| Today I learned
|
| That I wasn’t built for the game
|
| That I’d rather play floor gigs for 40 kids
|
| Than any fucking festival stage
|
| I’m a martyr at most
|
| I’m a failure at least
|
| In the eyes of history I’ll be no more than a leaf on a tree
|
| 3000 years of work surrounding me
|
| By forgotten anonymous artists
|
| Beauty for bosses
|
| Before fame was even a concept
|
| Some of them were stoned to death
|
| For the way that they expressed
|
| Today we’re only stoned by debt and dope
|
| And twitter feeds of jokes
|
| Hand me that Obama phone
|
| Text me love notes
|
| Lay my head to rest on a museum bench
|
| And hope that they properly mummify me one day
|
| So generations can learn from my broken bones
|
| Dug from under man made mountains of ATMs and motherboards
|
| I am alone
|
| Self aware
|
| Fat
|
| Getting old
|
| Capitalism is violence
|
| They say it’s all we know
|
| I read about a time before prisons existed
|
| Heard of an era before banks
|
| Before civilians were born victims
|
| Dreamt of a place with no cops
|
| Where skin color was insignificant
|
| Where you could love whoever you wanted
|
| Because it’s nobody’s business
|
| Fuck a world
|
| Where justice is impossible
|
| Where governments call cynics hostile
|
| And equality is a Utopian concept
|
| Fuck a world
|
| That forces me to suckle its teat
|
| Pay to breath
|
| And charges legal fees for a chance to be free
|
| If this is free
|
| Somebody please beat the life out of me
|
| (Just kidding… but seriously)
|
| I will die an artist, an artifact, a bad joke
|
| From a naive time when human beings still had hope
|
| This will sound better when I’m dead (x3)
|
| Everything sounds better when you’re dead |
