The Barely Care Czar

You had the devotion, you said all the names
You drowned in the ocean, you burned in the flames
You slipped on the question and fell on the floor
You chewed up the answer and savored the gore
Pinning you down to the earth
That’s what your power was worth
Slowing you down to a crawl
Til you care about nothing, nothing at all
You swallowed the pills and you embalmed the day
The people around you, they all went away
You poisoned your dreams and you choked on the bone
The shadows of hope have all left you alone

Pop Goes The Vessel

Take another trip for the kicks
Looking for the loving of the lunatics
Crazy on the train and it’s off the rails
Cause you need a little wind back in your sails
Pop goes the vessel and the vessel goes pop
And the sideways view gets seen from the top
And the middle of the page gets cut
As you listen to the door of the cage get shut
Nothing to say
Fading away
Reveal the joke
Feel the stroke
Back to the middle of the fun
And now it’s time for another home run
And this one’s just for the best of the bunch
Oh oh, looks like a little too much
Doesn’t aways take you clean
And you’re left in a babbling state between between
Stuck in a cage that’s made of smoke
And fade to black and choke

Lies, lies, right between the eyes
Can I get a witness, here among the witless
Anyway, look them in the tooth veneer
They dribble out the cult of fear
And the sound of the megaphone pops and they suckle it up
And the whole thing’s yours if you knuckle it up
For the march of the lockstep drum
And they sell it to the blind and the deaf and the dumb
And they listen to the hack of the mass societal voice
While the CEO’s of the banks rejoice
Take heed of the bell that’s ringing in the town
As the almighty pucker of the man looks down
While the doomsday clock ticks on
The checks all bounced and the money’s all gone
Taken by the con man
Time for the match and the gas can
The world is a pyre
Ruled by the liars
Truth is now a memory
Deal of the century
Now become a thief and a whore
The autopsy ambulance waits at the door
Tragedy rides on the downtown line
While liberty dies on the vine, killed by the lies
Of the rich getting rich on the elevator pitch
For the silicon don with the buttonhole stitch
On the emperor’s new gear, did you hear that
The gang’s all here and it’s clear that the end is near
And they peel back layers of attack
While the face in the front pays triple to the back
And the idiots march to the beat of the drum
Of the almighty dollars and the fife of the
Dumdum bullets for the people in the street
As the kid with the gun sets targets in a tweet
For the checkmark status of the point oh one
And the race is run

One Or The Other
05:18
|

Aerosol the city on the hill
Ignore the fear and look the other way
Eat the bread and drink the red until
The time is here to leave without delay
Live within the darkness out of sight
Do you find amusement in the game?
Blinded and indifferent to the plight
You will find it’s all just the same
One or the other
Everything’s fucked
One or the other
Self destruct
Now it’s moving deeper underground
Make them think that help is on the way
Turn it up and listen to the sound
Nothing in the plan will save the day
Do you love the one that equals X?
Do you love the one that equals Y?
Choose the one and get the empty set
The other one will get the burning sky
