Lyrics
I sweared you’d never dare to kick it
That you really really really didn’t care enough to nix it
A cynical view of the common crowd
Led to seeing yourself in a light too proud
With an undeserved dose of self congratulation
To be fair I will share just how you kicked it, share it well
Share a bare faced ruse executed
Since you really really really had stressed that you’d never do it
No span of sloth can ever pay off
‘Less you hop aboard a gravy train for a ticket cost
Of serfdom, bondage, yoke, thrall and subjugation
Now wear the stained cloak that you looted, don’t you wear it well
Such a vacuum in your eyes,
Such a tangled web of endless compromise
With just a tiny bit of humanity for show
Synthetic life of vile and sleaze
Sending blessings to yourself every time you sneeze
While trapped inside a weeded garden that overgrows
I dared that you’d never care to kick it
And it would really really really rip and tear you up to nix it
A misguided notion of the common man
Led to losing focus on just where you stand
Hence you’re due to face a brutal flagellation
Is it fair to compare just how you kicked it? Fair to tell?
