Shout off the rooftops Turn it to vapor the subsides stop allowances taper Lace up those high tops tie a double knot Debt scabies blackouts What else we got? You don’t have the answers You have no proof that it’s worth it Rendered insignificant call it college call it crash course A slut shamed 70 percent goes out into the work force What did we do it for? Art Class War Don’t want to pay for more Art Class War We chase our tails and shadow box No one rewinds the ticking clocks Change isn’t always good progress is never bad Some sublimate Some lure Some have And some are had We don’t agree But we’re not wrong It’s not what we see It’s how we belong Wouldn’t want my kidney How bout a tooth It’s not worth it Take our stage Set it on fire Wont make me more true To call you a liar Shackle the brain trust And we start to rust Implode or combust Our dreams turn to dust

coming of age when the pendulum swings towards the rage futures are waged on the promise of a guilded cage a waif a sage burned down their podium they thought her an ingrate let poisoned pages burn we have so much more to earn leave all that's left for fun short wide tall and thin two steps backwards to begin whichever way you turn is an opportunity to win all you have to do is move to find your groove No thanks to spanx don't need no scuba suit no banks or tanks just scoot or get the boot i've got a horn to toot don't like it I don't give a hoot nothing we have to be can't stop us from being free all you have to do is move to find your groove

Revolutions Bailed Institutions Hailed Why Evolution's Failed Finish what you started for the sake of it don't let sense get in your way tomorrow's another day that territory's charted that rulebook has been tossed away yeah, tomorrow's another day so now who will you obey so now who will you obey is that you talking to me is that you talking to me will you know what to do when you discover that there's no one left but you to answer to you're nothing once my faith in you escapes If you cared at all you might have noticed that i'm done listening and i'm not sure which one of us is more frightened by the thought that purpose has departed so tell meeeeeeee now who will you obey so now who will you obey you can't stop talking to me just can't stop talking to me you're forming sentences from someone else's thoughts so i know now not to let them sink in what do you expect us to be when you can't help but run from mirrors cus you'll have to face that they're all broken They're all broken They're all broken rippling waters shattered glass fleeting focus shadows cast no more forest only trees it's enough to bring you to your knees

Couldn't even make it last got nothing to show now here we go repeat the past in spite of what we know didn't think you had a care so you ignored the signs couldn't anticipate the scare and now you've closed the blinds you think you want it but don't know where to start you feel you've lost now you don't have the heart damn the sand no ones land we are all just visitors that staked a futile claim act as if we know whats best then find someone to blame nevermind the lofty crest there's nothing left to tame looks as though we failed the test its time to face the shame take the stand cus we aren't... Built to last damn the sand no ones land Built To Last

keep rooting for the past get right in their own way knowledge is not so vast ain't got much left to say dull boys will kick a hornet's nest pass the time as it may most of them think they know what's best and they don't think you're supposed to sing that way dare not embrace a change don't leave the post in fright not ones to rearrange what goes bump in the night when they decide they know whats right there is a price to pay they instigate a fatal plight cus they don't think you're supposed to sing that way keep aiming for the glass bloody the path you pave Blowing em up en masse dig your own early grave shut out the cries just smile and wave can't be what you do all day you always took and never gave and we don't think you're supposed to sing that way

Pig Economy 01:38
What now? Who bleeds for your power? Please don't say it's cus you don't know how Serve Protect Harm Collect No fair no fair Why should we pay First do no harm No fair The jobs not done And how You rule from your tower Shut your eyes and then you take a bow Preserve Object Alarm Eject What exactly do we pay you for? No fair no fair Why should we pay Sound the alarm Who gave this guy a gun?

I'm Something borrowed You’re something blue Say you want to Celebrate me But only in the girdle that was forged to keep me in line you're no purveyor of the good life happy husband happy wife i shouldn't do what I am told cus all that glitters isn't gold Go ahead and depilate me only in the regions they approve Say you want to elevate me But it's so high it's unsafe to move you're no purveyor of the good life happy husband happy wife Why should I do what I am told And just let you make my blood run cold I'm not your party no one invited you and I'm not sorry for what I am forced to do we're no team, are we? I shudder to think of how you would react if you only knew I'm Something borrowed You’re something blue If you only knew

Eclipse This 02:09
They say don't stare at the sun they don't want you to have no fun they'd rather you hide at your desk or underneath it actually might be best he failed the hidden camera test but their minds were made up before think they don't need you anymo-o-ore isn't that the start of every war Ok How about this Let's pretend that there's no purpose I-magine that, go ahead choose your fate r u so afraid to kno-o-o-ow what it is to lo-o-Ove that you hide behi-I-I-ind their hate So you don't wanna hurt no one but you harbor nothing more than your need for creature comforts and you won't help settle the score where to run to who to ask easy to say when it's not your back pressed against the wall 2x when you leave others with no where to go but forward you'd better get used to bein' eclipsed Eclipse thiiiiiiis

Take that cigarette from Johnny Carson’s mouth Abort abort abort abort Either way we head south Can’t help being scared After being scarred Apple eaters or the serpentine What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine Don’t have any water would you like some wine? Apple eaters or the serpentine What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine Don’t have any water would you like some wine? All in all he says it’s your word against mine All in all he says it’s your word against mine All in all he says it’s your word against mine Who says it has to stay that way? Insulate don’t absorb the shock Roll Roll Roll Roll Don’t Rock Don’t Rock Swim or Fly Either way we die Apple eaters or the serpentine What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine Don’t have any water would you like some wine? Apple eaters or the serpentine What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine Don’t have any water would you like some wine? All in all he says it’s your word against mine All in all he says it’s your word against mine All in all he says it’s your word against mine Just Say, “What, like it’s hard?”

bulldozed force fed he chose they bled throw a hand grenade but never mind where it lands forced to take the streets when we're left out in the cold by a system that he beat tethered to a broken mold why should we when he certainly doesn't what is shouldn't be if it weren't if it wasn't red pill blue pill no fate no chill predatory lenders come out of the woodwork ready to cushion their fall part of the problem never the solution one for one and none for almost all shut down the government board a plane with a firearm a bathroom attendant will hand you a breath mint but no wall can keep you from harm braving the elements pay to konmari your yurt can't blow the roof off dissidents who never hid cus pain don't hurt
