Benefit - Pocket Change lyrics

[Intro] I'm trying (no you're not) I'm trying [Hook] Trying to yes we can hope for change Trying the best we can, broke, unpaid Dying to yes we can hope for change But that's about it, that's about it Trying to yes we can hope for change Trying the best we can, broke, unpaid Dying to yes we can hope for change But that's about it, that's about it (Try harder) [Verse 1] Trying to yes we can hope for change we can believe in Diving in hopes, what day will we see them? Realized, peeling eyes back, silly demons Feel a wide smack? Why's that? See I'm breathing Got a fat stack of nothing grub, plate's all gla** On a fast track to f**ing up, but stay on blast Trading up some liberty so love might last No courage in that misery, but some might laugh and say Bleezy, why you give a sh** bout that? Its OK, I'm out of reasons so I sh** out gla** and pray I clown easy but my grips on task today f** these petty a**holes I'm past that stage [Hook] Trying to yes we can hope for change Trying the best we can, broke, unpaid Dying to yes we can hope for change But that's about it, that's about it Trying to yes we can hope for change Trying the best we can, broke, unpaid Dying to yes we can hope for change But that's about it, that's about it (Why don't you try harder?) [Verse 2] The machine's an impossible opponent It's something o'clock in the morning I'm rocking in shock and I'm moaning My body's floating from the proper potion In a purity haze, a state sanctioned security exchange So now tap water's strange with a poisonous strain A nation of slaves just clanking our chains I'm the escapist, aiming to rape the rapists Breaking basics with a shameless haste Paint your face courageous Let me see your f**ing warface! Damn that's a poor case, so of course I'm late You're not ready You must enrage the bull Pop a Limitless pill, get the brain gauge on full (I'm trying) [Hook] Trying to yes we can hope for change Trying the best we can, broke, unpaid Dying to yes we can hope for change But that's about it, that's about it Trying to yes we can hope for change Trying the best we can, broke, unpaid Dying to yes we can hope for change But that's about it, that's about it (You're not trying, a little more effort please)
