[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com  [03:20.16]Pavlov hits me with more bad news every time I answer the phone [03:01.91]So I play and I sing and I just let it ring [03:04.79]All day when Im at home [03:13.04]A defacto choice of [03:14.10]Macro-microcosmic melancholy [03:19.48]But baby any way you slice it [03:21.60]Im thinkin I could just as soon use the time alone [03:29.54]Yeah the goons have gone global [03:31.10]And the ceos are shredding files [03:34.41]And the democrans and the republicrats [03:36.29]Are flashing their toothy smiles [03:37.79]And uncle tom is posing for a photo-op with the oval office klan [03:41.54]And uncle sam is riggin cockfights in the promised land [03:45.10]And that knife you stuck in my back is still there [03:48.79]It pinches a little when I sigh and moan [03:52.29]And these days Im thinkin I could just as soon use the time alone [04:02.85]Cause all the wrong people have the power of suggestion [04:06.23]And the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks the question [04:10.85]I mean causation by definition is such a complex compilation of factors [04:16.92]That to even try to say why is to oversimplify [04:25.11]Thats a far cry  isnt it dear  from acting like youre the only one there [04:31.23]Unrepentantly self-centered and unfair [04:36.79]Enter all suckers scrambling for the truth [04:38.54]Exit mr  eye-contact who took his flirt and flew the coup [04:42.79]But whatever  no matter  no fishin trips  no fishin [04:47.11]Cause mommas officially out of commission [04:51.23]And did I mention in there somewhere [04:54.17]Did I mention somewhere in there [04:57.67]That I traded babe ruth [05:01.55]Yes I traded the only player [05:04.99]That was bigger than the game [05:06.80]And I cant even tell you why [05:09.36]Cause youd think Im insane [05:10.99]And thats the truth [05:24.05]And the music industry mafia is pimping girl power [05:25.80]Sniping off sharp-shooter singles from their styrofoam towers [05:28.18]And hip-hop is tied up in the back room with a logo stuffed in its mouth [05:34.05]Cause the masters tools will never dismantle the masters house [05:39.55]But then  Im getting away from myself [05:42.80]As I get closer and closer home [05:46.37]And the difference between you and me baby [05:48.93]Is I get f**ked up when Im alone [05:56.04]And I must admit today [05:58.08]That my inner pessimist seems to have gotten the best of me [06:03.81]We start out sugared up on kool aid and manifest destiny [06:06.94]And then we memorize all the presidents names like little trained monkeys [06:10.56]And we spit into the world so many spinny-eyed tv junkies [06:18.25]Incapable of unraveling the military-industrial mystery [06:21.12]Pre-emptively passified with history book history [06:23.56]And Ive been around the world now and I can see this about america [06:30.62]The mind control is deep here  man [06:35.38]The myopia is steep here  man [06:37.19]And behold those who try to expose the reality [06:40.88]Really try to realize democracy [06:47.19]Are shot with rubber bullets and gassed off the streets [06:50.63]While the global power brokers are kept clean and discreet [06:54.63]Behind a wall [06:55.44]Behind a moat [06:56.12]And that is all [06:57.00]Thats all [06:57.75]Thats all she wrote [07:11.57]And my heart beats an s-s-s o-o-o s-s-s [07:15.95]Cause folks just really couldnt care-care-care less-less-less [07:20.45]As long as every day is superbowl sunday [07:24.44]And larger than life women in lingerie are pouting at us from every bus stop [07:31.00]She loves me  she loves me not [07:33.39]She loves me  she loves me not [07:36.13]She loves me  she loves me not [07:46.70]And big government should not stand between a man and his money [07:50.95]I mean  whats good for business is good for the country [07:55.63]Our children still take that lie like communion [07:58.89]The same old line the confederacy used on the union [08:04.38]Conjugate liberty into libertarian [08:06.64]And medicated associated with deregulation privitization [08:11.08]We wont even know were slaves on a corporate plantation [08:13.08]Somebody say hallelujah [08:16.01]Somebody say damnation [08:18.76]Cause the profit system follows the path of least resistance [08:21.27]And the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked [08:23.89]Makes it serpentine [08:25.01]Capitalism is the devils wet dream [08:28.39]So just give me my judy garland drugs and let me get back to work [08:32.14]Cause the empire state building is the tallest building in new york [08:38.33]And I have always got the feeling [08:40.33]You just like to hear it fall off your tongue [08:47.70]But I remember my name in your mouth [08:55.14]And I dont think I was done hearing it close to my ear [08:57.76]On a whispers way to a moan [09:00.52]Pavlov hits me with more bad news every time I answer the phone [09:07.21]So I play and I sing and just let it ring [09:09.27]All day when Im at home [09:12.64]A defacto choice of [09:18.77]Macro-microcosmic melancholy [09:20.33]But baby any way you slice it [09:29.21]Im thinkin I could just as soon use the time alone
