im not gonna rap fast i want you to understand what im saying in fact i'm going to go real slow you know so you can follow bred to be slaves everyday is engraved every step you take on the roads they paved upon the land they stole back in the day everything you touch and taste is fake i feel displaced much to my dismay i've developed a hyper sensitivity to everything i hear and see too much anxiety i want to blast off into another fucking galaxy we're not humans a genetic mutation full of excuses it's pointless its useless when you sleep at night if you feel safe then they've fooled you twice into feeling sane cos' this shit aint right we live in a system in which you are not truly free every system glitches eventually it's only a matter of time fuck wall street occupy your god damn mind you've got no right to be enraged when you're the one that pays to be in this cage you like to be punished and misbehave you enjoy these chains its the only way i can explain humans love misery what else could it possibly be why else would we allow such ridiculously it's a puzzle to me and everyday i lose another fucking piece i gotta get out get out get out get out i'm in the belly of the beast get out get out get out get out you're in the belly of the beast get out get out get out get out we're in the belly of the beast we're in the belly of the beast we're in the belly of the beast your fears are genetically amplified soon your tears will be genetically modified your ass is genetically sodomized where your life goes where does your life go

the knowledge you seek is inside you it's like you're chasing your tail when its right behind you dragging yourself through the mud like tyler durden would do acting like you've got a fucking clue unaware the only one you're hurting is you ooh child if you only knew and thats what i would tell my younger self if i could go back and replay the cards that were dealt but im here now and i really shouldn't dwell oh well still clueless roaming the streets aimless like a zombie i rage shameless still clueless roaming the streets aimless like a zombie i rage shameless so shameleeeess now i'm almost thirty and i almost know how to act when drinking i cut back on jim and jack now that im older hang overs really kick my ass and being sober doesn't seem so wack priorities change its not so fast track in fact everything more relaxed who knew it's harder to fuck up when you think through what you do just think about that just think about that still clueless roaming the streets aimless like a zombie i rage shameless so shameless still clueless roaming the streets aimless like a zombie i rage shameless so shameless still clueless roaming the streets aimless like zombies we rage shameleeeeeeess

Consequences 03:09
It was a regular day just like another day she got up went about her business just like yesterday but little did she know the consequences she faced would never let go she drank she drank with friends she drank until she couldn't see straight they laughed they had a blast it was the best time of their lives but little did they know it'd be the last time they'd have the best time of their lives cos sometimes the shit you decide takes other peoples lives she was driving they were laughing she took the red light BOOM big-fucking-bada boom she took the red light little did they know it'd be the last time they'd have the best time of their lives when she got up this morning i doubt she knew she'd take out her whole crew and a family of three with a baby to be what a tragedy little did they know it'd be the last time they'd have the best time of their lives but she survived yes she stayed alive caught in a landslide caught in a landslide now she sits she just sits in a jail cell just thinking about that last time she had the best time of her life so the next time you want to drink and drive remember its not just your life on the line everything you do effects everyone around you

doesn't matter the race doesn't matter the sexuality at the end of the day we're human so why the inhumanity i dream of a world in perfect harmony i know its a possibility it really sickens me how hateful humans can be why anyone would choose hate over love is beyond me why cant we leave the savagery with our ancestry learn from their mistakes how many more centuries must it take no matter how hopeless it seems i'll never lose faith never lose faith cos we will rise up in harmony we will reclaim victory one day humans will regain their humanity humanity repeat after me violence is not a necessity money can not buy everything we're all leaves falling from the same tree at war with ourselves since the beginning i guess you really are your own worst enemy oh humanity you really are your own worst enemy you really are your own worst enemy you really are your own worst enemy you really are your own worst enemy oh humanity why cant you see the irony in being your own worst enemy

did you know with drones now we can fight these wars from the comfort of our own home they target teens make it like a video game only the killing is not fake soldiers don't even have to be on site to take out the enemy they can go home to their family every night isn't that something isn't that something all this protection isn't from enemies in other countries i guarantee its from us for when we finally bring the uprising for when we finally bring the uprising bring the uprising cos some of us just don't learn until we get burned until we've sealed our fate until its too late some of us just don't learn until we get burned until its too late until we've sealed our fate but it doesn't have to be that way and i don't care if this sounds lame just open your eyes we're living a lie they've rendered us blind and i know it seems like the end is near all the time and bps greed and stupidity has ruined the sea and i know it seems like we're always on the brink of nuclear tragedy but in times like these in times like these just open your eyes come together and realize we're the own creators of our demise just open your eyes open your eyes
