Celebrities, Role models trying to fit in
This perpetual vehicle fueled directly by chagrin
Obsolete now, says the capitalistic cow
Where is my skin locked within pixels and resolution?
Got them thinking when is there ever gonna be a solution
Never they say, locked behind our glass displays
How can we connect unless we rip the fourth wall today?
Jump off our stages and break the characters we portray
Then the negativity would disappear
No more kids reciting commercial rap while parents drown away in beer
Because power is ridiculous, even more the hands it’s in
Stupidity is your middle name if you don’t realize it’s within
Yourself, your soul, can scream out loud and stand against
This path we are being lead down, I hope you might have sensed
Most of the time we aren’t in control of what goes on
Dollars and coin chess board, all we get is a pawn
King’s screaming get off my lawn, god forbid I’m in front
No real collar around my neck, grinding with all the grunts
Sippin away on my freedom, knowing they got their finger on delete
While rewarding those brown noses suckling on the power tit
Going to see an artist because his name was in bold letters
Wage setters for fame, late night regretters with pain
Raised money for reasons that are exactly the same
Aims of the rockstars, claiming to tell the truths they proclaim
While I’m sitting back laughing, doing the math and graphin
How many people enjoy the music or pissed kickin the staff in
Some stay within the bars which are locking them to sin
Multiple personality dancing away, Ignorance is bliss twin,
From alpha to omega, begin to fin
Corporate Heads Laughin’
