lyrics

if only there were more love than money changing hands nowadays
glory over fame always
social evolution slash love revolution
after the love is gone then restitution is rewarded
down to the sordid details and assorted fine print
every last cent was spent before the money changed hands
whether it be bad finances or bad romance
the two seem as if they were parallel factors
solely designed to keep people in line
criminal neglect of the beautiful mind
blind faith is the genesis of the bind
faith is a key, but you must see all the opportunities
the forest, the trees
every degree
the arm leg leg arm head that is cherished individually

totally caught up
totally out of look
totally in pain
totally insane
totally with a doubt
totally spaced out
(i know a few understand what i'm talking about)

stepped out the front door and the rain followed
meditated that it'll be better tomorrow
manifest those visions with such precision and clarity
on some clockwork regularity
optimism is a temporary wisdom
unique ability to see the full prism and take it all in
let's begin, shall we?
at The Epicenter's where i'll be
listing the devil within the details sort of as a hobby
but not for a living
both unforgiven and forgotten in one fell swoop
duck soup
enough for the whole group to partake in
another forsaken ritual of a naturally habitual type routine
scenesters minus the scene
hands that are strangling whatever's between

totally caught up
totally out of look
totally in pain
totally insane
totally with a doubt
totally spaced out
(i know a few understand what i'm talking about)

selective directive
operational
multitask master type situational
like a watcher and a pusher combined
vision of a future this mind designed on some Pollock
a beautifully abstract mess
dot connection from a man obsessed
super manic
heroic the moment before stoic
rapper like Charles Bukowski was a poet
novel ideas, embrace the fear
America still needs volunteers
look at what's happening on the streets
start a revolution with or without beats by speaking
teaching the concise and coherent
facts that normally are readily apparent
yet easily ignored
fully unexplored
unadored
the facts we cannot afford to neglect
respect to the unhinged
living off the fringe benefits of a binge
swoon in the midst of too much too soon
the bag in the wind
the red balloon
play it where it lies without compromise
one who approaches and plans to improvise is a free man
the main street exile
high quality in a low profile

totally caught up
totally out of look
totally in pain
totally insane
totally with a doubt
totally spaced out
(i know a few understand what i'm talking about)
