Will I ever have a home to call my own?
A home to call my own?
Call my own.
My own.
Home.

I just want a home that I can call my own,
Doesn’t have to be grand or lots of land,
Im fine with the quaint and some peeling paint,
If that’s what it has to be, at least someone heard my plea.

I can’t see through the darkness in front of me,
See darkness in front of me,
In front of me,
Hear my plea,
From me.

I’m just another human begging for revolution,
Caught in a landslide and there’s nowhere to hide,
How am I to hope if I don’t have a rope,
What’s left for us in this unjust land of ours?

Will I ever have a home to call my own?
A home to call my own?
Call my own.
My own.
Home.

Standing at the edge of town,
At the gas station in the dark,
Fields of grain extending out,
Farther than my vision can reach,
Distant foggy haze's all I discern,
Lights all off in the market,
Feeling the cold wash over,
I'm alone in the northwest.

The hope disappears into the blue,
Distant mountains shadowed in time,
Deer peer through whispering wheat,
Beckoning, inviting me to disappear.

Standing at the edge of a valley,
Rolling through the dark forest,
Slopes of foggy trees careen,
Farther than my vision can reach,
Wavering pines call quietly,
Echo reverberating in between,
The cold wind addresses it,
I know, I'm alone in the northwest.

The hope disappears into the blue,
Distant mountains shadowed in time,
Deer peer through whispering wheat,
Beckoning, inviting me to disappear.

This is what happens,
What happens to a country,
When the opposition is stamped,
And the institutions have *** with racist sentiments.
That *** must be good if our rights,
The rights of the minorities are tradable.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED,

I cannot confine this rage,
We're so liberalized,
Standing in line to die,
Like sheep into the slaughterhouse.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED,

What do you think you could do?
Well I think I could break a few windows,
Apple, Starbucks, Meta, Microsoft,
Run into the streets screaming, "**** THE RICH"
But you won't cause it's out of order.

LAW AND ORDER.
TO THE BONE,
LAW AND ORDER,
UNTIL YOU DROP,
LAW AND ORDER,
GET ARRESTED.

WE LOVE,

WE ****,

WE LOVE,

WE ****,

LAW AND ORDER.

Fight this ingrown nail,
Sinking into congressional flesh,
Infected to the bone,
America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America the free,
Oh baby!
America the free,
My lady!
Well maybe,
We're crazy,
Oh baby!
America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie.

There will come a time,
You'll realize the nail,
That is still ingrown,
Has cut a divide,
Between the ultra-rich,
And the ***** low class.
Maybe then, you'll begin,
Begin to think: America,
The free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie,

America, the free for the bourgeoisie.
We'll find an avenue to educate.

The more I stare,
The more I hate,
The more I hate,
The more I dare.
I don't even care.

I asked for rare,
Raw at the last layer,
Nothing is ever fair,
Do I even care?

The more I stare,
The more I care,
The more I care,
The more Im aware.
Why do I care?

Fall from the stars,
Run over by cars,
Laid in front yards,
Pointing out Mars,
Held him in my arms.

The more I stare,
The more I hurt,
The more I hurt,
The more Im unfair.
I hate that I care.

My fingers itch to write,
Twitch to find a type,
It's the only light,
Burning till the end of the night.

What's a doubt,
Without burnout,
That's enough,
I'll call the bluff.

Resting upon a ledge,
Legs hang over the edge,
And I will cling on,
This ****** I've been on.

What's a doubt,
Without burnout,
That's enough,
I'll call the bluff.

Never felt this good,
Tastes like maple wood,
Tense, thinking it'll rot,
But it's all that I've got.

Pinpoint the subsurface crack,
Stare until my vision goes black.

We must be complete maniacs,
Eating our own dental plaque.

Here's a toast to the next generation,
They'll solve what's wrong with the nation.

Survived our own cremation,
But will we survive damnation?

Teeth rotting out of our mouth,
Won't let the dentist into the house.

Ignore all of the deep seated doubt,
Despite pain that screams so loud.

What's the solution for this?
We'd rather live in ignorant bliss.

Obey the laws, stay off the lists,
There's a crushing boot we'd rather kiss.

The leather taste masks the decay,
Step out of line and we will all pay.

Stare horrified at the widening gaps,
Watch our leaders take lazy laps.

As we stand and ignore the collapse,
Instead we rip apart the lower class.

Using dental tools to pretend,
We get it and we comprehend.

How we have come to descend,
Yet still, we're unable to amend.

The rich stand inside golden gates,
Pointing their fingers at the baits.

Watching us fixate on our tails and give chase,
By the time we're broken down, it's too late.

By now, it's too late,
We'll watch and meet our fate,
The tooth decay much too great,
Gave in to the ouroboros of hate.
Liberalism, its pursuit of keeping institutional order, no upsetting the status quo, and most of all; let the rich get richer.
