I\'ve seen a lot of things in the last few weeks.
Two people dead, one to murder, the other suicide.
The mass media telling fake news
And giving the idiots their lullaby.
I\'ve seen an older man date a minor.
The law says it\'s okay,
But the parents can still press charges.
How can people live by laws freely interpreted and accept the ones
That aren\'t abided in?
It sure feels like summer.
Heat coming off of the barrel,
And people forced to leave their homes
Because of field fires.
The streets aren\'t the same,
Back then you would get shot.
Now, you still get messed up
But no one hears about it.
A man says a word and the other one disappears,
Like a candle in the night, with the blowing of a little wind.
It\'s really scary to think about how fucked up
The world we live in really is.
I\'ve seen Heroes commit homicide.
And you tell me to prosper in poverty,
When you\'ve got an education and investments?
Riches making more cents than the common should,
Just isn\'t right.
With all of the things that are happening around us,
It\'s difficult to remain impartial.
It\'s even stranger to be unchanged.
So I wonder:
Am I bereft, or just insane?
Noticing many things in the world,
That shouldn\'t be, but bizarre,
I need to stop dreaming,
And see things for what they are.
I just lack the motivation.
I\'ve got a lot to say, the only way I know how to be supportive.
I\'m antisocial, sure my rhymes are decent, but the material is uninspired.
I was a king once,
But that man just retired.
I took the sight by storm, but now it\'s like a memory.
I find it hard to be a part of something that I think is biased,
Maybe I see it that way because it\'s different than when I started.
I don\'t want to go away, but my heart just isn\'t in it.
The me that had a goal and the me that doesn\'t care -
Have parted.
I wish I could stick around, and do things that I think matter.
But one man\'s style hardly affects the outcome.
It\'s different now. The urge will fade, like I said.
Sure did, so all that\'s left I guess
Is to say, \"Peace out\",
And \"Thanks.\"
