Wasn't lookin for a villain but I think I found one
Partner in crime to fence my heart and hold me up with Cupid's handgun
Been thriftin words in hope that I might find an appropriate expression
You've gifted verse and melody in form of joy and inspiration
Lookin back, was it ever a question?
If I stay the track, does that make you the exception?
Would you hold my hand, together learn life's lessons?
If I make you laugh, is that not the point of creation?
Stayin busy stayin focused and I la la la along
Then my old lady swoop me up and force me to write this song
Most other men would shy away from vigilance of higher ground
I let my heart give chase and my ball and chain was never found

Irrelevance

I feel irrelevant in every aspect of my life
Never wanted answers as much as I needed closure
A desperation move, I threw my chips on an all-in
When heart and soul lose focus and drift to full disclosure
Never wanted comfort, merely needed contact
There goes the content spirit I'm never gonna get back
Validation for the countless hours that I've spent
Hunched over empty canvas, working to be relevant
Whoever had a clue that making it would be so hard?
Without ample work ethic, you'll never get that green card
I'm feeling like I'm lost at sea
Just wandering so aimlessly
Step back to watch this scenery unfold

I was raised in a country where the rich consume the poor
A life of disparity
You watch and wonder, "Could I ever change anything?"
So you sit back and listen as the strong weed out the meek
Without the funds, you'll never fix anything
What is your purpose?
A world where I am proud to bear young, not this place
We dream of a better world, a place where we can find peace
We know the difference between insanity and trying to plead a case
We're told the melody was ringing false before, until it starts ringing true again
One old skeleton key will never open doors to a better life just around the bend
So many people will discover that the wolves don't cover well
They'll eat your income, your hopes and desires
It isn't science, they reap everything for themselves
And call it progress
We dream of a better world, a place where we can find peace
We know the difference between insanity and trying to plead a case
We're told the melody was ringing false before, until it starts ringing true again
One old skeleton key will never open doors to a better life just around the bend
If you never look around, you'll never see
What's really going down with you and me

We've all got our hobbies, mine's playing guitar
I love playing rugby, but that won't get me far
I can't pay my bills if my limbs all get broke
I need health insurance, but I drink and I smoke
I hope I'm alive to see the day
The pleasure that I find in such tiny things
It's part of the reason that I dance when I sings
Can't argue with loving me everyday life
I spend all my spare time enjoying no strife
I hope I'm alive to see the day
I just can't bother asking for a helping hand
I'll be okay on my own
Own, own, help me

If I were out there, giving up my life
For those who don't care, I'd say it's not right
We're fighting false wars, extremist soundbites
For fat old rich bores sending (soldiers) to die
One death is a tragedy, one million's a statistic
It's all a comedy of epic proportions
The unknown thousands we'll never mourn for
The ones we did send return from horror
The scars which they bear so we can live free
The feds just don't care about our civil liberties
One death is a tragedy, one million's a statistic
It's all a comedy of epic proportions
Restore the fourth (Give me back my rights)
Don't make us mourn (An empty sacrifice)
The military spending is out of control
The troops they're sending to scatter the whole
Martial law declared, combatant citizenry
I would be more scared, but it don't affect me
