The Roundabout Jig

Quit the benzos
Run on amphetamine
Keep your street closed
And hands washed clean
Ebola boy and ISIS
Africa in crisis
Black blood flowing like molasses
And the white queen in her palace
Don’t know the difference?
Well then you live in a hole
Where in darkness, you’re tied to a pole
And you
With what you thought was knowledge
Are calling snow flakes coal
Serpent eyes calling you down
Don’t fall in a manhole
And Trump might kill me for this
But I got a sweet spot for him to kiss
 
Cotton made of the past
Policemen riding fast
Young children dying in schools
And guns
Lying in black pools
Don’t play the fool
You know the game too well
You keep yourself under their spell
Choice is choice
Dice is dice
Birds fly high in the sky
While in the streets the innocent lie
Wondering when the next person will die
Newspapers exploding white
And I got my baby to hold me tight
 
You hear his voice
Then make the choice
Whatever he sells
You buy and wish him well
The Kardashians selling
The police ain’t telling
They can’t stay clean
And no one even knows
You know what I mean?
Treyvon Martin
Charlie Sheen
The lights glow so bright
Moth-like and mean
Keep your photos out of sight
Jennifer Lawrence got it right
And sadly we all found out
Her body was out of sight
 
Go to school
Get a job
Have some kids
Take the pills
Aid your ills
Get your fill
Join the army
Or pay the bills
Trump might win
Hillary may join in
Self-will run riot
No one looking within
But hey kid!
It’s the way they play the game
Dreams of silver lights and instant fame
Big Pharma, Food Inc, Government
They’re all the same
So save yourself your game
Hit the reset and hide
Something is coming down
We wonder when
But its already arrived.
