lyrics

V1
The truth is the righteous man don’t exist,
I run with Jules of Wisdom con Vince(‘d) this is simply just the way it is,
Cuz it was us who started up this storm.
We seem to finger focal points external damned
cuz “we don’t cause harm, no we argue over why the caged bird sings!”
But fuck that, we ain’t settin’ the caged bird free,
“It looks like somebody here’s got a case of the Mondays,”
Fuck this shit man, I need a cigarette!
Are you addicted yet?
I need porn, I need speed, I need the tube, I need a drink,
I need MORE! I’M SO FREE!
But really who’s to blame but me?
--and who’s to blame but US?--
When these families eat their children just to save a couple bucks?
And as long as the barista gets the coffee order perfect,
We won’t trip over shit that don’t affect us in person.
Nah, we’ll drink these rivers dry,
and if our thirst does not diminish,
We’ll just find another motherfuckin’ planet when we’re finished.

Hook:
There’s a storm going on outside no man escapes from,
And most are so complacent they won’t turn around and face it
And they they tell us that the limit is the sky,
As we barrel toward the point of no return,
Past the event horizon.

V2
I hope you know the road to Hell is paved with legislation,
Cuz it ain’t murder if it’s legal and it furthers our agendas.
Intrinsic volition has driven missing any vision from the human condition--
Except the naked ape’s greed.
Mal-intent’s impetus, that’s a common seed,
And now it blooms to manifest this reality surrounding me,
And yeah we all get rained on (stupid),
The definition’s pretty clear when trickle down is our official position, but yo
One glass of whiskey ain’t enough,
Cuz fuck it, if my family rob me of my dosh then I’d rather be drunk.
“Best believe I’ll confront a holy brother over shit we both
don’t really need cuz I’m a cold motherfucker!”
I gotta get the hell off this rock,
Cuz the atmosphere we breath has become an industrial fart,
But the problem is: I can’t afford a spaceship,
While the powerful that rape the world will be the first to escape it.

Hook

V3
“I see an end to this world in sight, so buckle up,
Cuz we’re headed to the stars to see what we might rustle up--
Yo this is big business boy, this is many money--
I mean I swing my blade for God, and am bestowed divine luxury! Yes!
And if they bleed in His name that’s a victory!
I’ll do what I see fit with this land that God hath given me!
I believe in what I want and I put the BIG in bigotry!
Fish don’t have feelings so the serfs were meant for misery!
And yeah, I see the forest for its resources,
You see me tend to my sheep, but I’m a wolf in shepherd’s clothing,
But that’s how it goes, it’s a glorious role
For us first-world, rich, straight, white males, cuz oh!
The Eye of Jupiter is my creation--
A strip-mining Frankenstein that runs industrial nations--
I give a shit how I get all the bounty in my grip,
Cuz everybody fuckin’ dies, but I deserve to die rich!”

Hook
