The Lives of Flies |
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born |
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn |
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know |
When you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go |
I woke up when I hit the ground without a penny to my name |
I threw away the only love I got and hung my head in shame |
When I had nothing I remembered what I need |
I bought no joy material, just fodder for my greed |
Now you got this, everything you needed to survive |
The addition is the mission that you be accessorized |
But it’s all a pack of lies, you know that it’s true |
If you don’t commoditize tell me what will you do |
Is everything you’re wearing the extension of self? |
Every action that you’re taking for progression of wealth? |
If you didn’t have a color TV how would you see? |
If you didn’t have a social life then who would you be? |
Cause everybody wants, and thinks they need |
Whether internet, cell phone, or blood you bleed |
But only one of the three is gonna keep you alive |
Tell me, how far can you get without the car you drive |
They tell us that we need it, but really we don’t |
They say buy what we sell but you can tell them you won’t |
If you ever see the day that you’re finally done |
Could you give it all away if the time should ever come? |
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born |
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn |
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know |
When you hit rock bottom, only one way left to go |
Now intrinsic as it seems, it’s really just a fallacy |
Everything is challenging, it’s all about balancing |
Cause when you try to have a peace of mind |
It ain’t hard to find, I want a piece of what’s mine |
So fuck the time, everything will come eventually |
Essentially the only thing to hold us back is chemistry |
Cause what we put in our bodies is what we put in our brain |
And if the mix isn’t perfect than it can make you insane |
So tell me who’s the one to blame |
Every man, woman, child, if they think the same |
Every docile action, distraction from our passion |
Every session of depression if you lack satisfaction |
They tell us that we need it, but really we don’t |
They say buy what we sell but you can tell 'em you won’t |
If you ever see the day that you’re finally done |
Could you give it all away if the time should ever come? |
The lives of flies and then we die as quickly as we’re born |
Nothing that we make is taken, happiness or scorn |
If every hope abandons you, there’s peace in that you know |
When you hit rock bottom, there’s just one way left to go |
