Loud

Thunderous, roaring, booming, deafening
A hit so good got 'em begging

Begging for more, just pulling 'em in with magnetism
Hitting so LOUD causing astigmatism

Now, vision for the future is disrupted and obstructed
Drifting away from the blueprints of the ancestors that still have not been constructed

Cacophonous, blasting, ringing, piercing
A hit so good got 'em fading

Fading to an indolent and shiftless place
Far away from peace to shame and disgrace

Now sloth and aimlessness fill the day
No aim, no energy, 'cause LOUD got 'em quietly fading away

Yep! LOUD got 'em munchin' and cravin' a snack
Nutritionally destitute, wholesome sustenance they lack

LOUD getting louder; now they're really quiet
Indoors asleep when they should beout in a riot

LOUD just sippin' and sappin' that drive
Giving 'em allusions of feeling good and being alive

A political sedative, to say the least
LOUD has gotten louder while slowly silencing the beast
