Something You Should Know About Me
Offer me eternity, and I'll trade a cup of coffee and a time,
Looking for a handout on behalf of those who have so little time,
But who wants to live on just 70 cents a day?
Padding your pockets doesn't make this a better place,
'Cereal and water' is a feast for some you say,
Your price-tag on existence can't cover your double face,
Quality or quantity (x3) a choice you have to make,
Dipping in the icing, bringing home the largest turkey from the field,
Breaking all the piggy banks, scooping up the booty,
licking all the right holes, bolstering the payroll,
Why reduce life to a dollar amount per day?
And why let the world think this is the American way?
Your uneaten greens are a feast for some you say,
Survival and living are concepts you can't equate,
Quality or quantity (x3) don't tell me they're the same,
Quality or quantity (x3) a choice you have to make,I had a friend, who kept a candle in his pocket,
He used to touch it when the wind was blowing high,
I guess it mad him feel like he could buck the system
And when it flickered out we laid him down to die,
Turn on the light,
Turn on a million blinding brilliant white
Incendiary lights,
A beacon in the night,
I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry,
I'll construct a rock of tempered beams and trusses
And equip it with a million tiny suns,
I'll install upon the roof on my compartment
And place tinfoil on my floor and on my walls
Turn on the light,
Turn on a million blinding brilliant white
Incendiary lights,
A beacon in the night,
I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry,
And I'll burn like a roman fucking
Candle, like a chasm in the night, for a miniscule duration,
Ecstatic immolation, incorrigible delightI can't believe it,
The way you look sometimes,
Like a trampled flag on a city street.
Oh yeah.
And i don't want it,
The things you're offering me, symbolized bar code, quick i.d.
Oh yeah.
Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys.
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual.
Ain't life a mystery?
I can't explain it,
the things they're saying to me,
it's going yayayayayayaya,
oh yeah.
Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys.
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual.
Ain't life a mystery?
I tried to tell you about no control,
but now i really don't
know,
and then you told me how bad you had to suffer,
is that really all you have to offer?
See I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys.
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual,
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual.
Cat's foot iron Claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
Innocence raped with naplam fire
everything i want i really don't need
