1. Not for You
You're the perfect
You're the great
You're the humble
You're the saint
We've been lyin’ here
And we've been sheddin’ tears
You're the sun, you're the sun
We'll revolve around the one
Ordained by those in charge
We see you sitting large
God exists when I call
Take what you want from all
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
It's a lock on the box
There's a bar on the door
Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
God forbid we live, Can’t afford to die
All we have to give, No way to deny
My eternal gift , Burning in my eyes
All my thoughts adrift, Listen only lies
It's a scam it's a sham
Use a shell for a spell
Use who I can trust
Makin’ dollar boom or bust
See my lawyer for the why
Reframe it
Then game it
Then charge you interest
In the name of
God exists when I call
Take what you want from all
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
It's a lock on the box
There's a bar on the door
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
No apologies, Can’t apologize, Easy to believe, No way to disguise
All that you receive, Tears the angels cry, Stricken with disease, All that you despise
Burning in my brain, kill the beast inside, in this life of pain, suffer from your pride
Gluttony and greed, All you can desire, Everything you need, then we all expire
Red and blue states in a black and white world pay attention what you see is what you get
The image of accomplishment is just an illusion urban quicksand never ending debt
The resurrection of monoliths, where used to stand projects all familiar faces are gone
Now there's paper millionaires looking like I don't belong in the city I was born this is wrong
God exists when I call
He told me yesterday
Take what you want from all
I'm busy anyway
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you it's not
It's a lock on the box
It's what our parents prayed for
There's a bar on the door
We won't allow it anymore
Back down and out of sight
Cause this American dream
Is not for you, it's not
No apologies, Can’t apologize, Easy to believe, No way to disguise
All that you receive, Tears the angels cry, Stricken with disease, All that you despise
Burning in my brain, kill the beast inside, in this life of pain, suffer from your pride
Gluttony and greed, All you can desire, Everything you need, then we all expire
2. What Are We Coming To
Witnesses hypnotized, mental vacation, on coming back paralyzed
Media prophesize, blankets of old lies, lobotomize
Ubiquit-assimilate, altered status on visual stimulate
Activate hate, triggered by the state, manipulate
World what are we coming to, fuck are we gonna do
Fear of the truth in the light, right in front of you, front of you
Homelessness and mental illness are at an all-time high, It’s everywhere
While deep pocketed politicians claim to change emissions, yeah right
Promises promises, but they never follow through like I thought
Does my vote really count, what are we gonna do, you tell me
Perversions of quality, speak to the masses, dreams of equality, illusion of scarcity
Security heresy, just a parody
Divided and demonized, indoctrinate, education is socializing
Now you may realize, blind eyes criminalizing
World what are we coming to, fuck are we gonna do
Fear of the truth in the light, right in front of you, front of you
This is what’s happening, caught in a trap again
Bank enforced terror, and paid politician
Trying not to suffocate between a pandemic and the followers of a deranged puppet
I can’t breathe
Cause and effect, you try and they reject, and I’m this close to saying fuck it
Fuck this shit, but what are we gonna do
You tell me
Socially engineered, opinions and fears, individual disappears
Nobody volunteered, cognitive dissonance persevered
Transhuman technocracy, empiricism, epistemic autocracy
Fuck aristocracy, mental slavery, kakistocracy
World what are we coming to, fuck are we gonna do
Fear of the truth in the light, right in front of you, front of you, what is it
3. The Love of Money
How many times can I tell you, how many ways can I say
It's anybody’s guess why I’m so restless anyway
How often will I be there, how often you are away
Only little bit of time entwined every day
They dare not whisper in her ears, given a taste she disappears
To her I’ll always be in debt, they dare not whisper in their death
No condemnation of her, the goddamned nature of her
How many lives we are together, how many times we make mistakes
Feel everybody’s pain, while you still maintain every day
Whenever I feel you burning, whenever I hear you say
Leave everything to chance circumstance and the game
They dare not whisper in her ears, given a taste she disappears
To her I’ll always be in debt, they dare not whisper in their death
No condemnation of her, the goddamned nature of her
I only want to be with you, always oh Money my love
There’s nobody left that can express me to death draining blood
Money love my soul salvation, in the world we go anyplace
Try to understand, close at hand, packed suitcase
They dare not whisper in her ears, given a taste she disappears
To her I’ll always be in debt, they dare not whisper in their death
No condemnation of her, the goddamned nature of her
4. The Baroness
Imbedded in wax and drained
Fever and Scandalize
And the Divas who leave us behind
We give our hearts and we live again
And the black and white and tender paste and prime
And the soft warm tube of kindness
And the Baroness laughed and passed across her last intention
Feather touch of intervention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention
White naked comes in them, they are given people
I won’t tell your secret, No I won’t tell your secret
And the high-tension wires run right alongside of it
And the faces on film and grain and traces wind up and slowly away
And the Baroness laughed and passed across her last intention
Feather touch of intervention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention
And it turns it’s head and shakes and spits
Empress of human kindness turned in and on
And the closed in reach out their arms and grasp
For the plastic coated rip-cord cable
To entertain the main attraction and explain
Her accidental complication from the fear of separation
Lacerations and incisions, fabricational indecisions and the visions
And the Baroness laughed and passed across her last intenJon
Feather touch of intervention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention
