[00:11.890]	My rhyme ain't good just yet,
[00:13.360]	My brain and tongue just met,
[00:14.710]	And they ain't friends, so far,
[00:16.180]	My words don’t travel far,
[00:17.520]	They tangle in my hair,
[00:18.850]	And tend to go nowhere,
[00:20.190]	They grow right back inside,
[00:21.630]	Right past my brain and eyes
[00:23.430]	Into my stomach juice
[00:24.720]	Where they don’t serve much use,
[00:26.020]	No healthy calories,
[00:27.440]	Nutrition values.
[00:28.710]	And I absorb back in
[00:30.400]	The words right through my skin
[00:33.050]	They sit there festering inside my bowels
[00:34.770]	The consonants and vowels
[00:36.660]	The consequence of sounds
[00:42.760]	The consonants and vowels
[00:47.900]	The consequence of sounds
[00:58.930]	Got a soundtrack in my mind,
[00:59.910]	Kids- Screamin' from too much beat up
[00:59.980]	All the time.
[01:01.660]	And they don't even rhyme,
[01:02.760]	They just stand there, on a street corner,
[01:04.350]	Skin tucked in
[01:05.280]	And meat side out and shouting,
[01:06.650]	And I’d like to turn them down
[01:08.040]	But there ain't no knob.
[01:08.740]	Born into picket fences
[01:11.320]	Not into picket lines.
[01:12.630]	All this hippie-shit for the 60's
[01:13.820]	And another cliché for our time.
[01:15.070]	But, But a one of these days your heart
[01:16.690]	Will just stop ticking,
[01:18.580]	And they sorta just don't find you till your cubicle is reeking.
[01:20.690]	The consonants and vowels
[01:24.680]	The consequence of sounds
[01:30.590]	The consonants and vowels
[01:36.300]	The consequence of sounds
[01:42.830]	Ahh ah ah ah ahh ah ah ah
[01:59.920]	Did you know that the gravedigger's still
[02:11.020]	Gettin' stuck in the machine
[02:11.730]	Even tough it's a whole other daydream.
[02:14.090]	It's another town it's another world,
[02:16.110]	Where the kids are asleep, where the loans are paid
[02:18.800]	And the lawns are mowed.
[02:20.080]	Whad'ya think?
[02:21.510]	All the gravediggers were gone?
[02:23.240]	Just cause one song is done
[02:24.220]	There’s always another one,
[02:25.750]	Waiting right around the bend,
[02:27.210]	Till this one ends,
[02:28.490]	Then it begins
[02:30.030]	Squeaky clean and it starts all over again.
[02:31.690]	The weather report keeps on
[02:33.870]	Tossing and turning,
[02:35.110]	Predicting and warning,
[02:36.520]	And warning and warning of,
[02:38.280]	Possible leakage from news publications and,
[02:40.760]	Possible leakage from news
[02:43.140]	TV stations.
[02:44.840]	That Very same morning right next to her coffee
[02:46.740]	She noticed some bleeding and heard hollow coughing and
[02:50.510]	National Geographic was being too graphic,
[02:53.010]	When all she had wanted to know was the traffic “
[02:55.500]	The worlds got a nosebleed” it said “
[02:58.720]	And we’re flooding but we keep on cutting
[03:01.240]	The trees and the forests!”
[03:03.070]	And we keep on paying those freaks on the
[03:04.840]	TV, Who claim they will save us but want to enslave us.
[03:07.220]	And sweating like demons they scream through our speakers
[03:10.040]	But we leave the sound on 'cause silence is harder.
[03:13.490]	And no one’s the killer and no one’s the martyr
[03:16.420]	The world that has made us can no longer contain us
[03:20.090]	And prophets are silent then rotting away 'cause
[03:27.640]	The consonants and vowels
[03:33.480]	The consequence of sounds.
[03:39.230]	The consonants and vowels
[03:45.250]	The consequence of sounds.
[03:50.500]	Ah ah ah…
[04:04.830]	My rhyme ain't good just yet,
