I never wanted to Pick up a gun Never wanted to Pull that trigger Never wanted Powder burns Upon my Fingers I'm a singer And a poet And a lover And a thief And I'll take What you've got But I'll be very discreet Now this lesson number 9 in your desk book Please turn to the right page And pay attention I'm only going to say this once And I won't mention The other times I tried to explain But you weren't listening Music can be mastered in many different ways It can be a tool for war it can be a road to peace It can glorify an ego to the point of human waste It can educate the masses or reduce us all to hate If you stake your claim in music that denies intelligence You are what you eat, stupid people go f*ck yourselves This planet doesn't have the time for your distractionism Take a long walk off a short cliff that's called altruism Now if you have even a shred of human decency Perhaps you will be interested in better led societies This life isn't a joke so don't be frivolous with your voice Use it where it matters defend your rights that's a PRO choice Moist eyes in the house know of what I'm speaking Horror unfolds every day resistance is retweeting We've been convinced that our thumbs can to do the thinking While your arse is back at work counting pennies, fleeting. I never wanted to Pick up a gun Never wanted to Pull that trigger Never wanted Powder burns Upon my Fingers I'm a singer And a poet And a lover And a thief And I'll take What you've got But I'll be very discreet So discretion is advised If you like your Parables metaphoric As opposed to on the nose If you show then don't tell If you tell they won't show There are rules to telling stories Not just seeing where it goes But in the long term plan We are nothing but a stubbed toe On the footnote of man Civilization unfolds We're at the dawning of a new age A cross in the roads Another panic deep in your brain One path leads to a land of redemption The other down a rabbit hole Joined by demons from the ninth dimension Tripping on adrenochrome It's like the new bad habit Opioids was just a test And we passed with flying colors Pharmaceutic overlords Are happy with their pet maggots Now to feed them new solution Soylent Red White and Blue You can see it on the news Another city caught in flames Another boat in sinking seas Another massacre of trees I never wanted to Pick up a gun Never wanted to Pull that trigger Never wanted Powder burns Upon my Fingers I'm a singer And a poet And a lover And a thief And I'll take What you've got But I'll be very discreet Another burger on your plate With a stack of double cheese Drink it through an IV You can remain upon your knees Don't upset the applecart Because they'll point the finger at you Suddenly you are the heart of the problem Always was you though Wasn't it? Tabloids smear your name With criminal surveillance And fabricated legends Written simply to Promote an agenda Keep the mechanism moving Old debt and new lenders The never ending spiral Comes undone Don't call in your favors Expirations slated You could stand a chance If you would only Tow the party language But you won't will you Cos your pride is fucking with you mate I never wanted to Pick up a gun Never wanted to Pull that trigger Never wanted Powder burns Upon my Fingers I'm a singer And a poet And a lover And a thief And I'll take What you've got But I'll be very discreet I think that's all we've got for this lesson I hope you were paying attention You can find the Cliff notes On all my previous records
