In a forest of stone[00:00:01]

Underneath the corporate canopy[00:00:02]

Where the sun[00:00:03]

Rarely[00:00:04]

Filters[00:00:04]

Down[00:00:06]

The ground[00:00:07]

Is not so soft[00:00:08]

Not so soft[00:00:09]

They build buildings to house people[00:00:12]

Making money[00:00:14]

Or they build buildings to make money[00:00:14]

Off of housing people[00:00:17]

Its true[00:00:18]

Like a lot of things are true[00:00:18]

I am foraging for a phone booth on the forest floor[00:00:20]

That is not so soft[00:00:23]

I look up[00:00:25]

It looks like the buildings are burning[00:00:26]

But its just the sun setting[00:00:27]

The solar system calling an end[00:00:30]

To another business day[00:00:33]

Eternally circling signally[00:00:35]

The rythmic clicking on and off[00:00:37]

Of computers[00:00:39]

The pulse[00:00:40]

Of the american machine[00:00:41]

The pulse[00:00:43]

That draws death dancing[00:00:44]

Out of anonymous side streets[00:00:47]

You know[00:00:48]

The ones that always get dumped on[00:00:49]

And never get plowed[00:00:51]

It draws death dancing[00:00:53]

Out of little countries[00:00:55]

With funny languages[00:00:56]

Where the ground is getting harder[00:00:58]

And it was[00:00:59]

Not[00:01:01]

That[00:01:01]

Soft[00:01:01]

Before[00:01:02]

Those who call the shots[00:01:05]

Are never in the line of fire[00:01:06]

Why[00:01:09]

Where theres life for hire[00:01:10]

Out there[00:01:11]

If a flag of truth were raised[00:01:12]

We could watch every liar[00:01:14]

Rise to wave it[00:01:15]

Here[00:01:17]

We learn america like a script[00:01:17]

Playwright[00:01:19]

Birthright[00:01:20]

Same thing[00:01:20]

We bring[00:01:21]

Ourselves to the role[00:01:22]

Were all rehearsing for the presidency[00:01:24]

I always wanted to be[00:01:26]

Commander in chief[00:01:27]

Of my one woman army[00:01:28]

But I can envision the mediocrity[00:01:33]

Of my finest hour[00:01:36]

Its the failed america in me[00:01:38]

Its the fear that lives[00:01:42]

In a forest of stone[00:01:44]

Underneath the corporate canopy[00:01:46]

Where the sun[00:01:48]

Rarely[00:01:48]

Filters[00:01:49]

Down[00:01:50]

And the ground[00:01:51]

Is not so soft[00:01:52]
