Sole And The Skyrider Band - A Sad Day For Investors lyrics

Whoever bellows the loudest the victor Who ain't bucking shots at they shadows already fallen When the time comes it'll be to my surprise We smashed the clocks and joined the flocks just to watch doves gunned down from above And you want it all, ideal wrapped in plastic Fresh air comes free with it Make sure that the alkaline levels are permanent Drop us in, hold us to the flame Tell us our new cities will be far cleaner than the old ones And you the type to move to an island of birds and trees When the birds are gone, you won't have enough wood to build a boat and sail home So when they find you, and ask you what happened, its real simple "Get rich or die trying." Now I'm back in the swing of things Like strange fruit in their good old days in Georgia Like gypsies with baseball bats that beat us to a pulp, I see it now And they can say rapping won't change anything... Its not my fault words and morals hollowed out And if we live "we live to thread on kings", and if we die we die only lonely and forgotten If I ever make it to heaven, I hope they have a wireless connection Where have I been? In the bathtub reading Harper's Things got much worse, but I'm chilling... To cool to draw blood over life and it trivialities I'll watch the Earth crack open, you'll fall in Running around in purgatory looking for batteries When the last buzzard eats the last candy bar from the last body on the San Andreas... It'll be a sad day for investors I'm of the Earth, like methane and sulfuric acid I can't trespa** Universal like radiation and freezing in the cosmos Older than I feel, and easy going like anvils Easy going like anvils that crush us while dancing Pity me and American city With high rent and neighbors that always b**h at the volume No one understands, and if they understand they understand too well Its a toss up, walk free to the finish, or flog up and down the gauntlet Some day I'll make a fine president I can tell by the way they throw stones I can tell by the way I struggle for words, and the way the cookie crumbles before they get to eat They say they care, but it's clear they don't They say there's nothing to fear, but I know better Running from obscurity and shoveling sh** On some heavy d**, in some heavy book The sky too, heavy, like crystallized smog Cutting up my lungs and wishing I was dead, but I can't die yet All my dents are in the dust And I'm still punished by virtues I worked so hard to shed My wife and my dogs is all I have What you wanna take from me, my credit card debt? Let the chips fall and crash the soles of our feet
