Ancestor (there will be)<\/a><\/p>\n

I know that it is time
\nI feel it all the time
\nBuilt into my design
\nI give it all to you
\nAll of it can go
\nAll the face\u2019s glow
\nthe evening of the show
\nThe dream is our feed
\nA cut and pasted breed
\ndying to reseed
\nAgain the crowd will drown
\nthe faces on the ground
\nBlinging on their knees<\/p>\n

On Saturday night
\nWe gathered to the light
\nThe casts of past felt right
\nThe current disappoints
\nThe streaming leads to streams
\nof seaming scene to scenes
\nThe never-ending dream
\nHow will we evolve
\nthe apathy dissolve
\nRound and round and round revolve
\nMy calling card is lost
\nin the coming holocaust
\nand its sounding trump exhaust<\/p>\n

I close the shades, try not to breath
\nI call my mom, try not to see
\nI fold my hands, I cannot hear
\nmy ancestor inside of me
\ntelling me, \u201cDear, that\u2019s not fruit
\nhanging from our family tree\u201d
\nDrowned out by the wisdom of an mp3\u2019d
\n\u201cLet it be, let it be, let it be\u201d
\nFucking humanity
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

My sister wants me to stop
\nTurn myself into the cops
\nI pop back the pop pop pop
\nThe gun feels natural in my hand
\nLet freedom ring from the farm
\nover anxiety\u2019s alarm
\nWe chugalug the lucky charm
\nThere\u2019s a pill for everyone
\nPass the cup down to your son
\nthe barrel of monkeys in your gun
\nShoot out into outer space
\nInsure the human race
\na universe to displace
\n
\nI close the shades, try not to breath
\nI call my mom, try not to see
\nI fold my hands, I cannot hear
\nmy ancestor inside of me
\ntelling me, \u201cDear, that\u2019s not fruit
\nhanging from our family tree\u201d
\nDrowned out by the wisdom of an mp3\u2019d
\n\u201cLet it be, let it be, let it be\u201d
\nFucking humanity
