1.
College is such a joke And the punchline is it leaves you broke Dear USA, Can I get a smarter brain, Without putting it on a payment plan? And the students they keep losing interest Because the American dream has fucking left us Dear USA, Can I get a smarter brain, Without putting it on a payment plan? I wanted to be a gifted teacher And to kids another inspiring leader But five years of constant debt With creditors down my back Has left me grounded with my head out of the clouds
2.
I really need to know for some closure And maybe for my future compure Was it easy to walk away? Or harder to find reasons to stay? Now you want to teach with restrictions Instead of screaming with convictions You want the fun you've been missing Join the herd, forget the lesson Is this what they all felt Writing corny songs about Being let down by decisions A learning true intentions? You say there's more to inspire Than those in basements who perspire You want to help them bloom But now only in your classroom I just can't walk away With so much more to say To our counter culture So fly with the vultures Is this what they all felt Writing corny songs about Being let down by decisions A learning true intentions? If it means anything, good luck to you my old friend
3.
I was feeling complacent with no gripes, But I still had the urge to write So I tried to be funny but no one laughed I guess I can get pissed at that Still learning that I don't have to always be so angry But hey, life's a little more interesting when you've got a scapegoat
4.
You think that people shouldn't get handouts They've got no means for themselves You've got your doubts Because welfare moms are fat and lazy Lazy whores who just want your hard earned money But just keep speaking in deafening obsoletes To try and crush the stampled self-esteem Don't you realize without financial support Slaves can't flip your burgers, do your chores or play your sports So the rich can keep getting richer
5.
If you want to have the same mentality As those in your prior geneaology Then why don't you play the same chords Instead of playing our noise This isn't country music Lynard Skynard or Ted Nugent Why try and strike the funny bone With these racist undertones Head for the white washed mountains Where you can drink from Glenn Beck's fountain And taste the dilluted dreams Just keep it out of our scene This isn't country music Lynard Skynard or Ted Nugent Why try and strike the funny bone With these racist undertones Stick to leather chaps and cowboy hats
6.
Burnt Pages 01:17
The truth about life was lost Generations back in a bookfire But you probably don't give a fuck If we read the words of a thousand liars Burning pages to keep warm A quick fix in a time of war Burning pages to keep warm Like so many have done before Pages can start a fire They don't burn like your circuts and wires So hurray to the digital age A way to rewrite the truth so our lungs are saved
7.
You wonder why I never smile? Because my teeth are rotting from denial They fall out in my sleep They kind of hurt me everytime I eat My mom and dad never brought me to the dentist When they couldn't afford any kind of health insurance But you don't realize son just how expensive Divorce court, weed, porn, cocaine and beer can really be....
8.
I'm losing my hair, But I'm still getting pimples, My vision's getting worse And squinting gives you wrinkles I still shave everyday But can't grow a beard I've screamed into so many speakers Its always ringing in my ear Woe is me, For all I can be Is a dying modern man I ate what I wanted It gave me tits and a gut Seeing this every morning Put me in this rut My reflection Has the sharpest eyes They see right through me And the flaws I've tried to hide Woe is me, For all I can be Is a dying modern man Modern problems in modern times Modern solutions for all the modern crimes Modern kids turn into modern adults Who grow up on modern meds living with their modern faults So this is the modern age?
