| It was a real butcher job how they opened up my flesh
|
| And removed anything that moved in my chest
|
| At best the surgery was just an educated guess
|
| Segregated text documented regulated mess
|
| Classroom watched as they peeled back my stab wounds
|
| Under Fire light, Spanish moss and a black moon
|
| A half-hearted-healer sold me patience for a penny
|
| I was not in the right state to be in this city
|
| Whoever wrote the chapter on the digital disaster
|
| Must’ve smoked up something deadly from the dark side of the pasture
|
| Its captured its cornered don’t feed it or face it forward
|
| Just keep promising tomorrow while today is last weeks order
|
| Feel the fakeness slide through you like drive-thru food do you
|
| Yeah I watched it choke, man, I watched it croak what’s it to you?
|
| Speak up! |
| My ear’s peaked;
|
| What you got to fear these
|
| Days are full of gear grease peddlers and low end theories
|
| Rock, rock on to rock bottomless
|
| Gangrene metropolis, Mainstream anonymous
|
| Rock, rock on to rock bottomless
|
| Empty out your pockets quick and tell me what the problem is
|
| Rock, rock on to rock bottomless
|
| Just cuz they talk that shit don’t mean you have to swallow it
|
| Extra, extra, the headline will cost you extra
|
| Truth costs even more cheddar; |
| arm, leg, et cetera, et cetera
|
| Next up the rest of the festival of freaks
|
| Hear Capitol Hill confessions from a vegetable that speaks
|
| Trade your still-beating heart for a pill-eating mule
|
| Than thank the academy for forty acres and a pool
|
| Rise above, look out below when its time to flood
|
| Don’t try to hide the cuts now that the stars are lining up
|
| Boy these times are rough! |
| Got rich men singing the blues
|
| In front of sold out stadium concerts full of the billionaires they blew
|
| Who knew that the day you agreed to eat a quarter-
|
| It’d rattle like a BB in a tin can and your eyes would roll back out of order
|
| Stagger; |
| fall back; |
| fade to black in the corner
|
| The day you sell the former the darkness will be waiting for ya
|
| California breathes gold dust as she slips into unconsciousness
|
| Exhaling fallen idols faster than she finds a god to kiss
|
| Rock, rock on to rock bottomless
|
| Gangrene metropolis, Mainstream anonymous
|
| Rock, rock on to rock bottomless
|
| Empty out your pockets quick and tell me what the problem is
|
| Rock, rock on to rock bottomless
|
| Just cuz they talk that shit don’t mean you have to swallow it |
