Carpetbagger

I’m gonna go out and protest Got nuthin’ better to do I wanna go cause some unrest ‘Cause I got no point of view I graduated last in my class No prospects on the horizon Livin’ in Mom and Dad’s basement With mounting bills from Verizon I got no business bein’ here Pretending that I really care Got no ideals or direction But the media want me there I’ll light a few fires, throw some rocks ‘Cause that’s how history’s done In time, they’ll see what a difference I made I’ll be known by everyone No I got no time for invention Enlightenment or art The days of waiting are over Leave it to the Boomer old-farts I talk about Reconstruction But I’m only here to scorch the earth My generation craves direction Each epoch aims to mark its birth It’s time for the Revolution So lemme put on my hood If you see me comin’, better move on I’m here for the collective good I’m here for the collective good I’m here for the collective good I’m here for the Collective
