1
My rhyme ain't good just yet,
2
My brain and tongue just met,
3
And they ain't friends, so far,
4
My words don't travel far,
5
They tangle in my hair,
6
And tend to go nowhere,
7
They grow right back inside,
8
Right past my brain and eyes
9
Into my stomach juice
10
Where they don't serve much use,
11
No healthy calories,
12
Nutrition values.
13
And I absorb back in
14
The words right through my skin
15
They sit there festering inside my bowels
16
The consonants and vowels
17
The consequence of sounds
18
The consonants and vowels
19
The consequence of sounds
20
Got a soundtrack in my mind,
21
All the time. Kids-
22
Screamin' from too much beat up
23
And they don't even rhyme,
24
They just stand there, on a street corner,
25
Skin tucked in
26
And meat side out and shot,
27
And I'd like to turn them down
28
But there ain't no knob.
29
Run into picket fences
30
Not into picket lines.
31
All this hippie-shit for the 60's
32
And another clich for our time. But,
33
But a one of these days your heart
34
Will just stop ticking,
35
And they sorta just don't find you till your cubicle is reeking.
36
The consonants and vowels
37
The consequence of sounds
38
The consonants and vowels
39
The consequence of sounds
40
Ahh ah ah ah ahh ah ah ah
41
Did you know that the gravedigger's still
42
Gettin' stuck in the machine
43
Even tough it's a whole other daydream.
44
It's another town it's another world,
45
Where the kids are asleep, where the loans are paid
46
And the lawns are mowed.
47
Whad'ya think?
48
All the gravediggers were gone?
49
Just cause one song is done
50
There's always another one,
51
Waiting right around the bend,
52
Till this one ends,
53
Then it begins
54
Sqeaky clean, then it starts all over again.
55
The weather report keeps on
56
Tossing and turning,
57
Predicting and warning,
58
And warning and warning of,
59
Possibly it could be news publications and,
60
Possibly it could be news TV stations. That
61
Very same morning right next to her coffee
62
She noticed some bleeding and heard hollow coughing and
63
National Geographic was being too graphic,
64
When all she had wanted to know was the traffic
65
"The worlds got a nosebleed" it said
66
"And we're flooding but we keep on cutting
67
The trees and the forests!"
68
And we keep on paying those freaks on the TV,
69
Who claim they will save us but want to enslave us.
70
And sweating like demons they scream through our speakers
71
But we leave the sound on 'cause silence is harder.
72
And no one's the killer and no one's the martyr
73
The world that has made us can no longer contain us
74
And profits are silent then rotting away 'cause
75
The consonants and vowels
76
The consequence of sounds.
77
The consonants and vowels
78
The consequence of sounds.
79
Ah ah ah...
80
My rhyme ain't good just yet,
81
My brain and tongue just met,
82
And they aint friends, so far,
83
My words don't travel far,
84
They tangle in my hair,
85
And tend to go nowhere,
86
They grow right back inside,
87
Right past my brain and eyes
88
Into my stomach juice
89
Where they don't serve much use,
90
No healthy calories,
91
Nutrition values.
92
And I absorb back in
93
The words right through my skin
94
They sit there festering inside my bowels
95
The consonants and vowels
96
The consequence of sounds
97
The consonants and vowels
98
The consequence of sounds
