about

from the 'mixtape' "A Working Class Hero (Is Something To Be)"

lyrics

going Alex Row with the flow
rogue captain combating stereo apathy
if you don't care be aware
getting hands on with a plan to repair the culture
blue collar shadetree poet
soloist so I must go it alone
known to be the catalyst of an even unknown
I worked while they watched the throne
hell, I was watching too
visceral peripherals caught them watching you
spotted like a dalmation
so I've gotta play Cruela DeVille going in for the kill
mixed business for the stormy weather
from now until the 12th of never
once again it's time to settle my ties
just like every time I close my eyes

next step movement for improvement
reality for modern amusement
karmic reward confusion
what have I done to deserve this?
why am I nervous?
lip service in times in divine manner
holding a blood-stained banner
frontline survivor
hitting high scores in the middle of an Arcade Fire
an arsonist with asbestos skin
I don't even understand the shape I'm in
self's reflection
connection is made
some parts fade to black
what remains picks up the slack automatic
so there you have it
label me an addict of momentum
story goes on
the human addendum
