Mindtrip
It’s so easy to want something else
Not realizing that you have something great
And I can’t understand how it could be so bad
I can’t take it
And I can’t understand how it could be so bad
I can’t take it
I held my tongue
Now I’ll say something else catastrophic
It’s all gone to hell
And I can’t understand how it could be so bad
I can’t take it
And I can’t understand how it could be so bad
I can’t take it
Feel it open inside

High on the Hog
The frustration at our failing nation
We’re all to blame.
We have failed ourselves.
Baited to hate
What side on the debate?
It’s not too late?
Will it forever end this way?
Monetized, mesmerized, sexualized, and zombified
Police hate crimes
Against all non-whites
They won't indict
A man is choked to death in plain sight
How can you deny?
The video don’t lie
There’s no difference
between black or white?
Horrified, hypnotized, sacrifice, wrong from right?
You’re high on the hog
While the rest of us are lost in the fog
You’re high on the hog
While the rest of us are lost in the fog
Cross the line, throw aside, one at a time, with blood shot eyes
You’re high on the hog
While the rest of us are lost in the fog
You’re high on the hog
While the rest of us are lost in the fog
We’re all fucking hogs
Watch as we trudge like pigs to the slop
We’re high on the hog
Watch as we root our nose in the trough
It’s cool, I’m just doing god’s work for you
Hey, you’re not like me
Hatred towards you
It’s cool, I’m just doing God’s work for you
I don’t like what you believe
hatred towards you
It’s cool, I’m just doing God’s work for you
A veil we hide behind
How dare yours be so different than mine?
A veil we hide behind
Through it all we'll be just fine
Maybe then you’ll realize
I’m doing God’s work this time
Outright refusal to discuss differences with you
It’s cool, I’m just doing God’s work for you
That sure is a lot of blind trust
Hatred towards you
It’s cool, I’m just doing God’s work for you
A veil we hide behind to justify all of the crimes
A veil we hide behind
Through it all we'll be just fine
Maybe then you’ll realize
I’m doing God’s work this time
Maybe you’ll finally come around
But ‘god bless’ you if you don’t
I sure as hell won’t
“You’ll wish you’ll did, once you’re in the ground”
“No, I probably won’t”
It’s cool, It’s cool, It’s cool
God can do his own work now
A veil we hide behind
Through it all we'll be just fine
Maybe then you’ll realize
I’m doing God’s work this time
