Lyrics:


(Adam)


look at the ethnically translucent

and their collection of novelty humans

all sorted by colors and flavors, cultural capitalism reduced lending


to the commodification of truth blending belt buckles into bruises


leaving poor little casper's lack of a reflection forever transmuted





so when the hip is dislocated from the movement


I bet the one legged race will only then serve to label the stupid


swallow that pride down to the root and conjoin the knees to the dirt


of every star bellied sneetch found bleeding ink from its ironic t-shirt





see, wegro fruit less strange on these suburban lawnscapes


typical sheep skinned lycanthrope types with a tourist's gaze


these kids are last in place, stuffing voids with the soul they sought in slums


devoid of a point they sift through shifting sands searching for glittery crumbs





sucker punch or run, fucker, clutch your fisher price hand guns


but when the man comes around you need to return the investment and then some


they'd slammed their thumbs too many times to try building any culture at all


and practiced jumping to prove them wrong but never learned how to play basketball




(Joshua)




With a mouthfull of shame, claiming the missing link in the chain gang,


He sang an out-of-tune redemption spiritual,


Figured spitting on something beautiful amidst a tragedy was exactly that bit of unusual needed for his act,





We planted social moths in the suburbs,


Somehow nature selected abandoned test subjects to remain under one herd,


And I've been fearing sleep since a young age,


Afraid of the reappearing sheep, convinced of neverending dreams,





It's the new scarlet letter, go on talk the walk, whatever,


Start some friendships, get in groups, devolve together,


Starve heritage for a homage to unshared accomplishments,


Endeavor 'til the last drop of effort shows just how flawed it is, no pressure,





Haunting, you can hide white lies inside of blackface,


And label it artistic when the audience doesn't get it,


With all these food critics taste-testing strange fruit,


You'd think they'd disallow the counter-culture's attempts to reproduce
