| Culture envy culture war
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Count your dead
|
| Kill your poor
|
| What are you looking to find here?
|
| Absolution, attainment
|
| Atonement, justification
|
| All priced to move you
|
| (Standing like it’s action)
|
| Bide time with brought rhymes
|
| High five to nine for naught
|
| Joke with misdirected lies
|
| Who the fuck aren’t you kidding
|
| I knew you back in school when there
|
| Were less actores to look up to
|
| Studying simplicity
|
| We still meant the laughter
|
| If you could love yourself
|
| The way you do them
|
| There’d be life after
|
| The playwrights lowered their guns
|
| There’s peace pieces to up again
|
| You used to build
|
| Mind your pen
|
| Remind your pen
|
| I’m sick of the video you’ve
|
| Rewound us in
|
| The headaches:
|
| Still shots taken in sequence
|
| Hung over old dreams to dry and
|
| Develop moldy cultures
|
| Still;
|
| All this sun and you’re sleeping
|
| In the dark room
|
| Waiting on a film caked thick within
|
| Cleaning stained windowsills
|
| Instead of taking panes
|
| Out of eyes
|
| (I'm out of rhymes)
|
| Colourless you hid behind heavy lids
|
| Eating surface shit
|
| Somewhere deep you swear
|
| Respect exists
|
| (Exits upstage right)
|
| Tradegy:
|
| Indefinitely more down than a kiss
|
| The assumed and the actual
|
| Are both a sad performane
|
| An audience will answer
|
| If you question them correct
|
| You don’t see the bloody entertainers
|
| You’re trying to resurrect
|
| Not knowing you’re looking
|
| Is atonement cash or check?
|
| Absolved and justified
|
| Create an ego to protect
|
| Center level center roar
|
| Center level center roar
|
| Center level center roar
|
| Is an army is a form
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Count your blessings
|
| Kill your poor
|
| Culture envy world over
|
| Respect drunk war sober
|
| I’ll fight for no flag
|
| And battle all devices
|
| Old men divide soil spoils
|
| For us to toil indecisive
|
| Over whose music’s origins
|
| Are righteous or damned
|
| Or if one is the same can both be
|
| Wrought with your hands
|
| We’ve wroung out all lands and brought
|
| Bought life
|
| Back to life
|
| Only this time we’ll go ahead and say the
|
| Origins were white
|
| Heads in the sand that kept us warm from
|
| The rhythms of the night
|
| You’d think history
|
| Would give fair warning
|
| But it doesn’t make for good
|
| Sales or stories
|
| And don’t think we’re done
|
| Stealing the past
|
| Or telling it to you second-hand
|
| While tipping the hour glass
|
| And tilting our hats
|
| One-third
|
| Eyed
|
| Now dance
|
| I remember when the beat moved itself
|
| Through sacred trees and ceremonies
|
| A hapless hieroglyph soul-branded on the
|
| Open spaces of consciousness
|
| And we are all con-script scrawled across
|
| The middle canvas
|
| Draw fast — answer nothing
|
| There’s no question they’ve been here
|
| Glyph lock pick pockets
|
| Patrolling the selling block
|
| For cheap/easy targets
|
| The dueling heretics of a new religion
|
| Doodling death wish on a
|
| Fluttery paper soul
|
| Draw fast
|
| Black canvas impervious
|
| To shades' shame
|
| Paint the world lovely
|
| With indecipherable song
|
| Plant the flag of the insane
|
| In land unsold
|
| Forego the envious and warring
|
| To play the unknown
|
| What is culture but the gift of dream
|
| What is life but to sing
|
| Sleep unseen
|
| Center level center roar
|
| Center level center roar
|
| Center level center roar
|
| In an end many more
|
| Culture envy culture war

|
| Count your dead
|
| Kill your poor
|
| By now you should’ve died twice
|
| We’re not communicating
|
| One line at a time or
|
| A version of a dying woman
|
| On my doorstep
|
| Fading fast the second time around
|
| What’s inside these sounds you mouth
|
| Did you hear the call
|
| From across the ages
|
| The sea takes us back too quickly
|
| And I’m far from grounded
|
| Now’s the time to sail
|
| Before the last tree falls
|
| I’m seeing my mentors sage-less
|
| Casting outside their realm
|
| Ex-spelling P. G. Concepts
|
| To conjure self
|
| I’m seeing priests
|
| Prostrate to prophecy
|
| Praying in the wrong room
|
| Count your blessings
|
| And sell the difference
|
| I’m seeing indifferent sould
|
| In different cells
|
| Spilling blood like wine
|
| Just to know they’ve been here
|
| Hold your pitcher
|
| Kill your pour
|
| Try to clip these wings
|
| Still we soar
|
| Frantically flapping the faces
|
| Of (not) our kids
|
| Heading south to sea too soon to say
|
| 'Stay — I’ve seen'
|
| Nothing but envy for the green
|
| War for the greed
|
| Innumerable dead blessings
|
| And your poor peaceful resting
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Culture envy culture war
|
| Count your blessings
|
| Kill your poor |
