lyrics

the authorita the gravitas to autograph passports
at the bar bored with buzzwords barking in bar codes
I saw her aurora explode above her speech bubble
saying live for today tomorrow your in deep trouble
a flag of convenience a ship on the rocks
attack on the horizon a tick on the clocks
a smear on a headline a blur on the thoughts
a poem on a pillow with a twist on the plots
lace the have nots with talk till their tied up in knots
tangle neanderthal thoughts till their eye witness caught
a carrier pigeon gets violently shot
messengers always doo have done since the day dot
a solitary hand lurks from the sulk of the gutter
reaching for moonshine and a drink from the udder
utterly redundant constantly resigned
to make beelines for sidelines the guidelines of mankind
are mad behind the times buzzing honey at the find
the rewind button works just fine if you recline
and relax and relay learn to read the sign
or get ready to blow up when I land mine

If Bill Hicks were alive he would hate Bill Hicks fans
if he hadn`t have died they wouldn`t know he was born
dead celebrities eternally selling youse Pepsi`s
2 Pac hologram has the Number One song

let`s take a look at these headlines it seems we re all fucked
apart from the lucky ones who were plucked at birth
the system only works if you can blag your worth
sleight of hand cuts the cards from above mark my words
of course it could be worse but it could infinitely improve
inherently apparent ingenuity is due
so when they take you aye you you be taken wise
heads held high be recognised
no idea of the scale of the plan for the prize
realise the smogs a smokescreen obscuring starry skies
don`t generalize me or over analyse me
remember the risk but never lose the spark
what`s good for the soul may be bad for the heart
it`s a balancing act but there both worlds apart
there`s no point in saying that you wish you didn`t start
off the richter scale with my medical chart
and the damage will increase until the day I depart
and if they cart me off to hospital or an institution
I'll laugh at the confusion and escape this illusion

I respect all opinions but criticise all of them
