Don't Ask
02:29

He doesn’t ask because he doesn’t want to know more
He doesn’t ask because he doesn’t care about you
He doesn’t ask because he doesn’t think you could say no
He became a fine invention, but are you
Prepared for the work that
Tools do?
Excavation
Demands
Reclamation
Do you, do you
Do you notice the effort?
Do you, do you
See him making it, too?
Do you, do you
Do you notice the effort?
Do you, do you, do you?
Do you, do you
Do you notice the effort?
Do you, do you
See him making it, too?
Do you, do you
Do you notice the effort?
Do you, do you, do you?
Is he, is he, is he making an effort?
Is he, is he, is he making an effort?
Is he, is he, is he making an effort?
Is he making an effort?
Is he making an effort?
Is he making an effort?

GUNS!

It's not an inevitability
Instead: predictability
Who was it this time?
How many this time?
(Too many, too much)
I don't want your thoughts and prayers
I don't want a good guy with a gun
It's still a gun
I don't want to need protection
I don't want a good guy
If there's still a smoking gun
I don't want to read the news today
(No, no, no, no)
But it will find me some other way
(It always does)
Where was it this time?
How young were they this time?
(Too many, too much)
It's not an inevitability
(Say it again)
It's not an inevitability
(Say it again)
Say it again, say it again
Say it again, say it:
Too many, too much
Too many, too much
I don't want your thoughts and prayers
I don't want a good guy with a gun
It's still a gun
I don't want to need protection
I don't want a good guy
IT'S STILL A F------ GUN!
All I want is fewer guns (DUH!)
All I want is fewer guns (DUH!)
No more guns
No more guns
No more guns
No more guns
No more guns!

Building Blocks
01:25
|
|||
Your edifice is a monologue
Cities grow dull from your sightly din
A conversation involves listening
The skyline now your soliloquy
Intransigence and eviction
Luxury, out of reach
Your advertised opulence deceives
While paving in place of community
Building blocks should be left for a child
Building blocks should be left to an architect
Building blocks should be left for a child
Building blocks should be left to an architect
Left for a child
Left to an architect

Dr. Pepper

Oh, professor
What's in my grasp
Is in your heart and mind a lot
Doesn't matter that I'm
Only a stranger on the bus
Oh, professor
What's on my mind or on my screen
Doesn't seem to meet the
Caring that you need
Well, feel what you need to feel, Dr. Pepper
Feel what you need to feel, Dr. Pepper
Oh, professor
What you confess is what it seems:
You're bursting at the seams
Oh, the porousness you said that you feel
Feel it flooding in
Sopping like a sponge
Well, feel what you need to feel, Dr. Pepper
Feel what you need to feel, Dr. Pepper
Feel what you need to feel, Dr. Pepper
Feel what you need to feel, Dr. Pepper
Do what you need to do, Dr. Pepper
Do what you need to do, Dr. Pepper
To see what you want to see, Dr. Pepper
See what you want to see, Dr. Pepper

You want me to
Listen to you, then please
Say something new
Don’t misconstrue
Logical blight
Your hate ignited, what
Sources I cite
Would calm your needless fight?
You want me
To explicate, it’s
Not complicated
You can’t see
You’ve been debunked
Because you haven’t sought the answers
On your own
You say there’s too few to
Impose a big change on you
You’re scared for what you
Think it means for you
Omneity perceived
Autonomy razed by
Your demanding yet
Unrecognizing gaze
You feel need
To qualify when
She is a woman
Don’t ask me
To justify your
Misogyny
She is a woman
She is a woman
She is a woman
She is a woman
She is a woman
She is a woman
She is a woman
She is a woman

Mull It Over
03:35
|
|||
You never hide your tracks
You make it almost easy to believe
That you won’t get away
Oooh, get away
You never quite became the master of
What you’re selling, yet you’ll
Get away with it
Get away (get away, get away)
Get away (get away, get away, ooh!)
Get away (get away, get away)
You claim to know it all
You claim to have done it all
You brag about your impending downfall
You say you’ll power through
You say you will be vindicated – true
You’ll get away with it
Get away (get away, get away)
Get away (get away, get away, ooh!)
Get away (get away, get away)
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Mull it over
Mull it over
Mull it over
You never hold your tongue
You say whatever’s running through your mind
And you won’t let it go – ever let it go
You never feel you get the credit
That you are due, but you
Deny it when you do
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
Great is not good
