Venting Stream of Consciousness!
I am not sorry.
Let me be the instigator
The damn rhythm annihilator
I'll burst your eardrums
Takes you on a trip around the slums
So you can see how we treat the bums
of society
Then you can deny the reality
Throwaway culture
Haute couture
Brand new smartphone
Same old ringtone
If you take a picture, it won't last any longer; I'm sorry
Than, experiencing it, not through a lens, don't worry
Got a lovely little black dress
Covering her covert unhappiness
When you see the red light
Don't stop when it's late at night
when you see the bums fight
Don't interrupt; just make light
What if you were the bum on the corner?
What if it was your sister? Would you warm her?
There are a million and one things we can do better
But round and round we go
Where it stops, we all know
We all know
Celebrate the hate
Take the bait
And don't mind me
I'm just venting, you see
I'm just venting
