Now between the rivers
There lies a city
And in that city
Resides a hippie now
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
Pity pity a hippie turned business owner?
Do ya do ya do ya do
Pity pity a hippie turned business owner?
I hope its no cause
Cause I know that
We've all worked for one
An asshole matched by none
You could hear his heart
Some days his "pain"
And everything was just so so
Branded from the start
I just want to dart
Now between the sectors
There are connectors
Homemade oil
And Stolen nector yeah
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
Pity pity a hippie turned business owner?
Do ya do ya do ya do
Pity pity a hippie turned business owner?
I hope its no cause
Cause I know that
We've all worked for one
An asshole matched by none
You could hear his heart
Some days his "pain"
And everything was just so so
Branded from the start
I just want to dart

Have you ever heard of a seasonal charm
That's talking off the dome
Because of all the flaws can be shown when they're
Hidden in the financial zones
No matter how sharp the wood it could always be a stove
He's so proud of all the places that he drove
Exported his posture in a new pose
It's so close to the real thing
One that's just so photographable
Prizes of no value get so old
Let's just called them prepaid meals
Handed down to us by the local bureaucrats
Have you ever heard of a seasonal charm
That's talking off the dome
Because of all the flaws can be shown when they're
Hidden in the financial zones
I always sometimes but rarely really thing
We ain't getting nowhere just dropping clues
About the tenfold ultimate simulation
It's so close to the real thing
One that's just so photographable
Prizes of no value get so old
Let's just called them prepaid meals
Handed down to us by the local bureaucrats

Honey that's how it goes
Oh yeah, say goodbye
To all your land oh
Come on, everybody share your wealth on the dance floor
That's the only way were ever gonna start over
Who here ain't sick of that nasty working my friend
You got me losing my purity as a person again
I'm stuck in these
Backwards enclosed lands
Oh god I'm looking for the common lands
Oh god I'm looking for the common lands
Oh Virginia I'm looking for the common lands
Oh Patricia I'm looking foe the common lands
Won't you let me know when it comes around
I'll stop hiding underground
I'll stop hanging downtown
Just as long as I hear that sound
Honey that's how it goes
Oh yeah, say goodbye
To all your land oh
Come on, everybody share your wealth on the dance floor
That's the only way were ever gonna start over
Who here ain't sick of that nasty working my friend
You got me losing my purity as a person again
Oh god I'm looking for the common lands
Yeah you got me looking
Oh god I'm looking for the common lands

When I'm walking down the street
I'm better off looking at my feet
Everything you read's a newsfeed
They're feeding you exactly what you wanna read
A couple pages of history
A couple snippets of discovery
All cut up and mixed into
A small sized
Smoothie from an Internet cafe
sha la la la
So I can stay connected with my friends
sha la la la la
When we hang I don't know what to say
sha la la la la
Then I ask myself how'd I get this way
oooooo sha la la la la la la la la
You know the internet's
Not as cool as smoking weed that's right
Smoking weed's not cool as dreams alright
But dreams are never what they seem
Look mom a bird

Royal but not loyal
Every hesitation has got its own oh style
Rendered possible by all the aisles
Searching for something so wild
Ain't nothing but a trial
The sound of your voice makes me feel alright
And with you I see a light
But when it's dark you're nowhere to be found
Might as well dig myself in the ground
And now is not the time to talk it out
You lost the benefit of my doubt
On the day that you ousted it out
With cries from the South
Soundtracks of the advertisements
Led by experts and their experiments
Designed to sell you a loving voices
Oh how beautiful the illusion of choice

Watch them go go go go go go go go
Do you think that it'll last
Maybe maybe ask your friends
Do you think that'll it'll last
I drove away so many times
Could never tell what was rightfully mine
It's hard not to be a powerless culture freak
That just wants to enjoy the one life of his
World gone mad oh yeah
World gone in a trash bag
World gone mad oh yeah
World gone in a trash bag
Now maybe if I wanted kids
The world would have to be
Better than this shit
And if still end up having kids
Call myself a petty little hypocrite
World gone mad oh yeah
World gone in a trash bag
World gone mad oh yeah
World gone in a trash bag
Now who's gonna gonna clean it up?
I know who's gonna gonna pay it up
Can't help but cough it cough it cough it up
Just hanging here enough to maybe touch it up
World gone mad

Likely Scam

Late reaction drew the foul
(You could see it in the crowd)
Program cuts to the ad
(For a show that's army proud)
A new type of marketplace
(That lives inside your head)
You go through the motions
But you feel so
Dead every morning when you gotta get outta bed
Thinking about the boss man lingering on what he said
I know it counts when you really gotta count to ten
I lost some men when I didn't have the funds to send
And oh it's nothing but an oil glut
Oh oh oh my cell phone rings
(How do they know who I am?)
Numbers look a lot like
(My purchased family plan)
Liquidate my feudal claims
(Make my momma go insane)
The program cuts cut my breath and now
The commonwealth is so
Dead every morning when you gotta get outta bed
Thinking about the boss man lingering on what he said
I know it counts when you really gotta count to ten
I lost some men when I didn't have the funds to send
And oh it's nothing but an oil glut
Let's go!

Can we find a nirvana now
In this modern day oasis
The white stripes of the amerikan flag
They burn my third eye blind, my third eye's blind
Smashed my mouth in the pavement
It felt so sublime, my bloody valentine
There's no doubt that the
Red hot chili peppers are
growing in the sound garden
Well now, in the wrong landscapes
I can forget about everything that's at stake
And with a simple click I can read for days
On the train on the way to work
I don't need no swift kick I just need
Something in which to uplift
Oh median of our collective conscious
All we got left all these tokens
Of self imposed exile
Wanna see a union of
All the divisive styles
For the sake of rank and file
Well now, in the wrong landscapes
I can forget about everything that's at stake
And with a simple click I can read for days
On the train on the way to work
I don't need no swift kick I just need
Something in which to uplift
Oh median of our collective conscious
All we got left all these tokens
Of self imposed exile
Wanna see a union of
All the divisive styles

How do you go if you don't even know?
How do you know it all?
I'm so cool as long as you make the calls
Listen I'd rather trip before I fall
So many times they have seen me stalled
Oh I'm laid out exposed and sprawled
Don't you want the good folks to know
They are all staying at home
Don't you want the good folks to know
Who yall consider are the bad folks
Oh y'all are the bad folks oh lets go
Homo economicus,
you're rational but you got no lips
Always got me talking in these riffs
Always got me wishing for the bliss
So many weights that I could never lift
My abs meet your rock hard fist
Don't you want the good folks to know
They are all staying at home
Don't you want the good folks to know
Who yall consider are the bad folks
Oh y'all are the bad folks oh lets rock

Give me a cue won't you give me a cue
(so we can be in sync)
Just a little clue just a literal clue
(aren't you baffeld at the way)
windfall fruits
(flow upstream so smooth)
ceremony's for
(the passing of the torch)
put an end to everything that's so cruel
in exchange for everything just be cool
It's like a jigsaw puzzle that
You don't have the front box to refer to
Surround yourself with your working kind
Then you will know exactly when it is
Time to walk North and South
We don't even forget about the
East and the West
We don't even come close to forgetting about
All of the rest
All the proven standards
Will always fail the test
That's why we're not afraid to
Give and give and give you a coup were gonna give you a cue
(so we can be in sync)
Just a little clue just a literal clue
(aren't you baffeld at the way)
windfall fruits
(flow upstream so smooth)
ceremony's for
(the passing of the torch)
put an end to everything that's so cruel
in exchange for everything just be cool
