I feel bad because the first Deeplastik upload I listened to felt perfect for a lyric I’d been wanting to offer up for awhile, so this was the shortest research-and-collect phase pretty much ever.

Yeah, there’s a very bad word in the second chorus, but I couldn’t resist the rhyme and I’m using the word in the hopefully-less-offensive UK sense of “people”

Also: there’s a pell in the downloads


Power Struggle

You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie, you’re whistlin’
Bach fugues and Masses now; rock tunes and acid house;
musical theater for miserable creatures —
You lived but you didn’t learn, so Imma teach ya

This is what you want, this is what you want, huh?
Come on now, this is what you want.
It’s different up in front, but this is what you want.

You ain’t got a snowball’s chance in a dance hall
with hip hot music amplified;
Your wit got loose and your hands are tied,
but they’re sparkling white while you nod and smile at
washing Washington — God’s co-Pilate.

This is what you want, this is what you want, huh?
Come on now, this is what you want.
You’re pissin’ of some cunts, but this is what you want.

This is what you want, this is what you want, huh?
Come on now, this is what you want.
You’re missin’ out on fun, but this is what you want.
