It Starts With An "I"
Gabriel Duncan

 
It starts with an "I"
Just a little me
The saying that's despised
The mantra of the bourgeoisie
It's not just politics
Or even a social grudge
Against the clueless
The people who think they stand above
Against the hateful or the plainly ignorant
The messiacal maniacal fanantacising idiots
It's the reader who takes it in his heart
To believe the bullshit that tears us apart
It's the kid who thinks that he can smith his rhymes
To right the shattered town and face the bureaucratic mimes
It's the punk, who hides behind his whips and his guns
Too afraid to fight, but to confused to just stand up and run
The atomic child
With his broken rhymes and pointless lines
Coming up in this world, to be just another stand-behind
No matter if your number's double digital
More or less than nineteen
That can't stop the ridicule
That what you are is what you see
It's people in here, oblivious to out there
Watching our armies commit genocide
But to pacified to care
It's you, motha fuckas, who have no perspective
You, motha fuckas, who spout lines, but got no directive
It's you, dumb shit, who doesn't see it coming
You, dumb shit, who can't see your money, means nothing
It's you, innocent bystander, with your American Pride
With your triple-crossed heart and that needle in your eye
It's you in favor of less
And opposed to more
Can't wait to see it when the blood starts to pour
So when you get caught in your distractions
Don't blame me
When your ignorance forms a human action
And reality takes you in your keep
When you piss it all away
With your flags and your SUVs
I'll be in Canada motherfucker, where they can't touch me
It all starts with an "I"
Just a little me
The saying that's despised
The mantra of the bourgeoisie
It's not just politics
Or even a social grudge
It's all you motha fuckas who think you stand above
And all those pussies who are too afraid to stand
All you fools who think you have the upper hand
And the fair-weather voyeurs, who pick the "winning side"
I wonder who will believe it, when they say, "stay inside"
I hate you all, just as much as I hate myself
But at least I can see my inaction's bad for this country's health
So shut your mouth, kid
It's more than just your things
It's you motha fucka
With your flag and SUV
