If you believe in evolution
then you’re part of the solution
cause you know things keep improving
long after your not around
if you believe in evolution
then the dolphins aren’t confusing
and you’re genes are really choosey
right before you crank them out
i believe in evolution
so i wont waste time disputing
whether jesus christ was stupid
cause we all go in the ground
WE have ALWAYS been NOW!
if you believe in evolution
like me you’re bout to lose it
it’s a fact and you can prove it
but in schools it aint allowed
if you believe in evolution
i guess you can keep polluting
since there aint no one refuting
that fact that you’re mind is sound
I believe in evolution
so i can see the future
all creation made to suit you
up until we burn it down
WE have ALWAYS been NOW!
b.
seems we’re all just splitting hairs
getting yours by taking theirs
saying “life just isn’t fair”
but i bet death will make us square
-
WE have ALWAYS been NOW!
I’ve been crawling toward the future
whose stupid, putrid, stupor
could and/or would resemble my own
supersize appetite
right by destruction
an over easy, undercooked
concubine kind conservation
a nation in squalor
that clamors for valor
a value that we savor
only in name, in front of our savior
when he’s around, when he’s around
we’ve cheapened our history
clearly we’ve hiked,high up on a pike
harsh parts of our own identity
get up! get down!
lift your eyes off the ground
this aint no stick up
dont be afraid
we’re only here to be your friend
we’re all crawling toward the future
the truth is truth is useless
just tune in to the news to view whats shooting from
doppler spy satellites
down to the station
to hi-def lo-fi plasma screens
“can we just have a conversation?”
sensation, sells papers
but maybe, our neighbors
aren’t dangerous or crazy
just as scared as anchors make me
when they’re around, when they’re around
i mean like on T.V.
clearly we’ve hiked high up on a pike
harsh parts of our own identity.
I’ve been chasing my tail in circles
been down in this hole,
i’ll never know, when im goin home
the doc dont know for sure
i’ve been doing the same thing
and expecting a different result
they say i am insane
i suspect it’s their fault
got my four padded walls
and a brand new canvas coat
meant to keep my arms crossed
so i don’t feel all alone
dont live without cause
a thought should manifest action
if the past is our teacher
our future will speak to
what we have learned
and what we have learned
is how to treat others,
with respect to ourselves
i believe, they call that
peace of mind
HEY! makin’ money the hard way
talkn’ bout 8 balls and guard rails
sellin’ used cars at yard sales
credit card fraud and home made cookies
HEY! makin’ money the hard way
sellin’ T-shirts as you get of the train
i’m begging for fame, gimme loose change
i’ll tap dance and wash your windows
c. I hope you like to dance, because i wanna get off the wall
I hope you like to dance, because i wanna get my back up off the wall
cause thats where the movement is
EVERYBODY LOVES TO DANCE EXCEPT FOR POLICEMEN
EVERYBODY LOVES TO DANCE EXCEPT FOR THE COPS
HEY! makin’ money the hard way
im on my knees, not prayin’
ride my bike late night spray paintin’
you cant get wet if you stay inside
HEY! makin’ money the hard way
i make my art on cardboard
i got more heart than hardware
fair share spare parts and dialogue
c.
HEY! makin’ money the hard way!

Don’t hold your breath
just to make a point
let go, I’m sure you know,
you like to be conscious
what makes more sense
to be polite?
or to be honest?
whats confidence?
but this sucker selling himself a lie
oh boy what a world
am i hungry or bored
be ignorant or ignored
or both!
that’s our reward so…
BREAK OUT!
Don’t bite your tongue
just in case your wrong
speak up, you thought it up
so it cant be nonsense
expressed consent,
make eye contact,
and use good posture.
fuck consequence
lets all put off whats on our backs
oh gee what a scene
are we greedy or green
fossil fuels everything
like grief
but stealing is free so…
BREAK OUT!
Don’t turn your cheek
just to save your skin
get hurt! for what its worth
you just might learn something
your self respect,
and your instincts,
should be responsive
Be violent!
the antidote for hoping not to think
Oh boy what a world
am i eager? of course
my hands are fearless but forced
and worse
wielding a sword so…
BREAK OUT!
