about

Instrumentals and most lyrics written by Hunter Bruton; original rap lyrics written by Damani Harrison. Damani and I had a fun time recording this piece of dystopian sci-fi conspiracy hip-hop! This is also probably my most Talking Heads-y song ever. The music video is inspired by The Matrix.

lyrics

Can we stand ourselves much longer?
Or are we lost and gone forever?

I don’t know where I’m going
I’m not sure what I’m doing
The truth is, I’m not moving
But I don’t notice

The walls are moving inward
The space is getting thinner
The life is growing shorter
But I don’t notice

The world’s becoming stranger
The people getting weirder
My headache’s getting stronger
But I don’t notice

Repetitive, my life is
Dark and grim, the plight is
And running out, my time is
But I don’t notice

The world, it may be spinning
The rich men may be grinning
My brain it may be slimming
But I don’t notice

The rich men, they will get richer
The poor men will just get poorer
And good men can’t stand the horror
But I don’t notice

The world’s becoming stranger
The people getting weirder
My headache’s getting stronger
But I don’t notice
No, I don’t notice
No, I don’t

Yeah
Before you get your children, I insert a little chip into them
Monitor their every move, we always know what they are doing
They go to school and read only books we’ve issued through a
Process that removes any ideas that we don’t approve of
Every family unit must report to headquarters for the census
The consensus is you’re with us or against us
No arms for the defenseless, you rebel and you get locked away
In dungeons or get bludgeoned by a fatal tesla death ray
Let’s pray to gods that we print on paper currency
We’re currently at odds with enlightened few that urgently
Influence us to broaden our individuality
And adamantly point out all our systematic fallacies

Nothing’s here to see or hear that isn’t clear as glass
But when we choose not to see, we lose the truth that we all lack
No
We all really know
No
But we choose not to show

Can we stand ourselves much longer?
Or are we lost and gone forever?
Can we stand ourselves much longer?
Or are we lost and gone forever?
Can we stand ourselves much longer?
Or are we lost and gone forever?
Can we stand ourselves much longer?
Or are we lost and gone forever?
