Jobs and the Economy

There’s so much more to life than jobs and the economy

I say it with my whole chest and I make no apologies

Life should be enjoyable even if you’re unemployable

Make peace with this mantra and you’ll be undestroyable

You can call it socialism, but I call it being human

What good is your cash if you’re not going to use it

To treat yourself every once in a Blue Moon

To vanilla ice cream and hot fudge on a spoon

To a movie theater flick filled with kung fu kicks

To a river boat date with your favorite blond chick

The suits chuckle it off like a Facebook Nazi

Hitting the laugh react button for a child’s dead body

Smoldering with ashes from an Israeli rocket bomb

About five seconds after crying for his mom

Lacking empathy is the weirdest flex I’ve heard

Suits are like serial killers plucking feathers off a bird

Then they play the victim when nobody wants to work

For a boss who keeps order by going berserk

Flipping burgers and making fries is not an identity

And being unemployed doesn’t make you my enemy

Capitalism’s made up, we pulled it out of our asses

We put random-ass people in random-ass classes

This dude is rich and the other’s dirt poor

This chick’s a prostitute, but this bootlicker’s a whore

It didn’t have to be this way, but we passively accepted

The whole damn story so that we cannot be rejected

By a society that never gave one single shit

If you’re down on your luck, passed out in the pit

Define Me


VERSE 1
Out of the darkness and into the light
Got a brand new lease on my own life
No longer will you define my happiness
With over the top dramatic campy shit
If you choose to walk past and ignore
I choose not to agonize about it anymore
I’m the only one who defines who I am
My high self-esteem is my business brand

CHORUS
Never again will I defend
Bringing my sanity to an end
Never again will you define
What goes on in my damn mind

VERSE 2
Sex is a battle and love is a war
Fighting’s all that shit is good for
Don’t need your seal of approval
Mark that shit for its removal
Sick of trying to impress you
Of you berating the things I do
I got my own soul, go get yours
Then walk on right out of the door

EXTENDED CHORUS
Never again will I defend
Bringing my sanity to an end
Never again will you define
What goes on in my damn mind
Never again, never again X2

VERSE 3
I don’t mean to be bitter or stone cold
I’m just not a hostage for you to hold
I’m not a prisoner of your expectations
I’m the leader of my own destinations
Don’t need to be thin, don’t need to smile
Don’t need to chat bullshit for a while
Don’t need to spend money on shiny rocks
Won’t be defined by the needs of my cock

EXTENDED CHORUS
Never again will I defend
Bringing my sanity to an end
Never again will you define
What goes on in my damn mind
Never again, never again X4
