lyrics

Listed my spare room on Airbnb, people won’t rent it but they’ll sleep in my street gutter.
My neighborhood is a food oasis, Sweetgreen and Whole Foods but I wanna eat butter.
I got the 4K at a 5 finger discount, HD Sony from a guy at a masked looting.
I send my children to a school with good funding, I can’t wait to see them die in a mass shooting.

Wanna find a narrative
But it seems the problem is
A disembodied machine we all operate.
Can’t recast a few bad actors,
When there are so many factors.
The exploited masses will cooperate.

Is there hope?

It’s hard to strike a perfect balance,
Between delusion and positivity.
I only aim to lend my talents,
To situations needing it from me.

Don’t wanna die in a mass shooting.
There is hope.
