Billionaires In Space
03:28
|

Isolated and all alone
Get self-help books dropped off by drone
Billionaires in space
Pay no mind to the rising rent
Just spread the word through the underpass tents
Billionaires in space
Seas are rising and and you got no home
They don’t pay no taxes and we’re on our own
Billionaires in Space
Looking for a saviour cause times are tough
Just drop to your knees and look straight up
At the Billionaires in space
While we work for them and break our backs
They’re playing dress-up in a cowboy hat
launching high above their desert base
Is one big middle finger from the Billionaires in Space
People kick startin’ for their insulin
Down from the top they call it tricklin’
Billionaires in Space
Down here on earth so many need a hand
So somebody tell me why the hell we have
Billionaires in space
When they lose we bail them out again
But when they win they’re libertarians
Launching high above their desert base
Is one big middle finger …
From the billionaires in space
One small step for mankind to a living wage
Instead we’re living through a second gilded age
Time has come now won’t you join me as we raise
our collective middle finger to the billionaires in space

Confusion
03:37

Confusion Is bringin’ me down
Shapes wanna shift, squares all around
Illusion, every look is a stare and
The prints that I’m tracking match the shoes that I’m wearing
And it’s rollin’ over
And it’s rollin’ over me
And it’s rollin’ over
Confusion, can’t remember the plan
Off the top of my head, like the back of my hand
Conclusions stumbled upon
Find all the answers then come down and they’re gone
And it’s rollin’ over
And it’s rollin’ over me
And it’s rollin’ over
And it’s rollin’ over
And it’s rollin’ over me
And it’s rollin’ over
Confusion, climbing walls that are breathing
The thing they exhale is the truth but misleading
Exclusion, can’t seem to get it together
In the same boat but we all got our own weather
And it’s rollin’ over
And as far as I can see
Oh it’s rollin’ over
Rollin’ over me

Gatekeeper

Hey gatekeeper, tell me what you wanna see
How many times I gotta walk your line before you take a look at me
Oh Gatekeeper you give it all to your friends
They pat your back, keep you in the black, nothing changes in the end
Your high comes from keeping others low
You find the parts but you’re never gonna see the whole
Hey gatekeeper cut ‘em down so you feel tall
Seeking rent, counting every cent selling ladders by the wall
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
Hey gatekeeper, tell me what’s your role?
Wine and dine, always looking fine in the emperor's new clothes
Oh gatekeeper don’t try to tell me what you know
I had my ten thousand hours in about ten thousand hours ago
Your high comes from keeping others low
You fin d the parts but you’re never gonna see the whole
Oh gatekeeper won’t ever get the message through
Time will come when you know my name but by then I won’t remember you
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own
You got me bleeding like a stone
The deck is stacked the seeds are sown
So I’ll just do it on my own
Do it on my own

Crazy
03:29
|
|||
If you look you’ll find the traces in every page of the book
Something hidden in the places they tell you never to look
Gonna teach you a lesson, gonna put out the fire
Gonna need to keep your voice down while they preach to the choir
So step outside the light that blinds you to maybe
Everybody in your life will tell you you’re crazy
But what do they know
They never stop trying to sell you things you won’t ever need
What they call fallin’ apart looks pretty good to me
And when you come to your senses, when the game’s wearing thin
Once they’ve shown you the fences, what’s left keeping you in
So step outside the light that blinds you to maybe
Everybody in your life will tell you you’re crazy
But what do they know
So turn against the tide that drowns you in safety
Everybody asking why will tell you you’re crazy
But what do they know
What do they know
What do they know

Keep On Comin'
04:53
|
|||
I drove a million miles to find you but I’m just a message on your phone
You’re not looking for a breakthrough while you’re above and I’m below
Every unearned reputation, every crony’s accolade
Been times out of frustration had half a mind to walk away
But I’m gonna keep on comin’
‘Til they put their hands in the air
I’m gonna keep on comin’
‘Til I’m there
Everybody’s got an opinion, everybody wants a say
But I ain’t gonna listen, ‘cuz you’ve just been in my way
I’m gonna keep on comin’
‘Til I see your hands in the air
I’m gonna keep on comin’
I’m gonna keep on comin’
Gonna find another way somewhere
Yeah I’m gonna keep on comin’
Say what you will you know I don’t care
I’m gonna keep on comin’
‘Til I see your hands in the air
Yeah I’m gonna keep on comin'

House On Fire
04:19
|
|||
Wastin time but I can’t ever waste enough
It gets me high but I don’t never touch the stuff
Feel the fire but I can’t shake the creeping rust
Times I try but I just fill my hands with dust
Time has come along at last to face that wall against your back
I’ve been waiting long enough to light it up
Set this house on fire
Set this house on fire
Set this house on fire
I can’t wait no more to light it up
Days march on, months are gone years turn hands to stone
Ticking clock writes your song if you don’t write your own
Groove is a grind every gift becomes a curse
A hundred thousand lines don’t make a single verse
Time has come along at last to face that wall against your back
I’ve been waiting long enough to light it up
Set this House on fire
Set this House on fire
Set this House on fire
I can’t wait no more to light it up
Time has come along at last to face that wall against your back
I’ve been waiting long enough to light it up
Set this House on fire
Set this House on fire
Set this House on fire
I can’t wait no more to light it up

Gone
04:17
|
|||
I know you spend your time with someone else
Got hearts in jars sittin’ on your shelf
Talkin’ bout things you never ever felt
‘til it’s gone
You lost the book that tells you where the gold was kept
Carved your name so many times the wood was wrecked
Can’t help but to give us what we all expect
‘til it’s gone
Complain about the faces on the cards you're dealt
All eyes on you not a single tell
A look behind the curtain really broke the spell
Now it’s gone
Everybody who sees you wants you
Everybody who knows you wants you
Gone
You keep stringin’ everybody along
But you stayed at the party too long
Gone
The days when it was just you alone
Who knew where everybody was wrong
You watch yourself inches from the screen
Searching every frame for what you never been
Last time around will be the first you’ve seen
Where you’ve gone
Ain’t nobody left to heed your beck
It’s way past time but you never checked
The searchin only starts when there’s not much left
Now it’s gone
Everybody who sees you wants you
Everybody who knows you wants you
Gone
You keep stringin’ everybody along
But you stayed at the party too long
Gone
The days when it was just you alone
Who knew where everybody was wrong

Ain't Up To Me
03:00
|

Love is louder than hate
but gimme something to listen to while I wait
Dark ‘fore the break of day
but I can’t see my hand in front of my face
It ain’t up to me
but if it was you’d see
Shepherds say they’re takin’ to the streets
bought and paid for on the last dime of their sheep
We’re not old, just close to the end
Walls run through our backyards we don’t know why we defend
It ain’t up to me
but if it was you’d see
‘Cause the way forward’s clear
we just can’t see it from here.
Spin takes the place of truth
Takes a whole lotta tryin’ just to get a message through
everybody rides...where they should walk
Pay is good but time is short and the whole world’s on the clock
It ain’t up to me
but if it was you’d see
Start now that it’s too late
Hoarded it for yourself, now you talk give and take
Don’t deal ‘til the deck is stacked
Only give a tenth of what you get back
It ain’t up to me
but if it was you’d see
‘Cause if you’re looking to steer
the back seat is right here
‘Cause the way forward’s clear
we just can’t see it from here.
