we sell songs of sadness
for 200k a pop
money can’t buy you happiness
but sorrow could buy you a lot

I grew up believing
America was top tier
I thanked my lucky stars
to be brought up here

What was I saw as free
was just an illusion
Bigotry floods the streets
my heart sunk in confusion

I long for those younger days
while I wish I were Swiss
for I know now
ignorance is bliss

time is a man made construct
yet here I am
in the age of snapchat and iron man
the dinosaurs are long gone
the plague has left us too
the warfare of north and south
is all in the rear view
we’ve flown past the moon
and left the braids behind
if I had a bluetooth time machine
what else might I find?

4 plus 3 equals 8
1 times 1 is 2
because if you and me are false
then I don’t know what’s true

before the world burned
cities vanished
water rose
and the air became too thick to breathe
it was a nice place
but to most  
not nice enough to fight for

even if you dance weird
dance like no ones watching
because if they are
they’re the weird one

fastest is not always best
sometimes speed can be illegal
slower can be good
you won’t care about your schedule
with a dent in your hood
