Some days you spin the whole LP
Some days you skip to the hits
Some days you manage to outrun the bear
Most days he shreds you to bits
I think its gonna be a little time
Before I am up and at 'em again
Cuz every beating no matter how small you know
They all add up in the end
So fuck 'em if they don't care
Fuck 'em if they don't care
Fuck 'em if they don't care
They'll never let you in
When all the applications are in
And all the interviews are done
When all consultants are considered
It don't affect the motion of the sun
So write a make your own adventure novel
Where you control the rules
And don't listen when they tell you it don't matter screaming
I am a man of business, I am a man of business
Fuck 'em if they don't care
Fuck 'em if they don't care
Fuck 'em if they don't care
They'll never let you in
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
All consultants go to heaven
x forever

Never felt so
Abandoned by my words
As when it's crashing to a close
And I realize that I
Never even noticed
There was a beginning
Never know where that time goes
As it passes us
Like a fleeting phantom
Leaves us with no meaning
Will not tell us why or how
It came
So I propose a sequestration
For my future so
I can live here and now
And so I'll hang around, lie down
Until the future catches up with me
Oh yeah I'll hang around, lie down
'Til the future catches up with me
It's catching up with me
I know that you once were
Someone else's lover
Yeah I got that same story
All hearts are just
Small exquisite corpses
Drawn without considering
They artists yet to be
Still I want you to
Take your pen in hand and
Place it on my atrium
And make me your art now
You're just what I need
Because you still care
Oh man I dream of caring
Maybe you could show me how
And so I'll hang around, lie down
Until the future catches up with me
Oh yeah I'll hang around, lie down
'Til the future catches up with me
It's catching up with me
I'm already to late
Maybe I'm a product
Of this age of apathy
Yeah maybe it's too late
Still I feel that there's a
Spark deep down inside me
And you could revive me
Help me to reinstate

We exist in constant motion
We exist in constant motion
'Cuz the earth is spinning swiftly
Yeah the earth is spinning swiftly
Could you slow down just a little?
Could you slow down just a little?
Would you spin only for me now?
Oh would you spin only for me now?
Can we stop just for a moment?
Can we stop just for a moment?
Is it possible to go back?
Is it possible to go back?
I lost something in the wayside
I lost something in the wayside
And it might be worth finding
Yeah it might be worth finding
Does it really make a difference?
Does it really make a difference?
If it is or if it isn't
If it is or if it isn't
Is it possible to know me?
Is it possible to know me?
I don't understand the question
I don't understand the question
Is there ever such a moment?
Is there ever such a moment?
Where it all snaps into focus
Where it all snaps into focus
And I'm no longer afraid to
I'm no longer afraid to
Make eye contact with strangers
I make eye contact with strangers
And the crowds don't overwhelm me
The crowds don't overwhelm me
And I run just for the feeling
Yeah I run just for the feeling
Until then I'll sit and wonder
Until then I'll sit and wonder
Where is my perfect body?
Oh where's my perfect body?
Oh do I even realize?
Do I even realize?
When I smile and when I fake it
When I smile and when I fake it
And are we all so different?
Are we all so different?
Just different in the same way
Just different in the same way
Sometimes I don't even check if the light's green, I just go when the car in front of me does
Was I born to live, was I born to die?
Or was I born to spend, was I born to buy?
Was I born to sell, in search of some prize?
Was I born to live, was I born to buy?
Here's to:
Penthouse, timeshare
Drone strike, warfare
Smart phone, tablet
Medical bills, student debt,
Fast food, strip malls
Monitored phone calls
Buy one get one free
Border walls, deportees
Sports car, horse race
Where to put toxic waste
Tabloid, game show
Male gaze, porno
Business trip, first class
Never running out of gas
Binge watch, short sale
Private prison, no bail
Born to live, born to buy x7
Born to buy, born to buy
Do you wanna buy in?

When I Still Believed
03:59
|

I'm searching for a way back
To when I thought there was an answer
When I thought there was a rhyme and a reason
And a way that I could be
But I'm stuck on the question
That keeps me up into the wee hours
How am I supposed to know
When its time for me to breathe
And I know it's gonna take some time
To get back into the rhythm
And I know it's gonna take some time
'Til I feel free
So I will just sit and dream of when I believed
Could you be the one to tell me
When to run and where to turn to
Don't you know that I will let you lie to me
Just say anything at all
I need something I can cling to
I'm about to enter free fall
They're cutting off my puppet strings and
Expect me to stand tall
And I know it's gonna take some time
To get back into the rhythm
And I know it's gonna take some time
'Til I feel free
So I will just sit and dream of when I believed
Well I looked outside and it was switchblades out
And so I locked the door and shut the blinds
I need someone to show me a clear path to safety
And if you lead I'll be right behind
I know it's gonna take a little time
I'm not asking you to carry me, I just need a little peace of mind
I know it's gonna take a little time but
Would you take it with me?
Oh I know it's gonna take some time
To get back into the rhythm
And I know it's gonna take some time
'Til I feel free
So I will just sit and dream of when I believed
Oh I wanna believe
And I wanna believe
And I wanna believe
I just wanna believe
In something
Ok
