Featuring T.Whistle (Co-Producer)

lyrics

Jeremiah was a preacher
A conscious man and avid reader
Pats a brow with a handkerchief
Stained glass glow was the cause of it
Just a business-basket-pass
He had every intention to give it back
I mean this cat was a Saint, you know?
A perserverant heart that rivaled Dave and Job
His sermon flowed like Mos Def
"New World Water"
Fuck a teeter totter
Never glutton
Straight as a button
And when you're fussin'
He'll keep you off the 'Tussin
Just lovin' not above you
Now I know I said that Jeremiah was
And not that Jeremiah is
Because we shot him yesterday
That point was hollow-tipped
And you might miss that point of view
Because it's not the same Lord you're praisin'
Or Hannity's the PROD and you're the cattle just-a-grazin'
On some chemical reconstitution
Thrice diluted convolution
Never strive for restitution
What makes up the drugs you're using?
Sorry I'm so serious
I hit you with some real shit
Swag is just the confidence
To speak your mind despite this bullshit

And it's all just bullshit anyway...

Everybody's got something important to say
& everybody's got something important to do
But when you see it through
The end it proves
That it's all just bullshit anyway...

Caroline never saw the sunrise
Never heard a bird cry
Only knew a mushroom sky
And the shrapnel in her eyes
Shattered glass petrified
But to you she's just another line
In a publication Time
We learn from a spoon fed
Television set
Innervision let go
From this life fueled by regret
READY SET BLOW!
Caroline was only two years old when we dropped that bomb!
Civilian Quintillion Messiahs
Can't save us from a handful of liars
and 314 million hamburger buyers
They're self righteous
And we like it!
Like a bully in the sandbox
Takin' all the nice rocks
Feelin' up on Goldielocks
Smokin' all the bears' pot
The have and the have nots
Never saw it coming.
So watch it from the sidelines
Caroline disintegrate to nothing!
