lyrics

Kid why don't you sit yourself down
And ask yourself why the hell you break your pen in two
Too busy to see through yourself in gloss
Well let me tell ya boss
You’re wishing on intuition to be your writer
Out of juice, no pass the lighter
Who wants to pull an all nighter
No one’s traded sleeplessness for genius up front
At least not the kind you want
I see a mad man fishing
Someone searching for vision
But you just seem in need of a little metacognition

Why you trying to be outré
When you ain't got shit to say
You see life isn't given it comes from living
Unless you’ve got another way

Kid why don't you sit yourself down
And ask yourself what the hell you looking for today
Trying to sniff the proof or sift the truth
Well let me tell ya dude
We've got questions my dear
But it’s the answers we fear
How do you think we landed here
Just read the earth dummy
There ain't enough of that and it ain't even funny
People won’t rest to trade love for sex
and mindfulness for money these days
People out for blood in the worst way
So kid what do you have to say on the dawn of Black Friday

Why you trying to be outré
When you ain't got shit to say
You see life isn't given it comes from living
Unless you’ve got another way

Why you fretting?
You’re a little man
No sense sweating
When the old shit jam
If you think what you do
Can go against hate
We’ve all been deaf since 1968
