We're living in a joke time, metaphorical coke time
|
Commerce and guru men run the whole world, man
|
Drunken debauchery, old world brutality
|
Cold world kills softly, whole world runs savagely
|
Reading into prior things, program TV screens
|
Quick scam and drag queens, real likely to blast fiends
|
Think twice and past dreams, crime if you ask clean
|
Quick fast for poison has entered the blood stream
|
Psychological master, consequences of tragedy
|
Mythological characters, men and women is parody
|
Superficial the vanity, borderline the insanity
|
Out of order humanity, crime committed so passively
|
Desperados and casualties, corporations want batteries
|
Explanations of strategies, domination and mastery
|
Own zones and the bankrupt grown, people so corrupt
|
Vice lords and yellow men, junkies and popularity
|
Culture so independent, vultures scavenge reality
|
Past, feel the depravity, decaying social cavity
|
Preying on human ignorance, popular immorality
|
Sympathy, diseased head, population misled
|
Self-indulgent past dead, absence of the God head
|
Pimps, pushers and harlotry, nepotism, no artistry
|
Despotism and privacy, desperation, dishonesty
|
Physicist is your policy, more money, lesser equality
|
Inflated global ego, imitating reality
|
Fuel cycle pharaoh, poisonous poison arrows
|
Hypocritical on salary, idle hands that was agency
|
Predisposed to complacency, jealousy, audacity
|
Contagious social gluttony, stages of mass malignancy
|
Effort to make conception, generation in atrophy
|
Glam life in debt, scam life in editors
|
Byproducts of neglect, children hiding from creditors
|
Absence of self-respect, fully scared of competitors
|
Lifestyle of luxury at someone's expense
|
Sensitive children, used up and sacrificed
|
Blind to the consequence, smoked up on dope pipes
|
Ecstasy, fast life, recklessly past life
|
Narcotics and cash fight in this neurotic society
|
Benefactors turned actors, addictions triple captors
|
Experience manufactures in this neurotic toxic society
|
|
It's like post-war, they looking for the commenters or who the marks is
|
Ten thousand pictures on Facebook, it's like the pot calling the kettle narcissist
|
Come on really, saying the devil, but you're the chief arsonist
|
Hypocrites can't even see their own part in it
|
No reflection, vampire paradigm, no introspection, it's star that, star grass
|
It's a break down
|
Three months before pure obsession, picture can't take down
|
Children, this a shake down, they just looking for a sacrifice
|
They been doing this since before Bobby Darin sang Mack the Knife
|
Before James Dean's car did a jack knife
|
Perhaps it's because they lack life or lack guts
|
Never confuse the head with the butt
|
Opinions are like assholes and most of 'em stink
|
I was told by a woman, so rethink, don't ever let them ever lead you to drink
|
Leave you to doubt, lead you to fall
|
Get up, stand us, pass Lucifer out
|
Shake it up baby, watch them twist it and shout
|
Insecure assholes looking for a ticket
|
To ride on somebody like the picket, it's fucking wicked, shame on 'em
|
This neurotic toxic society
|
|
Sick cycle psychology in desperate need of psychiatry
|
Exorcism, sobriety, forcing social lobotomies
|
People stuck in dichotomies, pseudo-sicko anxieties
|
Serial criminals dressed in variety
|
Social transvestism, subliminal dressed up as piety
|
Transforms projections like Cartesian images
|
Robbing innocence, stealing inheritance
|
Quiet victims with no defense portrayed over dollars and cents
|
Maladjusted ignorant malediction and dissonance
|
Too much addiction, no consciousness
|
Don't trust it, this cosmology is busted
|
Broken returns to the dusted, stems of corruption
|
Oppression, deceit, abuse and repeat
|
They don't feel complete unless they're robbing the sheep
|
Man is not a product, if you call it that, then stop it
|
In this neurotic, godless society
|
