origin to descent (2013)

who confused our economy for the blue collar comedy

they got billion dollar jokes and two dollar apologies

that right there

that's funny

smack a dummy to fix stupid

looters cash money then git 'er done

where will you hide when the revolution comes?

when the banks get ganked and you lose your funds?

when the neck that gets red from the noose that is hung

on the branch of the family tree is your sons

deadbeats walking livewires in dire times

risking life and limb to say 'that ain't no child of mine! '

while the poor kids try to call dibs from the drinking time that's all fit from vile faucets

hide the forests from guys with corporate tax cuts

they claim death is an expense even before the axe struck

i'm actually inspired to have canned goods stacked in my cupboard

half the world's on fire the other half is flooded

we let the flames build

we remind ourselves they're all dead

they're all gone

they're all killed

they're not though

and they rise from the toxins

running their marathon with no finish line in boston

we occupied empty fanfare

the waterline was rising and all we did was stand clear

every time you hear that man you cry

you run from school with teardrops in your eye

every time you hear that man you cry

you run from school with teardrops in your eye

from the origin of species to the descent of man i present this plan

come from protecting represent this land

if it fails us 'c'est la vie'

and if you feel crushed then hate on me

cause i'mma fly off the handle by the seat of my pants

hold a fire to my candle try to leave with your hands

see the dance of the flickering flame spark your interest

the answer is simple- plain dark and intent

i won't invest in reactionary kneejerks

there's chinese blood on your che guevara t-shirts

'me first! me first! ' mentality gimme gimme

every single form of government works in theory

i take your life's deeds and i put em on paper

apply equations to that shit to make me seem like your savior

til you all see- nature's a manmade wasteland

with a god that's recycled

modernized and replaced again

every time you hear that man you cry

you run from school with teardrops in your eye

every time you hear that man you cry

you run from school with teardrops in your eye

every time you hear that man you cry

you run from school with teardrops in your eye

every time you hear that man you cry

you run from school with teardrops in your eye
