[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com  [03:05.30]Pavlov hits me with more bad news every time I answer the phone [03:09.86]So I play and I sing and I just let it ring [03:13.93]All day when Im at home [03:22.61]A defacto choice of [03:23.68]Macro-microcosmic melancholy [03:28.80]But baby any way you slice it [03:31.74]Im thinkin I could just as soon use the time alone [03:41.07]Yeah the goons have gone global [03:43.19]And the ceos are shredding files [03:46.01]And the democrans and the republicrats [03:48.51]Are flashing their toothy smiles [03:50.32]And uncle tom is posing for a photo-op with the oval office klan [03:54.88]And uncle sam is riggin cockfights in the promised land [03:59.01]And that knife you stuck in my back is still there [04:03.63]It pinches a little when I sigh and moan [04:08.32]And these days Im thinkin I could just as soon use the time alone [04:25.94]Cause all the wrong people have the power of suggestion [04:31.01]And the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks the question [04:36.20]I mean causation by definition is such a complex compilation of factors [04:42.63]That to even try to say why is to oversimplify [04:49.44]Thats a far cry  isnt it dear  from acting like youre the only one there [04:55.32]Unrepentantly self-centered and unfair [05:00.13]Enter all suckers scrambling for the truth [05:03.20]Exit mr  eye-contact who took his flirt and flew the coup [05:08.38]But whatever  no matter  no fishin trips  no fishin [05:12.51]Cause mommas officially out of commission [05:16.45]And did I mention in there somewhere [05:19.13]Did I mention somewhere in there [05:23.64]That I traded babe ruth [05:28.01]Yes I traded the only player [05:29.07]That was bigger than the game [05:31.20]And I cant even tell you why [05:33.45]Cause youd think Im insane [05:35.76]And thats the truth [05:48.89]And the music industry mafia is pimping girl power [05:52.89]Sniping off sharp-shooter singles from their styrofoam towers [05:56.95]And hip-hop is tied up in the back room with a logo stuffed in its mouth [06:02.20]Cause the masters tools will never dismantle the masters house [06:05.77]But then  Im getting away from myself [06:13.14]As I get closer and closer home [06:15.14]And the difference between you and me baby [06:18.02]Is I get f**ked up when Im alone [06:25.33]And I must admit today [06:27.33]That my inner pessimist seems to have gotten the best of me [06:32.39]We start out sugared up on kool aid and manifest destiny [06:37.52]And then we memorize all the presidents names like little trained monkeys [06:41.52]And we spit into the world so many spinny-eyed tv junkies [06:47.58]Incapable of unraveling the military-industrial mystery [06:50.71]Pre-emptively passified with history book history [06:52.90]And Ive been around the world now and I can see this about america [07:10.02]The mind control is deep here  man [07:14.89]The myopia is steep here  man [07:20.84]And behold those who try to expose the reality [07:25.03]Really try to realize democracy [07:26.09]Are shot with rubber bullets and gassed off the streets [07:29.21]While the global power brokers are kept clean and discreet [07:31.71]Behind a wall [07:32.71]Behind a moat [07:33.15]And that is all [07:35.46]Thats all [07:36.21]Thats all she wrote [07:41.53]And my heart beats an s-s-s o-o-o s-s-s [07:46.40]Cause folks just really couldnt care-care-care less-less-less [07:50.96]As long as every day is superbowl sunday [07:54.03]And larger than life women in lingerie are pouting at us from every bus stop [08:00.47]She loves me  she loves me not [08:02.66]She loves me  she loves me not [08:04.59]She loves me  she loves me not [08:20.66]And big government should not stand between a man and his money [08:24.10]I mean  whats good for business is good for the country [08:30.91]Our children still take that lie like communion [08:34.66]The same old line the confederacy used on the union [08:39.53]Conjugate liberty into libertarian [08:40.91]And medicated associated with deregulation privitization [08:43.09]We wont even know were slaves on a corporate plantation [08:45.66]Somebody say hallelujah [08:46.16]Somebody say damnation [08:47.35]Cause the profit system follows the path of least resistance [08:55.24]And the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked [08:57.86]Makes it serpentine [09:00.49]Capitalism is the devils wet dream [09:02.93]So just give me my judy garland drugs and let me get back to work [09:09.37]Cause the empire state building is the tallest building in new york [09:16.12]And I have always got the feeling [09:18.68]You just like to hear it fall off your tongue [09:24.49]But I remember my name in your mouth [09:38.30]And I dont think I was done hearing it close to my ear [09:41.75]On a whispers way to a moan [09:43.75]Pavlov hits me with more bad news every time I answer the phone [09:49.68]So I play and I sing and just let it ring [09:52.37]All day when Im at home [09:53.69]A defacto choice of [09:59.56]Macro-microcosmic melancholy [10:05.56]But baby any way you slice it [10:06.75]Im thinkin I could just as soon use the time alone
