Diet Cocaine

Don't say much, I'm willing to let the past talk I'm a big fish in a glass box Everything vivid, with the mask off I'm flipping switches, I'm ready to blast off The past talks but we don't ever listen Always too distracted just to pay attention But I notice patterns, observe the rings of Saturn All your dreams shattered, beaten, torn and tattered You need to marinate, while I serenade Blow the horns, crack the walls, bring down the barricade Squeeze the stand like some lemonade Repave the promenade, feed us aspartame, it's Diet Cocaine Then came the ready rock, changed the whole game Panthers got the cane, wiped them off the stage Turned the Hippies into druggies, countercultures came And went Don't say much, I'm willing to let the past talk I'm a big fish in a glass box Everything vivid, with the mask off I'm flipping switches, I'm ready to blast off We think we have freedom when we don't have shit Throw us in the prisons, shareholders profit A legal slave trade, capitalistic system A free work force bows to every bidding Here's a bushel and a sack, yeah my rent's due With a little interest cause I'm late, too Funny what you do when you have the power Running for the fence come the eleventh hour Burn the fields down watch their money turn to ashes No resources, stock market crashes Pirates on the scene, take the booty and the cream Take the booties, make them scream Take the village and their dreams Don't say much, I'm willing to let the past talk I'm a big fish in a glass box Everything vivid, with the mask off I'm flipping switches, I'm ready to blast off...
