about

my brother rikshaw laid down this funky fresh laid back downtempo version of one of his favorite songs, title track of this album. the hidden track about 6:42 in iS now unveiled...

lyrics

alling asleep on the couch again
cleaned today and cooked
overlooked stress, caught-up on a book
G left
didn't wanna say goodbye
a good lie she told me when she said goodbye
she thought i was lost while i was lost
in a loss of a thought
inside
joke
outside job
an additional edition of a mouthwide mob
spellable-syllables symbolizing my couch-time nod
thinkin: about-time snobs
eating at high-priced jobs
and night-side robs
by polite-plight squads
pile-drivin deadly-alive in a nineteen-ninety-five dodge
durango
with two strange-o's
eatin twice-dried mangoes
burn the rich outta perfect-nice-guy-plain-clothes
or stay slow
don't believe what i say
cause i stay at hard angles
i know angels
who believe in angels
rain knowledge like a saint loser double rainbow
iS it sane? no
but who got the say-so
eat right keep writin at nite
speak in-sight, cre-ate flow
live from too-late state row
fuzz-shake snakes though
distorted break beats deep keeps me in shape
it goes:
fuck a bank
and farmiceutical thunk-tanks
kkkapitalism iS unsafe
there's no-one Great
solution
but we gotta start somewhere
a poem, a gun
there's no room for un-Care
