Momma told me this Sitting in her gold vein: Son, listen to the lies if you wanna’ make some change. But It's truth in disguise. Dismantle it, tear it down, disinfect. I’m here to set the standard and burn whatever’s left. Destroy the misconceptions that exist in your head, it’s quite a simple system and it’s all for the bread. Cuz’ all across the world, every state, every town people rise after last nights drowning and shuffle off to work so they can get paid to sell each other shit someone else has made. So find a conference room and pull up a chair, and smile at the head that has the silver hair. He’s mister unknown, the first of many you’ll meet. But first, let’s find out what sort of company he leads. Hey there, I’m Mr. M, I run the business machine. You won’t make your own, so I pay you to make my dream! This world has two types, the alphas and the betas. Some operate the program and others run the data. Let me show you the ropes here at middle class inc., where we’ll let you chew the bone, but keep all of the meat. We have a few rules, first off: don’t try to leave. you’ll have to stay the course if you wanna’ succeed. Number 2, please for the love of god, consume. you need some new speakers so that bass can really go boom. Third, please don’t be disruptive or rude. There’s no system to fight cuz’ there’s no power abused. It’s all a campaign it’s all a campaign If it looks and tastes the same, then it's all a campaign. Just get good grades and work hard in school. You’ll find a good college and I’m sure you’ll be cool. Then you’ll get a good job and buy a house with a pool. And you’ll have kid who’ll be just as smart as you! and you’ll live in a house on a street in the burbs, where the neighbors are friendly and the wine is superb. And once you are eighty and lived your whole life, there will be no regrets, no bad blood, no strife. And if you’ve been faithful, to heaven up above, you’ll live happily ever after up there in the sun. It’s all a campaign it’s all a campaign If it looks and tastes the same, then it's all a campaign. And all we are saying, it’s all a campaign. And all we are saying: when did my ego let me down?

One man sitting on iiiiiisland, one man sitting on moon. One man sitting in the sun, but then again, maybe there's two. Said one man sitting on island, one man sitting off shore.

Well I can feel it like dead air in my lungs It’s something, and I can’t explain it Well I can barely describe it and I would not prescribe it It’s something aaaaaa, and I felt it like mountains growing out of my chest again out of my lungs It’s something in the daily actions it’s like we buy our own ransoms and play each other like pacman
