lyrics

Strafer Jack said not to waste his time,
Any day you don’t wake up dead is going fine.

Hidin’ the family dollar
Underneath the folds of his collar

Couldn’t spot his worth above the grime.
Noble birth don’t need no shine.

And he’s stalkin’ their tracks
Launching Ponzi attacks
You can see how how it pains them

Lying flat on his back
Said he’s not coming back
When they come to restrain him

Don’t you scour his mind
There’ll be nothing you find
He’s too far elevated

High as raw sugar flights
No true mindful insights
Can’t you see he’s elated?

He don’t know the difference:
Between patience and lack of persistence.
Between breaking your heart and showing resistance.
Between rowing too far and going the distance.
Between showing a card and folding the mission.

Amy Black set hopes not far behind,
Mystic tropes, by golly we are aligned.

She said the soul should glow whole-hearted now,
Sway left, sway right, the desert moon get started now!

And she’s tying the straps,
Setting markable traps—
Gotta keep up protection.

Modern War is a zap,
Don’t rely on the map,
‘Cause it’s just a projection.

Maybe you’d understand
If I laid out my hand
Exorcised all your fury.

No it couldn’t be me
You’ll just wait and you’ll see:
It’s your own insecurity!

She don’t know the difference:
Between sick in the soul and nobody listenin’
Between keeping your cool and curbing ambition
Between changing your stars and morbid insistence
Between being polite and genuine interest

‘Cause it makes no difference:
If you’re holding the line or breaking their wishes
If you roll with the made or sleep with the fishes
When you shine on the pitch, there’s always a victim
If you’re cold in the heart, you’re shaming the system
