lyrics

I'm clearing my conscience
I'm talking simple like Amish
And when you music is honest
I'm shoutin' "Mission accomplished!"
Can we consolidate all this?
This unintelligible garble
Another ego to swaddle
Another model to coddle
Projected hero to follow
Come let us scroll as we wallow
In jealousy and denial
Ignore the scum on the tile
They like to call it senile
Check out my cats and my style
A homicide with no trial
And even though we goin' fight them
The biggots never indict 'em
Between the regal and righteous
Give them a spark they goin' light this
But we don't need all this violence
An #ELEPHANTINTHEROOM
Has got be singin' the blues
And now I'm reading the news
An obstacle to remove
Let's keep it local and active
Label respect as attractive
Repeat it over and over
In fact we've got to keep at it...

List of addictions to sever
Gotta keep it steady as ever
I'm talkin' ready for never
Gotta make it better and better
Enlightenment of a cheshire
And a little luck of the rabbit
You know we're all on this planet
Some only rape it and trash it
Begets perpetual sadness
It's like we need all this madness
Can we be ready for action
When Love is only a fraction
Of what we need for refraction
This paradigm full of passion
When shallow hearts are in fashion

You can call me crazy
When I hold the door for a lady
And work when no one will pay me
Speak of kindness to greatly
It's not a "kind of" or "maybe"...
