L’Ennui

you’re asking ?
well I’m telling you
there’s a new
civil war to be fought
and our hands will be
like the righteous fist of god
clearing the land of
the corporate demagogues
like Hitler burned synagogues
plans to control thought
at the push of a button
just like they’re droppin’ bombs
the SWAT team comin’
to arrest us for downloading songs
well they won’t get me
cause when they get here
I’ll be gone
already a memory
but the scent will linger on
and soon the scene’s undone
oil fields blocking the sun
and trees burning
the breeze carries death
revolutionaries’ guns
and I’m one
cause I spit fire like bullets
and I plan to conspire
till the job is done
the end of all wars that can never be won
no it’s just begun
it’s in you and me
since before we were aware of it
a long time coming
much too long to be scared of it
don’t you say that I’m runnin’
cause I’ll be prepared for it
buyin’ seeds
countin’ deeds
everything I need
I carry with me
my sword the word
breeds a new solidarity
to sweep out the notes
the sour keys of hegemony
my enemy breathes
and I know it
I feel it
seen the greed-king-mantis-head
in my dreams
that’s why I’m tryin’ to show
that if you want to survive
you’re gonna have to let go of it
life
amenities
all that time on the sofa, shit
you should’ve been outside
observing, proclaiming it
America serving
her population’s writ
to the globalist nation
so that we’ll all be working
making sneakers or cell phones
till the time we forget
that consumption and creation
are totally opposite
