TAO Pt 3

[00:13.46] Thanks for listening
[00:14.28] To these cyanide diatribes
[00:15.97] In this strange zoo
[00:17.23] Where the snakes
[00:18.12] Become lionized
[00:19.25] Then we can't Identify the pride
[00:20.84] When it's giant-sized
[00:22.29] Bright orange
[00:23.06] And not even trying to hide
[00:24.59] Trying times
[00:25.32] Tyrants flying by
[00:26.28] Tech is one big private eye
[00:28.23] I just want some heat
[00:29.59] Why's my thermostat's trying to spy?
[00:31.76] Legalized weed but the water's more privatized
[00:34.53] Damn... they leavin us literally high and dry
[00:37.88] I'm a quiet guy
[00:39.18] But the pattern is clear
[00:40.26] From today's data extraction
[00:41.97] Back to them dragging us here
[00:43.37] First man was extracted from the land
[00:45.85] To clear the way for extractin from the planet
[00:48.36] Now extraction's just expanded since
[00:50.23] They dug up most of the gold and the granite
[00:52.30] Now they digging in our souls
[00:53.53] And their goal
[00:54.65] Is extractin our humanity -
[00:56.34] All while distracting from the plan
[00:58.58] Using literal codes the ppl can't
[01:00.44] And aren't allowed to understand
[01:02.33] Just a handful of companies
[01:04.05] Tracking our every movement
[01:05.41] We becoming less human
[01:07.08] And they call it an improvement
[01:08.48] But this aint nothin new its the
[01:10.13] Just same despotic
[01:11.44] Sick logic
[01:12.32] That saw all black bodies
[01:13.61] As just objects
[01:15.10] Now it's magnified
[01:16.41] 'Cause we artists all pacified
[01:18.34] We supposed to lead
[01:19.68] Supposed to be the masterminds
[01:21.36] The catalysts
[01:22.63] The capitalists have us tied
[01:24.32] Now we satirize
[01:25.78] The same things we advertise.
[01:28.79] Yes it's as depressing as it sounds!
[01:30.60] Even countin all the blessings
[01:32.03] Doesn't lessen the amount
[01:33.37] It's a lot -
[01:34.46] So I'm down for
[01:35.29] Ppl stretching the accounts
[01:36.12] To get counselling sessions
[01:37.88] Or yoga stretches to the ground
[01:39.58] Or taking treks into the mountains
[01:41.26] Quick exits from a town
[01:42.63] Full of stresses
[01:43.83] If it gets us
[01:44.65] To the lessons of the Tao
[01:45.78] Check it out —
[01:46.86] Like Catholics and baptists
[01:47.90] That truly practice
[01:49.28] Love for all those still
[01:50.64] On the road to Damascus
[01:52.36] Free meals and masses
[01:53.60] Life at long last
[01:55.37] Said love's only in blood
[01:56.48] And it cant be kept in caskets
[01:58.42] Look we really need to believe
[02:00.17] And keep gathering
[02:01.41] To keep battling
[02:02.85] And keep on the path
[02:03.74] We travellin'
[02:04.55] It's hard
[02:05.37] Home used to be where the heart is
[02:07.68] Now its just another market
[02:09.34] And everything is a bargain
[02:10.68] And everyone is a target
[02:12.28] Every month the apartment
[02:13.98] Rentals jump in charges
[02:15.23] Food —
[02:16.14] I always had
[02:16.69] But I never once
[02:17.56] Could harvest
[02:18.53] So I'm still starved in part
[02:20.78] From eating garbage
[02:22.12] Fake carbs in cartons
[02:23.47] Aye, more ppl just need a job
[02:25.60] Few ppl can keep the laws
[02:27.07] More ppl perceive a problem
[02:28.74] Few ppl can see the cause
[02:30.16] Few ppl with real family
[02:31.86] More ppl just tweetin "Squad"
[02:33.12] More ppl leavin their bodies
[02:34.79] Their deepest peace has been robbed
[02:36.14] We seek relief in the products
[02:37.73] And keep receipts
[02:38.68] Cuz when we need to eat
[02:40.02] That's when ppl cheat
[02:41.63] Greed, deceit
[02:42.45] And other evils
[02:43.23] Seen and treated as legal means
[02:44.39] No guillotines
[02:46.59] And that's the elitists' dream
[02:47.70] No revolution
[02:48.97] Just so accustomed to corruption
[02:50.66] That we shrug it off
[02:52.33] Unsurprised anytime that we uncover fraud...
[02:54.55] Then Its subtle how it ramps up
[02:56.95] From the shadows to a travel ban
[02:58.93] Like all of Pakistan plus
[03:01.17] Anybody named Khalid's in the Taliban — what?!
[03:05.09] You can almost laugh
[03:05.90] Til an Alexandre Bisonnete in Quebec City
[03:08.75] Gets a kalishnakov and walks in a mosque...
[03:20.40] Now fear is the climate
[03:21.57] The mood's violent
[03:22.87] Truth silenced
[03:23.97] Since they made the news biased
[03:25.67] By saying stations should be free to spew lies and
[03:28.74] Not have to broadcast peer-reviewed science
[03:31.81] And free to sell anything long as you'll buy it
[03:34.83] We give less youth guidance
[03:36.50] And make more schools private
[03:37.92] Here
[03:38.83] In the land where
[03:39.65] The richest dwell
[03:40.54] Sickest wealth
[03:41.31] Heaven
[03:41.96] But we sick as hell
[03:42.79] Sickest health
[03:43.67] Emotional Sickle Cell's
[03:45.10] Now the new normal
[03:46.37] So as far as who is and
[03:47.76] Who isn't well
[03:49.28] Well everyone's too sick to tell -
[03:50.65] Let's lift the veil
[03:51.72] Let's break the witches spell
[03:53.13] Spell it out on
[03:53.68] A different wheel of fortune:
[03:55.08] I'm saying' it's just a "L"!
[03:57.25] Don't be afraid
[03:58.96] Take a risk and fail
[03:59.46] Or else sit in jails
[04:01.65] Too many minds in
[04:02.21] Prison cells
[04:03.67] Bell Hooks on my book case
[04:05.31] Kristen Bell: I'm in a good place
[04:07.48] With what's written amidst the shelves
[04:09.33] Inspired speech
[04:10.78] I'm just trying
[04:11.22] To applying the teachings
[04:12.05] I've acquired reading
[04:13.02] Tales of liars, cheats,
[04:14.42] And admired leaders
[04:15.57] The irony is
[04:16.77] Being down in the mire, deep
[04:18.15] Might actually help us
[04:20.01] Reach the higher peaks
[04:21.18] Even while it all feels
[04:22.82] Entirely
[04:23.40] Tire screech—Dire
[04:24.14] Bleak as a secret diary
[04:25.82] By The Wire's
[04:26.67] Police or Fire Chief
[04:27.80] I'm still believing
[04:29.10] More than ever in forever
[04:30.51] In together
[04:31.42] In a better world
[04:32.62] V for vendetta girl
[04:33.71] In that cell with the letter
[04:35.39] I remember the rush
[04:36.76] Of seeing We as a body
[04:38.36] And remembering us
[04:39.74] From parts dismembered
[04:41.02] To peace when we re-enter in touch
[04:42.27] When we Re-member
[04:44.42] Re-assemble
[04:45.02] Re-centre in trust -
[04:45.95] Thats whats up!
[04:47.65] Low fashion, Canadian style
[04:49.22] But I was blessed with radiant smile
[04:51.46] So come and stay for a while
[04:53.08] Pray for the child
[04:54.13] With the soul in his sound
[04:55.27] To stay devout
[04:56.36] Until that hole in the ground
[04:57.60] Im no more holy than thou
[04:59.13] Just want us to be whole
[05:00.27] And holding it down
[05:01.57] No controlling the future
[05:02.96] But we could take hold of the now
[05:04.66] If we dont throw in towel
[05:06.20] Shoulder to shoulder in crowds
[05:08.48] Let's decide
[05:09.04] Before we bow
[05:09.80] Close the show
[05:10.47] And be out
[05:11.06] TAO
[05:19.53] (From parts to dismembered to peace
[05:23.10] Remember this
[05:26.36] Body
[05:28.32] Parts to dismembered to peace
[05:30.37] Re-member
[05:31.12] Re-member
[05:32.47] Reassemble
[05:37.98] As a body
[05:45.09] Re-enter in touch)
[05:46.57]
