The solipsistic human
Left all of this in ruins
I'm older than I look - I'm younger than I act
I even once wrote a book about covering my tracks
But I could never just relax, so I never wrote it down
So it's somewhere in my head where I watch it float around
I take no pride in my process, the ultimate "is what it is"
Since man first took what wasn't his, I've been hunting with
The intent of gathering for distribution
A little problem, a big solution, less intuition, more institution
Introducing the solipsistic human
Left all of this in ruins
I gotta tell you- those politicians knew what they were doing,
Recruiting the solipsistic human
Known to exist solely on a feedback loop of
Extremely unlikely and somewhat satisfied
Finding the courage to tell you he's courageous
In the face of unrelenting cowardice
While ignoring the mirror's insistence that the face
Is his own
I'm the type of dipshit
To use words like solipsistic
My worldview is so holistic
Unless I need to be optimistic
Pessimistic, half full of myself
But I'll readily drink your cup of tea
Everyone will just agree (with me) if you leave it up to me
The fucks are free
But I charge for the blanket and pills
While you sit in a cage made of minimum wage
As the pendulum sways and I'm getting a raise
To be a cog in the wheel that is crushing you
See, the time and the place for opining on race
Is when I'm in a space for defining what's safe
So when I get a taste of the violence you face
I escape through policy that abandons you
Climate change my mind - climate keep the change
I think outside the box, but no thoughts outside Tiananmen Square
Stare - drifting through my ipad
Where my amygdala gets hijacked
Til I take on personas so do me the honor
Of applying my performative eye black
Limiting opportunity - to guarantee an outcome

Until one intolerant and intolerable jackass is given the press room
Eagerly selling fear as a precursor to... protection
