Gradient - Valiant lyrics

The things you knew about music best to forget 'em now So release the demons you harbor inside and let 'em out And speed the weekend and come back to Monday only to remember that you spend your whole work week on the denim couch Surrendering the Cheap Trick that comes with your Cracker Jacks Calling 1989 to ask for all the rappers back The regime of Assad committing the highest sin While poli-sci students are sitting reading Leviathan Bill Watterson carefully draws John and Thomas While America falls in love with all of the little comics Took a rope, refined it and made hemp from it The rulebook of reality, he's exempt from it an*lyzing my lyrics with much fluidity A parody, a cryptic tribute, or just stupidity Could be any of the three, perhaps I oughta be Deciding not to fit anywhere in the trichotomy Chorus (Child Actor): ...to suffocate You've got everything Won't you laugh it in You can run away (Valiant) You won't get far (Valiant) You can't get away (Valiant) You won't get far (Valiant) Let me in now Let me in now You could be royalty Let me see the shining ring Behind these palace walls you're climbing out And we'll build our empire And we'll build our empire And we'll build our empire Until the sun never sets up Claiming to be valiant, systematically keeping them Ignorant while CO2 reaches 400 PPM It's strictly procedure, ma'am, don't make a fuss about it Plenty of bipartisan support so you must allow it They keep the buses crowded with commuters and consumers Faces buried in their little glowing telephone computers Wonder if they know how lit up their face looks Wishing old acquaintances happy birthday on Facebook Unnatural selection becoming the h*mo evolutis And rapidly frowning no matter what the current mood is Wondering if this is art like an elephant's painting Very shocking and edgy and you can tell by the fainting Devoting one couplet to try and balance rhymes Like trying to find peace in Israel and Palestine Lennon said he was the walrus, and then said it was Paul And never clarified while Ringo was dead all along [Chorus]
