Everything is covered in ants They pour out of my walls and make me answer their demands Yet you still insist I give them a chance While I kindly sit and listen to your sycophantic rants go on and on The ants are charging a fee So I can live inside and have a space belong to me Yet there's no reason it shouldn't be free Cause the ants don't even live here, they just leave to feed there queen And the market overflows, with folks who can't afford their clothes The market only knows, who lives, who dies, who blows their nose Everything is there on my lease The ants come a la carte and can claim anything they see (It kinda) feels like something from a bad dream But I'm never waking up because the ants are pinching me and I'm still here The ants, they covet my flesh They say that it is perfect for a massive, birthing nest So now, I come to find I'm possessed The ants pick throaugh my veins until I'm bloated and depressed And the market overflows, with folks who can't afford their clothes The market only knows, who lives, who dies, who blows their nose Yeah, I'm sick of living this way This scrounging around every day So I have enough cash to pay The antlords to keep them at bay From nesting themselves in my bones And turning me into their home For all time, my body will roam A husk with no will of its own Yeah, I'm sick of living this way This scrounging around every day So I have enough cash to pay The antlords to keep them at bay From nesting themselves in my bones And turning me into their home For all time, my body will roam A husk with no will of its own

Adderall 01:34
Pump me up with drunk and drugs I wish I understood the way you're moving You're just so damn confusing And I don't get it I don't want that much from life A small apartment just to make my music You might call me a loser But I won't listen I've been avoiding adderall Like it's the plague But in this economy I need the extra focus Hocus pocus, pop the pill to Make it somewhere in this lifetime Got no lifeline When's the revolution coming, and will it call my landline? I don't mind the emptiness The bottle drains like all the rest, diffusing Drip drop, drip drop, I'm boozing So I can smile Under this administration Most are not surprised to find me using Well, it's more like abusing But what's the difference? I've been avoiding adderall Like it's the plague But in this economy I need the extra focus Hocus pocus, pop the pill to Make it somewhere in this lifetime Got no lifeline When's the revolution coming, and will it call my landline? Slow down Take it step by step Day by day, it's okay Nothing's gonna happen in the next few minutes Oh shit, here come the nukes I've been avoiding adderall Like it's the plague But in this economy I need the extra focus Hocus pocus, pop the pill to Make it somewhere in this lifetime Got no lifeline When's the revolution coming, and will it call my landline? I've been avoiding adderall Like it's the plague But in this economy I need the extra focus Hocus pocus, pop the pill to Make it somewhere in this lifetime Got no lifeline When's the revolution coming, and will it call my landline? Oh yeah!

And if you see tomorrow, Would you tell me what it's like to be free? And if you see tomorrow, Would you tell me what it's like to believe? It's not that simple when you're under control Of a 300 foot statue that's a century old And a set of ideals that have grown covered with mold And a group of politicians who are older than gold It's true I'm a little bit blue And if you breathe tomorrow, Would you tell me what it's like to breathe clean? And if you breathe tomorrow, Would you tell me what it's like to be seen? It's not that simple when you're under control Of a 300 foot statue that's a century old And a set of ideals that have grown covered with mold And a group of politicians who are older than gold It's true I'm a little bit blue And if we win tomorrow, Would you tell me what it's like when we've won? And if we win tomorrow, Would you tell me what it's like when we've begun? It's not that simple when you're under control Of a 300 foot statue that's a century old And a set of ideals that have grown covered with mold And a group of politicians who are older than gold It's true I'm a little bit blue It's true I'm a little bit blue
