The Bottom Line

The conversation has gone awry
And everyone’s saying to pick a side
The conversation has made you blind
And everyone’s telling you that it’s fine
There’s only one thing to keep in mind
That nothing matters but the bottom line
Doesn’t matter who you hurt
As long as it makes a profit
No, just make sure you’re making profit
Sometimes it’s so hard to get up in the morning
I can’t face it
I feel like I should be doing more but man but I’m
So complacent
I don’t wanna rock the boat cuz I’m well fed and
Scared to make steps
Paralyzed by fear I feel they want me thinking
I can’t change this
Man I’ve always wanted to be ruled by a damn
Oligarchy
An embarrassed millionaire my wealth and riches
Soon arriving
Finally I’ll be better than the people who I
Went to school with
I just want more money than I really know Just
What to do with

College Is A Scam

Debt is a trap and your loans will come back to destroy your entire life
So be careful of the dotted line. Qui bono ex alumni?
It’s a trap it’s a trap it’s a goddamn trap
Be careful where you step or you might not be walking back.
College! It’s a Scam, College is a goddamn scam
It’s a scam it’s a scam it’s a blatant empty sham
College is a goddamn scam
When you’re 17 years old you’re told to choose the way you wanna die
You can sell your body to the military, your body to the bank
You can commit a minor crime and sell your body to the state
It’s a trap it’s a trap it’s a goddamn trap
Be careful where you step or you might not be walking back.
Unless you’re good at math you shouldn’t waste the cash
Our higher education keeping people trapped
Look at all your options fore you take on debts
What used to raise you up can now keep you oppressed

I’m gonna join a pyramid scheme
I’m gonna try the american dream
I wanna get really really strange plastic surgery
I’m gonna start an internet blog
I’m gonna try a thai massage
I wanna get really really strange plastic surgery
Naw baby don’t mind me and please don’t be alarmed
I don’t wanna do anybody but myself any harm
I’m gonna start a rock n roll band
I wanna lose all my friends
I wanna get really really strange plastic surgery
I wanna start a cult that only worships me
Then have them donate their organs to charity
I wanna get really really strange plastic surgery

I'm Impatient
02:44

Success is always such a fleeting moment
And each rejection tries to tear me apart
Overwhelmed by all this information
I feel stuck and I’m unable to start
And analytics judge my generation
Here to tell us what we are and we aren’t
I judge success by my own creation
I’m isolated and alone with my art
I’m impatient, I’m impatient, I’m impatient
With my situation
You’re so full of shit but you gotta you gotta
You got find a way to market minds
Rip out the value and take away, take away
Anything that shows that you have a heart
A vicious cycle, but it’s who you know man
You’re shaking hands and now you’re dressing the part
It’s laser focused, I hope you noticed
Look in the mirror and you don’t know who you are

Thoughts & Prayers
02:47

All the people are afraid of the police
And the police are afraid of all the people
And the television want you on your knees
And the television says that they’re all evil
There’s a shooting at the school
There’s a shooting at the church
There’s a shooting where you live
There’s a shooting where you work
Yeah it’s hard to see the enemy
When he says he’s got the answer
And it’s hard to see the enemy
When he says that he’s your savior
It’s ok to be afraid
It’s the human condition
But never let your fear
Cloud your intuition

I came here to make profit not waves
I’d never jeopardize my 40 1 k
I consider myself a self starter
I’m just looking for a thing to be a part of
Individuality, Is inefficient
And I’m proud be
A cog in the wheel
A brick in the wall
I think of nothing but my duty that’s all
Loyalty is one of my best attributes
Well that and my, can do attitude
I’m a team player, and I’ll play for you
Not a single thing that if you ask I wouldn’t do
It feels good to be a company man
30 years I got watch with gold band
They’d never trade me, no never not me
I’ve got a pink slip and I’ve been told to pack my things
Thank you, I’m glad to be replaced by you

The Fun
01:18
|

Everything I'm trying gets all messed up in my head
I don't have patience for a whole new outlook
if I just stay quiet maybe they will die instead
just try not to panic cause they don't look mad now
angels are all real and they're telling me Im dead
maybe I should try and see a psychologist
I dont have insurance or the money to buy bread
my imagination causes me discomfort
``
There's the person that I am and the one I wanna be
Can’t tell art from pornography
Tiny little bullshit is a constant source of stress
Anything important I just take it lightly
Judging other people on the way that they are dressed
I just want a simple way to hate my neighbors
No is entitled to their happiness and yes
I don’t give a fuck if you don’t think that it’s fair

Anhedonia

Still not sure what’s left to do
Now that I can afford food
On top of maslow's triangle
I want to jump and die below
No I don’t trust my fellow man
Or myself when I’m sad again
It all seems so irrelevant
Pretend to be intelligent
No matter how hard I try no I can I cannot get better
And though I’m actively trying I just can not get better
I am so out of my mind and I can not get better oh noo oh oh
Just keep your head up ‘s what they say
But it’s sinking lower everyday
And it’s all about that PMA
To cure unfulfilled reality
Now I’m trying hard to make a change
But know that it won’t change a thing
When the simple steps I try and take
Are one step forward two away
I’m just trying to leave a space as wide as I can
From the feelings that I can’t seem to command
I’m just trying to separate the person that I am
From all the toxic thoughts inside my head

With my, Populist Politics
I’ll take your fear and harness it
My lungs are filled with carisma
and my head is filled with hair
I can take you to the promise land
yes I can take you there with my
The law is on my side
because the law is made by me
I’ll protect you from everything
but my own hypocrisy
Now I’m president for life
Yeah I’m never gonna quit and I’m never gonna stop
gonna claw my way to the fucking top
and power is the only thing that gets me off
yeah power is the only thing that gets me off

Yes there's a battle in my mind
Yes there’s a battle in my mind all the time
And if I keep it secret I’ll be fine
If I keep it secret I’ll be fine I’ll be I’ll be fine
No I don’t feel safe yet
Don’t mean we have to take steps
Sick and tired of saying a fake yes
You say that I can change it, but I don’t wanna change it
I Take Only, Only what I need
I’ll tell you what I need, my need is everything
I keep my mouth open, I act like I know
I need my thoughts noticed, I keep my mind closed
I am always the victim no matter who I hurt
No I will not forgive them,
Those who I’ve hitten first

Don't Be An Asshole
02:24

Well I’m trying hard to be a decent human being
But it’s tough not to be bad when no one's looking
And I’m trying hard to be a decent human being
But it’s easier to trample those below you
It’s really not that hard to be an asshole
Yeah it’s really not that hard to be an asshole
Yeah it’s easy as can be, and applies to most of humanity
it’s not that hard to be, an asshole.
You've got to read the art of the deal, ya gotta lie cheat and steal
Or you’re a sucker, waiting to get fucked over
at every opportunity, you gotta crush your enemies
Even if your enemies aren't aware they’re your enemies
Don’t be an asshole.
