When yoke becomes green, I'm out
The foxtrot is nonstop overhead
To the east weed spots, to the west
Rich white heads whose one-way streets point my way
Accusingly, like they got something more to do with me
And why would I front? The evidence is obvious
And I'm the presence seeing as it's carried in my body
And instead of making peace with my culture's obsolescence
I've come to you for sympathy, convince me that I'm necessary!
An appropriate sentence, this aimless rootlessness
Trying to find a loop through the world's painful ruthlessness
Where does it go? All the time and work I do for this
A momentary diversion for similarly foolish kids
The truth is I'm blessed it pays the bills every month
But still I stress: my voice won't do what I want (wow)
The doubt pushes me forward and laughs simultaneous
The pursuit that keeps me moving is both endless and nameless
Traveling this country but it's not working!
And I'm gathering this money but it's not working!
And my friends look at me funny they say it's not working!
I ain't here to clear a path I came to clog it up with corpses.
And I'm traveling this country but it's not working!
And I'm gathering this money but it's not working!
And my moms says 'proud of me' but it's not working!

It's not working, it's not working...
I'm thankful I swear I don't want to complain
But it's not adding up to put upon the scales I weigh here
And a familiar observer leaving places with traces
Of evidence for crimes I've committed only vaguely
I'm not saying 'stand under, deal with it"s OK
It's cliche and I wouldn't put it in my veins but I understand
Towards war, for every slightly beneficial perk
There's a shadow that pulls at you from the center of the earth
Cast beneath the travel and is dismal
The intentional fuck-wit,
Scene changes but you don't escape the prison
And the grave don't fade, it multiplies exponential
While you try to mitigate: kissing girls, accepting chemicals
These medicals extend the wait at every destination
Handing you the implements of your impending annihilation.
I do run away (medicine)
Try to run away (medicine) But it's not working
I do run away (medicine)
Try to run away
