Shinola |
I have been ringing your doorbell |
But you left me standing in the hall |
And you make love by the numbers |
That doesn’t mean there’s any love at all |
Now there you go with a big explanation |
Why do you waste your time? |
And there you go, under estimation |
Of the thoughts that cross my mind |
This is your promise that you put up for sale |
It’s done like a picture from a fairy tale |
But still there’s a difference, let me show it to you |
This is crapola, this is shinola |
I see you’re still in the headlines |
You pegged the latest trend again this week |
I’m not impressed by the outfit |
Or your revolutionary chic |
And here it comes |
I see you forming the words, you’re performing the exercise |
And here it comes |
It’s the feeling that I heard the same speech a hundred times |
This is the jabber of a chimpanzee |
The motion of your mouth looks much the same to me |
The differentiation might be hard to see |
But this is crapola, this is shinola |
Everyone’s talking, few of them know |
The rest are pretending, they put on a show |
And if there’s a message I guess this is it |
Truth isn’t easy, the easy part’s shit |
And here it comes |
Now I’m forming the words, I’m performing the exercise |
And here it comes |
It’s the feeling that I’ve made the same speech a million times |
These are your leaders, come on take a look |
They’ll lie and cheat and steal then sell the rights to the book |
And these are your neighbors who have swung to the right |
But you don’t have to worry just as long as you’re white |
And my generation is just waiting to die |
We’ll swallow anything if it would just get us high |
I don’t know who’s a bigger fool |
But one thing I know |
This is crapola, this is shinola |
