Double Down

Can’t think back to a time when things felt so low.
Can’t think back to a time when things seemed so impossible.
I look around and corruption is all I see
I walk around and pollution is all I breathe
It all seems so dead to me
We like to think we can just turn snd walk away (ha ha)
We like to think all our problems were all fixed yesterday
And we like to believe that there’s no shame - there’s no shame
We push beliefs that we don’t have to do anything
And we’re entitled to everything
And it’s all on a stage for the world to see
To anyone who has asked themselves
“Is it me? I don’t see no one else”
They’re too busy relaxing
Nevermind if you might say something wrong
Anytime, anywhere you’ll see people laughing when they don’t understand the joke
They don’t get the joke
Just keep laughing
There’ll come a time when you think that things might change (ha ha ha)
But then you’ll realize that people will believe anything - it’s embarrassing
Just remember to take some time to think things through
Or just save yourself the time and just go home
But then they go again (*might change this line to “but then they double down”)
Redemption’s seduction is wasted
And it’s all on a stage for the world to see
It’s right there on live tv
And it’s all in the air you breathe
It’s all around Cant you see?
It’s all around cant you see?
It’s all around you can’t see

Little King

It doesn’t matter if it never happened to you anyway.
If there’s no one around to fend for your soul.
With your head in the sand you’ll testify to anything ‘cause you know just how the story goes
But never once was the question posed to ask of anyone
The fifth amendment would surely be put to use
If the truth ever leaked out it would threaten everyone - everywhere
Everyone but you
Shut it down. Turn it back around
That little king inside your head yeah its time to tear him down
If you don’t act now – you’ll be bowing down to his vitiated and boastful crown
His tyranny is all our own
Convinced ourselves we’re nothing without his throne
And we’ll never let him be shot down
With a desperate hand we’re reaching out for anyone
To give us what we want, not what we need
When the well runs dry, I’ll rush to blame anyone
Anyone but me
We gotta!
Shut it down. Turn it back around.
That little king inside our head, yeah, it’s time to tear him down
If we don’t act now – we’ll be bowing down to his vitiated and boastful crown
Oh – This insanity infects our souls
No – Ego trips will get us nowhere soon
But we’ll never let them be shut down
No we’ll never let it be shut down
No we’ll never let it be shut down
We better let em be shut down
But we’ll never let him be shot down

Punishment

Punishment - that’s what you get when you’re up against the number one contender.
We could go toe to toe
pound for pound
blow for blow
but this is class war
So don’t you claim to know my pain
when my eyes and my name you can’t remember
It’s just a matter of time before you’re tried for all your heinous crimes
This time you can’t just run and hide
Yeah, this time you gotta get right
Is god here to punish or forgive?
The preacher really couldn’t say.
He stuffed his pockets with cash, turned his back and said
“I guess we’ll just have to pray.”
It’s so sad to think of those to come - when you think of all those we left behind
We’re caged birds
We all know the words
But not one will ever sing a single line
