|
lights, camera, activate. activists on picket lines |
|
masochists are killing time, we're passionate and spilling rhymes |
|
filling minds with a plan so elaborate |
|
let's infiltrate this whole charade and undermine the establishment |
|
grab your seat belt, fasten it, they fascinate the inhabitants |
|
pump us full of information that they know to be inaccurate |
|
they got a moral detachment habit, so turn your back on graphic violence static |
|
support this positive movement through music or you're stagnant |
|
(nah, he's only joking). yeah, but it's not far from the truth |
|
in fact, it lives two doors down, right there in apartment # 22 |
|
so many schools of thought have been bought or knocked off kilter |
|
it only takes a platinum plaque or maybe thirty pieces of silver |
|
so who killed the family? let's blame it on the government! |
|
it's the democrats, the republicans, whatever party's running it |
|
spit something that's heartfelt or emotionally sacred |
|
can't walk these streets naked cloaked in my happy-faced hatred |
|
realize the world around me is exactly what i make it |
|
you've gotta face the music or this music leaves you faceless |
|
you've gotta face the music or this music leaves you faceless |
|
you've gotta face the music or this music leaves you faceless. |

|
now, first of all i can see from where i'm at the moat |
|
from which this castle grows. secondly, the kings inside seem |
|
content and determined to drive their people far into the moat |
|
just to see them float. i saw |
|
pain from life and relief by the knife gripped by white knuckles tight |
|
hiding deeds from the light |
|
people walking with smiles and blades coming from their back |
|
residents blindfolded with eyes painted on the front and tied tight in the back |
|
blank minds individually fulfilled with the iron fist columnist |
|
spitting chaff, trying to vale the hoard |
|
feelingless, making everyone a pacifist |
|
then there was crushing blows from all the self-titled nobles |
|
taking so much more than they're worth |
|
killing citizens as they throw them, using them |
|
last, it was the shocking melancholic acceptance that the sluggish |
|
majority applauded for, lived for, with their abusive leaders giving more |
|
i turn my face to dry heave, turn my direction to leave. |

|
well, if my name wasn't sev, i wouldn't know the cost of perfection |
|
but i recall i was called to just give out these messages |
|
wetting kids with semi-automatic pen weapons |
|
send them back to the lab second-guessing or thinking on |
|
mathematical equations, questions get asked, should they pursue |
|
pen and pad infection with no cure? i'm ill but pure, fulfill prescriptions |
|
the point man is in, lessons served up for mental treatment |
