Losing/Gaining Interest

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

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

Writer's Block (Already)

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

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

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

Burnt Pages

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

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....

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?
