Small town ignorance is buried deep within the skull Generational behavior passed on from father to son To daughter from mom Weak willed sublimation of their identity Stealing the unlimited possibilities With beer, *** and stupidity parading as the news Rich people using the confusion to abuse Factions united under bland statements of false unity Corporate art dulled down to distract me The facts you see aren’t reality But society selling insanity Vanity instead of depths Sheep instead of blazing suns This is where I came from But I know they are more than that Under that John Deer cap Is a potential surpassing their current fashion Worse than a scarlet letter Yes passion perceived the secrets we see Cut close to the essence of our being Humanity enlightened not frightened By our blazing dreams I can see what is and what might be And though the now and past pain me deeply That possibility for a better future sustains What remains of my waning sanity

Small Town Ignorance
Small town ignorance is buried deep within the skull Generational behavior passed on from father to son To daughter from mom Weak willed sublimation of their identity Stealing the unlimited possibilities With beer, *** and stupidity parading as the news Rich people using the confusion to abuse Factions united under bland statements of false unity Corporate art dulled down to distract me The facts you see aren’t reality But society selling insanity Vanity instead of depths Sheep instead of blazing suns This is where I came from But I know they are more than that Under that John Deer cap Is a potential surpassing their current fashion Worse than a scarlet letter Yes passion perceived the secrets we see Cut close to the essence of our being Humanity enlightened not frightened By our blazing dreams I can see what is and what might be And though the now and past pain me deeply That possibility for a better future sustains What remains of my waning sanity
