Radicle Majesty

lyrics

We don't care.
We've no flair.
We've just got sounds of pounding snare, snark, and snarl.
Art I'm proud of doesn't come around too often.
How many people do I need telling me I'm great before I start to seriously consider the statements being made?
State of my status? I'm in stasis, but blood might flow if 'they' just paid us. I'd virtually do anything to stay like this with succeeding means.

Radicle majesty,
don't fuck with me!
You can't!
You can't!
You can't!
You can't,
because I'm Brian Boisse!

They want brains.

Radical majesty,
don't look at me.
Your eyes are gibes,
and I've contrived some words to make the perfect line.

"Line. What's my line again?"
"You're never gonna make it, no, you're never gonna make it, kid."
"Line. What's my line again?"
"You're never gonna make it kid, until you take the time to snort a line off of this stripper's tits."

Dim sum.

What's this? Not a closing argument?
You never were too good at those conclusions, boy.
Sifting through words you've spoken only to find that you never had opinions for a goddam thing.

But at least you've made it, or at least maybe you've stated that you're doing what you're suppose to.
Say "to" too much and naturally continue to.
You're on a track, man.
Steering makes a fool of you.

Am I product that the president is proud of, a privileged parasite parading around like a prophet?

Probably.

I mean, I certainly do hope so.

I want to be the creative-type, but I know just what I really am.

Everybody has one thing that they're good at.
Babe, I didn't do it, cuz I didn't wanna do it. I knew it wouldn't be conducive to my general needs.
Babe, I didn't do it, cuz I didn't wanna do it. I knew it wouldn't be conducive to my general needs.
I think it happened, yo, exactly what I feared. I allowed this loneliness to turn me extra weird.
And if I choose to make a move I'll keep my creep to frequencies beneath the screech of generally the needs of creeps cuz they ain't deep.
I didn't have anyone to impress for like a year, and so I allowed the loneliness to turn me extra weird, but now I'm, now I'm stuck.
I ain't deep either.
You're ugly when you're not wearing any makeup.
And if I choose to make a move I'll keep my creep to frequencies beneath the screech of generally the needs of creeps cuz I ain't deep.
I ain't deep.
This beat is aggressive.
This beat is aggressive.
I'm gonna watch some more Breaking Bad now.
