Adam Gwon - One By One By One lyrics

[WARREN] Good morning! Would you like to take a- Hi! Could I interest you in- Excuse me! A free piece of... STOP! This is for you 'On the road of life let no obstacle, great or small, stand in your way.' Hi. My name is Warren It's another day out here in the metropolis I'm employed, as you might see, as an amba**ador For a very very influential downtown artist whose been featured in the New York Times This guy, he is a genius He paints these pithy sayings all across the city But then he got arrested cause I guess it is illegal and he hired me to watch his cat While he's in jail I have taken it upon myself As someone very dedicated To keep the artist's vision with the people on the street Even though the artist is incarcerated So. I made these flyers With the sayings he once painted on the sidewalks and the walls And one by one by one my duty calls Good morning, sir! Wouldn't you like to brighten up your day- MAN No WARREN Well, these were made especially, but wait- hey mister! Ma'am take a work of art with you today WOMAN Not today, thanks WARREN But it's been created by a- well, screw you! Kindness is a virtue that is oftentimes ignored Ugh. Stop. Breathing, breathing Channeling the energy of positive vibrations Inviting them in one by one by one by one Okay. Here's my frustration The city tends to make me feel invisible Yes, of all the superpowers it's the one I'd like to have But it isn't very handy when you're trying to get noticed as a pioneer of visual art I start my every morning In the thick of all these people with my hopes and dreams restored And one by one by one I get ignored Ugh. It makes me wanna scream Or write a manifesto That declares the city void of any soul Hello! I'd nail it to the lamppost And shout it from the rooftops Loud and clear But who would hear? Huh. Well, that's auspicious And though surely it is not a guarantee Maybe one by one by one by one by one by one by one by one This whole entire city's gonna look at me
