lyrics

while these other fucks were sitting I was working like a man, thinking waiting on fate I could never understand, if my destiny's determined by the lines inside my hand, Im'a grab a fucking razor and carve some new plans, see they want me in that cycle, stuck on the grind, while the 2 on television keep my 3rd eye blind, but I respectfully decline, I've got ambitions of my own, no you'll never see me sitting let them lobby for the thrown, while they're trying to say they're kings, I'm trying to stay above the board used, I fed you facts on every track and now I think it's your move, life should never bore you, don't let them live it for you, staring at the mirror screaming sorry I ignored you, til the glass breaks and I ain’t worried if it's full or not, I'm trying to flood the world with shit that can't no fucking bullet stop, these ideas will never die you need to learn to listen, the truth ain't hard to hear you just don't like the answer given

They say it's all about your communication
Now can you tell me what's a holla cost
They say it's all about your dedication
So don't you worry about the dollar cost
They say it’s all about your education
Now can you tell me what’s a holocaust
They say the future is your destination
Whether you wanna be involved or not

I guess I’m that solo sheep conversating with a flock of wolves, like all you do is hunt and eat but how to live you'll never know, I'd rather die than just survive, I can't treat life like just a ride, he never liked the devil but my God was one for compromise, I'm stretching every second checking every question’s answer, to me it seems the people are too comfortable as cancer, those basic fucks I’ll shake em up, it’s not that noise that wakes them up, it’s more the silent violent thoughts deep underneath the banter, it’s more the seconds peace that make you understand the rancor, the way of things brings subtle that tends to numb the senses, and our disdain for chasing change has crippled our defenses, so now we sacrifice our lives to pay for our expenses, and though they swear it’s fair I have to say that I resent it, our fathers followed every step and ended up demented, forgetting in their fleeting time that energy is rented, so when your forced to pay the debt then how will you have spent it

They say it's all about your communication
Now can you tell me what's a holla cost
They say it's all about your dedication
So don't you worry about the dollar cost
They say it’s all about your education
Now can you tell me what’s a holocaust
They say the future is your destination
Whether you wanna be involved or not

(Frank Zappa Interview Sample)
Q. What makes you really angry?
A. The exultation of ignorance, that really makes me mad.
Q. In what ways are people ignorant and how should they be-
A. Well remember I said the exultation of ignorance, when you celebrate ignorance you make it the national standard.
Q. In what ways is it celebrated?
A. It’s celebrated in all records that achieve massive airplay on the radio, all television sitcoms. Most films and most commercials, and also in schools. American schools do not equipt you to deal with things like logic, they don't give you the criteria by which to judge between good and bad in any median or format, and they prepare you to be a usable victim for a military industrial complex that needs manpower. As long as you’re just smart enough to do a job, and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you’re gonna be alright.
