My rhyme ain't good just yet[00:00:11]
My brain and tongue just met[00:00:13]
And they ain't friends so far[00:00:14]
My words don't travel far[00:00:15]
They tangle in my hair[00:00:17]
And tend to go nowhere[00:00:18]
They grow right back inside[00:00:20]
Right past my brain and eyes[00:00:21]
Into my stomach juice[00:00:23]
Where they don't serve much use[00:00:23]
No healthy calories[00:00:25]
Nutrition values[00:00:27]
And I absorb back in[00:00:28]
The words right through my skin[00:00:30]
They sit there festering inside my bowels[00:00:31]
The consonants and vowels[00:00:34]
The consequence of sounds[00:00:40]
The consonants and vowels[00:00:46]
The consequence of sounds[00:00:52]
Got a soundtrack in my mind[00:00:57]
All the time Kids[00:00:59]
Screaming from too much beat up[00:01:00]
And they don't even rhyme[00:01:01]
They just stand there on a street corner[00:01:02]
Skin tucked in and meat side out and shot[00:01:04]
And I'd like to turn them down[00:01:06]
But there ain't no knob[00:01:07]
Run into picket fences[00:01:08]
Not into picket lines[00:01:09]
All this hippie sh*t for the 60's[00:01:11]
And another clich for our time[00:01:12]
But a one of these days your heart[00:01:14]
Will just stop ticking[00:01:16]
And they sorta just don't find you till your cubicle is reeking[00:01:17]
The consonants and vowels[00:01:21]
The consequence of sounds[00:01:26]
The consonants and vowels[00:01:32]
The consequence of sounds[00:01:38]
Ahh ah ah ah ahh ah ah ah[00:01:43]
Ahh ah ah ah ahh ah ah ah[00:01:47]
Dang ci ci dang ci ci dang dang dang[00:01:56]
Dang ci ci dang ci ci dang dang dang[00:02:01]
Did you know that the gravedigger's still[00:02:07]
Getting stuck in the machine[00:02:09]
Even tough it's a whole other daydream[00:02:10]
It's another town it's another world[00:02:13]
Where the kids are asleep where the loans are paid[00:02:15]
And the lawns are mowed[00:02:17]
Whad'ya think all the gravediggers were gone[00:02:18]
Just cause one song is done[00:02:21]
There's always another one[00:02:23]
Waiting right around the bend[00:02:24]
Till this one ends[00:02:26]
Then it begins[00:02:27]
Sqeaky clean then it starts all over again[00:02:28]
The weather report keeps on[00:02:30]
Tossing and turning[00:02:32]
Predicting and warning[00:02:33]
And warning and warning of[00:02:35]
Possibly it could be news publications and[00:02:36]
Possibly it could be news TV stations That[00:02:39]
Very same morning right next to her coffee[00:02:43]
She noticed some bleeding and heard hollow coughing and[00:02:45]
National Geographic was being too graphic[00:02:48]
When all she had wanted to know was the traffic[00:02:51]
The worlds got a nosebleed it said[00:02:54]
And we're flooding but we keep on cutting[00:02:56]
The trees and the forests[00:02:59]
We keep on paying those freaks on the TV[00:03:00]
Who claim they will save us but want to enslave us[00:03:03]
Sweating like demons they scream through our speakers[00:03:07]
But we leave the sound on cause silence is harder[00:03:09]
And no one's the killer and no one's the martyr[00:03:12]
The world that has made us can no longer contain us[00:03:16]
And profits are silent then rotting away cause[00:03:19]
The consonants and vowels[00:03:26]
The consequence of sounds[00:03:31]
The consonants and vowels[00:03:37]
The consequence of sounds[00:03:43]
Ahh ah ah ah ahh ah ah ah[00:03:48]
Ahh ah ah ah ahh ah ah ah[00:03:51]
Dang ci ci dang ci ci dang dang dang[00:04:01]
Dang dang ci ci dang ci dang dang[00:04:06]
My rhyme ain't good just yet[00:04:12]
My brain and tongue just met[00:04:14]
And they ain't friends so far[00:04:15]
My words don't travel far[00:04:17]
They tangle in my hair[00:04:18]
And tend to go nowhere[00:04:19]
They grow right back inside[00:04:21]
Right past my brain and eyes[00:04:22]
Into my stomach juice[00:04:24]
Where they don't serve much use[00:04:25]
No healthy calories[00:04:27]
Nutrition values use[00:04:28]
And I absorb back in[00:04:30]
The words right through my skin[00:04:31]
They sit there festering inside my bowels[00:04:33]
The consonants and vowels[00:04:36]
The consequence of sounds[00:04:42]
The consonants and vowels[00:04:48]
The consequence of sounds[00:04:54]
