lyrics

My dark side ain't full blown evil, I'm no maniacal villain..
Just a cynical man,
Who knows that tyrants love killing
I doubt I can do a damn thing to change that
They got the damsel tied up to the train tracks
The question remains asked..
In this scenario, am I Dudley Do-Right, riding to the rescue
Or the train itself, running right on schedule?
The thing that does the damage just by doing what it’s meant to..
Everyday, every night
This terrifies me like ghost stories by campfire might’ve
When I was at an age when paranormal was cause for fright
Before the real world’s real horror was brought to light
But once unveiled, it stays florescent lit,
On a campaign trail (Trumping) running for president
But it's anonymous donors that haunt my soul,
the bread behind the sponsored post,
they bought their host, they got your votes, it's over..
You think this matters?

There’s no control in this volatile world
-Rich men and their henchmen questing to rule this but their efforts are fruitless
There’s no controlling this volatile world
-Guess the best you can do is forget the threats that are looming,
out of sight, out of depth - impending doom

All I know is there's a code for the chaos
We try to crack but we can only scratch the surface
Kill the establishment -
I'm a compassionate person
But I'd like to actually hurt it
Inflict enough pain to match what it serves us..
Justice, just as it leaves my lips
I can't help but feel like an idealist
Naive to what this really is
Now I'm back on this binge
Chef’s hat in the kitchen
The dish I'm cooking anarchist-tinged
Cannabis stench and the randomest mix of flavors -
Part nihilist, part blind believer
I'm a builder, I’m a dreamer
I'm at peace within the swirling bedlam
I'm a wreck when alls serene
Fighting for some tranquil headroom
Instead I get this awful scene
Yet again, jettison, I'm found, I'm lost
I'm Foster Revell
Winding up strangers I've concocted myself
Shout out Barf Loko
and all my logos, there more than just brands
I've got a few but I’m no mogul, that's fam
