Lesson one’s the only one you’ll ever need You never underestimate the other person’s sense of greed Capitalism what is it to you and me It’s that feeling that you’ve been ripped off when you can’t even see They got us ripping off the poorest of the poor Got us fighting over pennies got us screaming more and more Got us picking fights that we can’t ever win While they sit around get richer with an evil f*cking grin Laughing at us losers fighting fights that we won’t ever win Money, power First we Get the money than the power Money Power Can we Help it if the taste is sour Don’t try to sell me on America the great When our founding fathers found a place and took it using hate Don’t try to lecture me on liberty and hope When liberty’s tied to a paycheck, law enforcement is a joke It’s downright tenuous, late stage society This home is feeling not so brave it’s feeling not so free It’s disingenuous, this phrase land of the free When the rich keep getting richer on the backs of you and me Money, power First we Get the money than the power Money Power Can we Help it if the taste is sour

Sunny Day 02:25
I wake up already down I’ve been mostly merely sitting around I’ve been bothered by what’s been going down On my street my neighborhood my town Sometimes I just don’t know what to say But I’m hoping for a sunny day I'm hoping for a sunny day We tell ourselves we’re brave and free But I don’t know that that’s the truth honestly There’s so much more to do for equality But we’re not trying hard enough are we? Sometimes I just don’t know what to say I’m hoping for a sunny day If you keep your head in the ground, so you can look away You’ll never see a sunny day You'll never see a sunny day

Whoa Hey can you give me some pointers? Hey can you give me some pointers, I’m drowning in dread Never been much of a joiner I’m too busy dropping rejoinders I’m joking instead I’m not giving up yet I promise, it’s gonna take skill, and some guts I’m not giving up yet I promise, no ifs and no ands, and no buts, I’m not giving up yet I promise, I’m not giving up, no matter what But this year was a kick in the nuts Lately I’m feeling too clear-eyed Lately I’m feeling too clear-eyed I hate, what I see Been bout a minute since I cried Thinking about, all my friends, died Gone, without me I’m not giving up yet I promise, it’s gonna take skill, and some guts I’m not giving up yet I promise, no ifs and no ands, and no buts, I’m not giving up yet I promise, I’m not giving up, no matter what But this year was a kick in the nuts Whoa, This year was a kick in the nuts

You, really think you’re something, special and great Self promoting always gloating always filled with hate Not one, ounce of empathy, not one, ounce of heart Talking so much to hide a shocking lack of smarts, Thought we were smart, thought we hard heart, I’m appalled Thought we were smart, we’re not so smart, A dummy building walls Small ego talking tall A phony awful president for one, not all There are allegations that you’ve grabbed and raped and leered, So many lawsuits that you’ve somehow disappeared, Taking advantage of misogyny and fear, Racism and nepotism worked to get you here Thought we were smart, thought we hard heart, I’m appalled Thought we were smart, we’re not so smart, A dummy building walls Small ego talking tall A phony asshole president for one, not all Huge Sad Tremendous Fake News Thought we were smart, thought we hard heart, I’m appalled Thought we were smart, we’re not so smart, A dummy building walls Small ego talking tall A phony asshole president for one, not all

Afraid to choose what if I lose what if I get it wrong? Afraid to choose this is not news I’ve never been too strong Afraid to choose can I refuse? I will not play along Afraid to choose I’m so confused afraid to choose so, long Oh no I guess here we go I gotta make a choice, this is always slow I wanna be, like a real hero You know just like in the movies What’s hard about making a choice About picking a first about having a voice They’re never gonna talk of my exploits, you know Just like in the movies Oh too many options so Once again I go back and forth x Oh, a privilege I know But once again I go back and forth Again Goddamn wish I had a plan I never can decide, never take a stand How do people do it on command As if just like in a movie? Panic attack, and I can’t get back And I can’t decide, and I can’t backtrack I know I’m looking like a maniac you know Just like in the movies Oh too many options so Once again I go back and forth x Oh, a privilege I know But once again I go back and forth Again Afraid to choose what if I lose what if I get it wrong? Afraid to choose this is not news I’ve never been too strong Afraid to choose can I refuse? I will not play along Afraid to choose I’m so confused afraid to choose so, long Oh too many options so Once again I go back and forth x Oh, a privilege I know But once again I go back and forth Again
