lyrics

E G#m B A
E G#m C#m B-A

Sick of writing the same damn song
Want to write something more than 2 minutes long
Every time I try it comes out wrong
but it's fine cuz I get along
Don't want to leave my comfort zone
Even if it's made of stone
Don't want to leave this throne
Cuz I'm the king of being alone

Want to write a song that's political
When I try it comes out hypocritical
And it sounds like I'm nine.
Just be nice and everything will be fine
Share what yah got, don't say mine
Everything I say is benign
I'll pen our revolution's anthem
but it'll come out like a temper tantrum

I want to be a rapper / but that would cause laughter
And besides I'm too white / I've got nothing to fight
But I've got rhythm / like the church got schisms
and I've got rhymes / like euclid got primes
maybe not that many / but still I got plenty
infinity's a lot / oh wait no it's not
there's always something bigger / take your finger off the trigger
we're all insignificant / except we're so significant
we're stuck here on earth / where we die and where we birth
might as well learn respect / take action that's direct
scarcity is fake / an abundance we could make
meet everyone's needs / every mouth we could feed
but it's going to be hard / they'll play the commie card
like Jesus would hate / everyone's full plate
you might not agree / but the way I see
technology's the key / to set everyone free
