lyrics

People say,
“Give me a set path.
Give me a way.
To avoid the hard times.
To side step the blues.”
You can make green but to paint that portrait you need other hues,
or in the end you’ll have a painting fit for an audience of raccoons.

(I’m) not saying it can’t make you happy,
working all day to have the world at your fingertips,
if you can make the time for it,
but me I don’t have the time to live that 9-5,
or survive my graveyard grind without some food for my hungry mind.
I can’t be spending my days
trying to make a living (wage).
Waging war on the rent.
Trying to make a dent
in what was spent
just to prevent minimum wage,

“Get a job. Make yourself a living. Make yourself. Living is not something to enjoy. Smiles are for the boys. Smiles are for boys. The weight of what you owe will break your mother’s back, like the cracks in the pavement. Make the time to make rent, but this city is not cheap, so eat your eggs and your beans, and just sit and read by your smoldering degree hoping to see. But is it better to see clearly or be able to buy glasses? Just follow the masses. Just follow the masses. Just follow the masses. Slaughter the anomalies until everyone matches. Until everyone matches.”



No room for squatters.
Not fit to date daughters.
With no stable dollars.
With less-than-white collars.
Why bother?
