about
A song about greed/green and it's attraction/danger.
lyrics
Shaded Green
Jaded speech
Is easy as 1 2 3
When you eat greed
Salvage some decency
Just give it back
Or else you’ll be
Tyler Nelson:
I do what I can, with the dream in my hand
Even if the resulting action is insulting to me
At least, it was prioritized
In a manner focused to civilize and hush with gloves of love the shoves
If only the inadequate information wasn’t so apparently plaguing
Dismantle it from the pedestal, it’s our choice to carry it with or let it go
From the quota it’d wish to hold us to
No us two, no wait, it’s us too, who sees through
The ups and down, ins and outs, hots and colds
Smiles and frowns
And the bumps in the road, that we wanna control
But then get whoad when they do not go
The way we perceived
Easily up on our knees
Easily giving up
And easily leaving this life a tad bit too early
I don’t prescribe to that pill as often as the ones who can’t hear me do, or did
Live on, live on, there’s presence in the future, a new worth
And it won’t be a derivative of that damn printed paper.
BeSoReal:
Why you hating on a prius while your jaded by the preachers
overpaying congressman
shooting underfunded teachers
their outsourcing shade from trees while counting shades of green
at least the green im blazing on aint keeping me from dreaming
we jump one meme to another passing bullets between brothers
get our skulls cracked on the pavement from the pain learned from each other
the archetype of the words i write stems from pharaohs and emperors
mother culture tries to stomp it out but dont worry the ember the burns
so check the flight we've learned from birds
i'll help you resurrect the earth
the sheeple in line still waiting their turn
need to be freed from the herd
ya heard that?
its time to get on some peta shit
upgrade your beta disk
swim upstream and take a risk
we've made it this far
lets get farther for our kids
and for our grandkids
anything can be rebuilt if it gets damaged
except this planet, it's in your hands
Far, far too long we've been held down.
