Lyrics

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! I ain't here to clear a path I came to clog it up with corpses. And I'm gathering this money but it's not working! And I'm traveling this country 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! I came to clear a path 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 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! I ain't here to clear a path I came to clog it up with corpses. And I'm gathering this money but it's not working! And I'm traveling this country 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! I came to clear a path but it's not working! I do run away (medicine) But it's not working Try to run away (medicine) But it's not working I do run away (medicine) But it's not working Try to run away (medicine) But it's not working Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt Figured it out, I'm never getting rid of this doubt
