Lyrics

[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,
[04:18.260] My brain and tongue just met,
[04:18.890] And they aint friends, so far,
[04:20.560] My words don't travel far,
[04:21.710] They tangle in my hair,
[04:23.070] And tend to go nowhere,
[04:24.250] They grow right back inside,
[04:26.230] Right past my brain and eyes
[04:27.860] Into my stomach juice
[04:29.770] Where they don't serve much use,
[04:29.890] No healthy calories, Nutrition values.
[04:32.340] And I absorb back in
[04:34.380] The words right through my skin
[04:39.800] They sit there festering inside my bowels
[04:45.480] The consonants and vowels
[04:47.350] The consequence of sounds
[04:50.660] The consonants and vowels
[04:53.630] The consequence of sounds
