Lyrics Slip-Along Jack Mctravis - Mycelia

Slip-Along Jack Mctravis

Feed the flames and inhale the ash
Ideology settles and cultures clash
Viral outbreaks of poisoned words
To be heard and revered as we brave the lash
Automatic, programmatic disbelief to break this static
Disenchantment by savagely dogmatic fucking policies
To rise above the secrecy amidst the afterglow
The things one does to gain recognition
Will never be enough
Misled by pieces of paper
It will never be enough
It will never be enough
Let me cast one manuscript into the sheet of time
And now you begin again
All hands aside
But you are not
Remember you’ve been told
But why I do not what?
The things one does to gain recognition
They will never be enough
This granite stone ain’t moving for you, so…
Think I’d roll in a ditch?
Your controllable bitch
It’s so mad to be sane oh
Dancing for you Sucker
Right everybody, here tonight we’ve got the wonderful
Slip-along Jack McTravis
He’s all the way from the South of England, and he’s here to make your night
It once was said there will come a time
When I shall kneel or sit on my hands
Carry on like a mindless mule
Sound of mind no more
Musing if I’m going to downgrade
Polarize my core
Yet not show a frown
And step in line
They become wisdom kings and they
Say your life is all pissed away
Claim you’re lying regardless and they live the same, oh-oh!
They become autocratic and they
Say your life is all pissed away
Claim you’re lying regardless and they live the same, oh-oh!
(Unless our policies change dramatically
The middle class will disappear
And we will be back to late 18th- century France
Before the revolution
And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich
For all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds
Wake up people
Wake up sheeple
It won’t fucking last!)
Pitchforks are going to come for us
The torches are going to come for us
Pitchforks are coming for us
They become autocratic and they
Say your life is all pissed away
Claim you’re lying regardless and they
Live the same, oh-oh!
(Just a barred hole in the wall)
Just a barred hole in the wall
(Just a barred hole in the wall)
Just a barred whole in the wall
Just a barred whole in the wall
This door will stay closed
They become wisdom kings and they
Say your life is all pissed away
Claim you’re lying regardless and they live the same, oh-oh!
They become autocratic and they
Say your life is all pissed away
Claim you’re lying regardless and they live the same, oh-oh!
Selling your soul is to say that it’s over
That it’s over
Yeah, selling your soul is to…
Selling your soul is to…
They become wisdom kings and they
Say your life is all pissed away
Claim you’re lying regardless and they live the same, oh-oh!
So when they feel I got a mind made of steel
I’m going to rock
You know I’m heading for a 1,2,3,4
I’m like a real atomic bomb
I’m like a real atomic bomb
I’m like a real atomic bomb
You want me to shake?
Shake baby!
No society can sustain
This kind of rising inequality
In fact, there is no example In human history
