tpk - The Now lyrics
[Intro] We've come to the end... And what ends eventually begins again... It's an endless cycle... That continues on... Same sh**, different toilet... And I'm sick of explaining it... [Verse 1] Failing economy, people losing jobs Various companies being exposed for fraud On 9/11/2001, we lost the twin towers And don't forget we had the crisis with the electrical power Also the War in Iraq to destablize a country And Bin Laden got k**ed when we lost, um, something Our interest, our money, our progress being stopped Various bills to help out end up being dropped Wrong presidents being picked out all the f**ing time And those presidents are walking very, very, very fine lines Trying to satisfy the public and satisfy themselves And they built a system as far as time can tell So where does corruption end and honesty begin Where does a good dead go and where does a sin? Where does the world start to work and doesn't become broke? And why is there blood on my shirt, seeing really hurts [Interlude 1] You think the now is over? Now is never over It's always continuing motherf**er... If you can't realize that... If you can't realize a fact... Get the f** out jack... [Verse 2] School shooters, didn't start out with Columbine Now it's increasing and we have like 50 at a time They turned it into a meme, these artists they don't see? They all wanna be like mini-me and believe everything All the police officers are beating up minorities And if you flip it around it becomes confusing f**ed up all around, can't even comprehend How secure everything is when it gets broken News coverage wall to wall, it makes people react But I don't know how seriously to take that When stupid comments are made for views and likes When they focus on short-term fame, they become... well... dikes What's cool is pushed by the coporate plants And there's a market for people who piss their pants I know it's sh**, but what the f** can you do? When the world works this way, all you can do is be a fool? [Interlude] Is it never? Or is it now? What's happening now influences the future... If you can't live for now, where's the future? If you live in the past, where's the now? Are you aware of the now? Are you aware of the present times? Are you aware of what's on your mind? [Verse 3] China gon' be the one that starts the eventual cold war UK be f**ing up things, that's for sure Stupid decisions are made at all avaliable times Everybody hates a dictatorship but they're still online United Nations?, more like an after school program Because once they're outside, they don't give a damn They shoot each other up, send tanks to shoot things down Pictures are decieving, you have to be there to frown Thank you Hollywood for believing we could do anything The technolgy you created blurs the line that we've seen Now the whole world is not as it seems Because everybody has an agenda, yes including me But which agenda is good, and which is bad? Is it for humanity, or is it for personal gain, driving me mad Autonomity means no one can influence you Ism means you know the now for what is true [Outro] This has been a special presentation
