Smothering In Physical Stimuli

visually exciting & ya been set adrift...ya been “waiting for angels?” ya been done in, ya been fooled, ya been took, ya been t-r-i-c-k-e-d--- now’s the time to smarten up, yes, now’s the time to do it, cause’ nobody’s gonna do it for ya, cause’ nobody’s keepin’ track of you except you & if ya believe that one we can tell you another (bugs neath’ the carpet, cameras in the skies, Zuckerberg in your pocket & clergy tryin’ ta’ zip up your fly) when it’s all based on rhythm, when the kids know the truth, might have to suck up that pride & start listening instead of proclaiming, start living instead of praying, start kissing instead of hiding, start dancing instead of dying.
