Sage Francis - Damage 96 (Live on 09.3 WRIU) lyrics

I'm all by myself sittin' thinkin' what the f** happened? Where the hell I go wrong, I'm tryin' to be strong But when I flex my muscles cramp and tighten They got my frightened And in a war The kind I used to always win before But now it's different Victories are hard to come by There's early d**h for young guys But everyone dies so they say, "Hmmm" But I ain't no exception My mortal force lost support, they're vulnerable with no protection I walk the tight rope, thinkin' that I'll be saved by a net if I fell, slipped And almost get sent to Hell I don't wanna pull no life threatening stunts Without thinking it over more than once Which is often Choose your coffin Unless you don't plan to die What kind of man am I? Learn your lessons and k** the questions I find an answer from within f** the color of my skin, forget my freedom of religion Everyone knows our violent history from the books We're war mongers, rapists, racists and culture crooks It ain't no mystery But it ain't all in black and white, society is littered with grays And I'm tryin' to gain some insight Some believe a species of another kind On the other hand we got people who are acting like they color blind What's America? Melting pot or tossed salad? Toss the ballot out your mouth by now of course it's invalid And don't make no difference If anything it hurts our progress Take it to congress Everything's such a long process Nothing's efficient I used to strive to towards being perfect But there's so much worthlessness in this world it just ain't worth it I've come to this conclusion We're livin' an illusion We slaughter guys cause we can't Organize Konfusion Resulting in a conspired genocide Kinda makes me want to pick up my sword and put my pen aside To do damage Uh Damage Uh
