't tell
If you look at him it won't show

Can you relate
Can you relate
Can you relate to his plight

If you can relate
If you can relate
If you can relate
Your fucked up

So many clues that point to nowhere
And paths that lead to dead ends
He fantasized on going somewhere
Swallow your pride and go there
Hustle, Bustle
Laminated with a sea
of Pompus, pretentious
Hulabaloo

To consumed with oneself
to consume anyone else
To consumed with the future
To appreciate the present

Just want to drive to sleep
Just want to strive to sleep
Just live to try to sleep

Power struggle
Spending fruggle
Sleeping generously
Sweeping vigorously

To enraged with the core
to scratch the surface

Dead skin cells
flake away
Parasites invade away

Breaking ground
introduced into the
blood stream
Write shit like
every single day
And when I came today
I came to play

Life ain't liven
If you ain't havin' fun
Live for the truth
and the lies I put to run

Seems like someone always got it out for me
I close my eyes to dream
But that's when I really see

Don't think just do
that's how I live my life
Don't love just live
That's how I met my wife

I'm not, I am,
I will not, I will

You can't tell me what to do
Say hey!
They only way
That's how, that's how

She's back
Back from the grave
Back for her slave

Here to stay
Say Hey!

Missed, but not forgotten
Missed out on what life has brought and
aprox
The last time I wrote
you laughed
The last time we spoke
You cried

The last time I came
You left
the last time I write
I die
Trivial

Does what he can
For who he could
Lives for the now
Knows no better

Tries to please
Everyone but him
Ends up broke
Good luck with the beg

Sold all his goods
Moved out of town
Founds some new friends
Or what you could call

Fell for the fruit
Fruit did what it could
Pain in the belly
Fruit it was good

Didn't regret any
Never took back
Never gave in
Never gave slack

Now he's a wreck
Lives in the past
Cycles will consume
All in it's path
Sonambulo

Caught in the undertow
It's hard to escape
Cause when you're drowning
the last think you think of is to think

Caught in a nightmare
It's hard to escape
Cause when your dreaming
that last think you think of is to wake

Up your missing out
on the rest of your life
it's now done
passed you by

So much for that

Did she ever have a chance?

We are all angels until we fall from Grace But when you get thrown into a pit, what a disgrace Among the muck and the mire and the con...
