lyrics

green to the earth to the al
shall we shine? we surely shall
How dare you sir
I am the KING of the nerds
weilding the nerdtastic arts
since the days of the Bonaparts
I aspire to being a hot mess but I confess, I'm just a regular mess
I guess
another day another sardonic comment for my facebook feed
before I log off and don't read
take delight in the seeds you sew but don't oversew your field
overgrowth won't lead to extra yield
I heard it through the face vine
our faceworld could loose its facetime
New Delhi is now an ash tray
the oceans are an acid bath
the mountain is in the valley
and the stream is strewn with trash
it's not my job to provide you any hope my dear
my job is to leave the planet better for my having been here


capitalism's got plans for you
I've seen the screen they got for you to plug into
make the state take the place of your parents
use a whole population for reuptake inhibitor experiments
depression
is the appropriate response to omnipresent oppression
today, everything around takes too much time
our blogs are just out there, dead on the vine
can't take time at the store, cooking is a chore
I don't have enough time to filter out all the things I don't have time for any more
It's like every single day we fail to win the lottery.
excuse me tonight aight I got to go pottery
like it's 1991
rage against the system / start a revolution
we Do need to slash spending, but that ain't nothin new
Ross Perot tried to tell you that in 1992
they only ever give us data in drips every 10 years
but there's a constant flood of empty input for our eyes, mouths and ears


There's no way I can make us see the awesome beauty of black skin
in this wicked mixed up culture that we're in
skin bigotry's sub cutaneous it bores into your mind
and now our shared humanity is hella hard to find
so big up to any pale people out there who are still determined to care
living lives based on love not fear
big up to big actions six digit subtraction
big up to building bridges trans factions
we can't do something until we believe we can do something
we can't believe we can do something till we see someone do something
so get on up and do SOMETHING however symbolic or small
level up do something bigger another brick in the wall
we could use some education without thought control
when we bring soul in the hole some rocks are gonna roll
shouts out to any men out there who still know how to care
living lives based on love and not fear
Rebeliyellin all the youth showing up to seize power
it ain't over yet this world could still flower
peace to any people of privilege using their privelige to advocate
lets make Earth great again before it's too late


peace & love & tolerance & justice
My Rap Name is Alex and I fully approve of this message.
All of it. I worked hard on it.
