Backlash

HeadStrong

this is not right, the shallow sight of the dutiful


i love them all cuz they're so ugly and beautiful


immutable and given to fits, you avarice is cavernous


it's clear for me to see that you were made for this


we've been blessed by the angel of success and stress


and this is nothing compared to what we're gonna get


i'm breaking out of this coast to coastal


in five ticks i'm going global and postal





pace yourself, brace yourself


you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback


you're never gonna believe what you see


this is a new day and you're the big winner

before my eyes, life passed me by, i found myself


a veil has been pulled away and things look big today

it's like a riddle designed to make you feel little


and lost and always pulling back to the middle


your mind is victimized, baptized, chastised, ostracized


being cool is a compromise.


cue the backlash, heaven helps the ones who rehash


and nevaloutionaries looking through your old trash


i'm going out of my way to put you back on the shelf


you must contain yourself and entertain yourself





but all is not lost, given the cost you gotta have a firm plan


the way is littered with shams and also rans running to fall


and done in with a wrecking ball, who never question anything at all this conciousness is sublime


and we are numbed by the passage of time,


these motherfuckers are suckers, it's a crime


we are a blight of bottled water and cannon fodder


you need an 18 year old wife and a 19 year old daughter





pace yourself brace yourself


you've been so good to me so just consider this a payback


you're never gonna believe what you see


this is a new day and you're the big winner
