well i was in the hospital a year ago today since then a lot has changed and a lot has stayed the same they said i have a problem, a problem in my brain that makes me feel so sad and put these needles in my vein well its true that i might die someday in a hotel room or an alleyway but we all gotta die someday and that shouldnt bring you down i got one finger on this life and someday i willl hold it tight i swear to god tonights the night we burn this fucking town and i got a feeling thats living in my heart its restless and it weighs a lot sometimes it takes over and everything gets dark and im haunted by the person i am not the person with a stable mind who cuts himself some slack sometimes and isnt scared of when he dies and practices what he'll preach but for now i'll pour another shot for that perfect person i am not that restless feeling's all i got and that's good enough for me and i was born twenty years ago by now to my loving patient mother and my dad and i cant help it if i always let them down and remind them of the son they couldve had one step forward and two steps back, the way i live is like a dance and that dance is going nowhere fast and i cant stop once i start ill never be that better man or any other kind of man im learning to love the way i am but its really fucking hard

we got terraformed hills and plastic trees machines to replace all the honey bees we got oil rigs stickin up outta the sea working towards the next catastrophe we got bionic limbs and robotic brains people homesteading outer space we've made a lot of progress as a human race but our lives and our planet is the price we're gonna pay we got methadone for all the addicts who crave artificial ways of staying sane genetically modified fruits and grain chemicals to treat the cancer we create we got riot gear and atom bombs we got our ways to make you talk unaware of how we control your thoughts we'll get what we want and we're not gonna stop.. cause the future is here and i'm fucking scared it aint just and it aint fair and a consumer society is never gonna care til we can't consume the water and we can't consume the air and all the rights they take away and all the ways they subjugate and how willingly we became their slaves oh no one's gonna care til its too late can't sleep? we got a pill for that pills to take if you think you're fat pills to crush up and feed your brat til he's dead inside just like mom and dad and we'll hawk those pills on the tv sets convince the confused that they're depressed speed through the list of side effects talk to your doctor! we're cutting his checks we got our mega churches and huge estates sirloin steaks on china plates hearts full of greed and full of hate with a stamp that reads 'made in USA' we're shittin out babies and we're so damn proud when they're old enough to drive the hoverround and the little boxes we've got now look just the same as everybody else cos the future is here and im terrified everyone my age looks dead inside become a husk by the age of twenty five its the american way, jesus christ boy have some pride! get a gun, cos that'll totally stop our governments army of crooked cops doesn't fucking matter if youre a pretty good shot' theyll get what they want and they're not gonna stop cos the future is here and ive got no doubt our problems are gonna be hard to surmount but our time and our options are running out we gotta change what we can and we gotta do it now.

judge not lest ye be judged by every single person on this earth who has a heart and pay mind to those you lock up and remember every singe family you tore apart and every singe dirty kid youve taken off the street for the upper class' sake still has a bleeding heart that beats and every single penny you make probationers pay will reflect poorly on your record if and when there is a judgment day as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free needless incarceration is a plague on society careful when you cruise around with lights blue and red on your car black and white and careful when you draw your gun, the people that you kill should be the ones who say what's wrong and what is right careful when you lie in bed and think before you sleep, you might begin to realize your life is incomplete if the only thoughts inside your head are the ones your system gave to you, careful or you'll start to think up your own definition of the truth as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free but heartless judges and crooked cops are all that i can see so spare me the lecture of how you've got power over me because this jail belongs to you i'd like to see you shit your stripes and make tallies of the nights that you spend crying through your window at the moon and finally feel the hate we feel towards cops and magistrates and understand there is no hope for you to rehabilitate yourself or anybody else from inside of an eight-by-eight you'll spend every waking moment on your ass in fear of prison rape as long as there is a soul in prison, i am not free we can burn the jails down and rid the world of inequality

Scream into the ether, what a feeling! But it's fleeting When mistakes I make and hate are the mistakes I keep repeating My generation thinks that it's exempt from expectation Zombified and dead inside from all the pills that we have taken But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care no I'll never fucking care Inside out and backwards, upside down I hang from rafters I am vapid and distracted groping blindly for an answer Or a straw that I can grasp, but ya know I gotta ask Do any of you have a clue or are you talking out your ass? But I don't care... I been digging out my splinters one by one Splinters such as loneliness and splinters such as love I'll get on my feet again but I'll be walking with a limp These splinters in my soul have fucked me up No gods! No masters! Under thumbs of rotten bastards That have taken and forsaken and made this whole world a disaster I am helpless, I am weak, I am shouting from the streets They are wizards! They are lizards! And you've elected them to lead But I don't care... And I'm stuck in the matrix, I don't think that I can fake it A hologram is all I am, I got a feeling and I can't shake it Or a brain in a vat in some fucked up science lab Attached to wires, you're the liars, you're the fucking holograms! but i don't care... I been digging out my splinters one by one splinters such as nervousness and splinters such as trust I'll get on my feet again though I'll be walking with a limp these splinters in my soul have fucked me up
