High Water Mark

from Soul Music for the Soulless by WORDS HURT

/

lyrics

1st Verse
Feel the pandemonium Homey we love the paranoia
Treat it like a paramour rather sure you should grab a lawyer
shit is getting ugly son It's Democrats and republicans
A disappointed frustrated hateful and angry public one

Step away from snapping and I can't say that I blame them
Got a media that treats it like games and entertainment
As they cozy up to politicians got me out here solipsistic
While these dickheads went and took our voice away like Polyps cysts it's

-----why we speak in terms apocalyptic
Subverted their proper English connect ditto and politiced it
Try to make us swallow shit and call it a sundae
And every fucking Sunday got these talk shows and the punditry

I might watch it as punishment white washing of Washington
So who watches the watchmen cause it's certain not them
It's a Fourth estate foreclosure It's Click bait and vacant lots
Lets start to raise the high water mark cause it just takes a drop

Hook
With the right set of eyes you could see the high water mark (sample)

2nd Verse
Yo --it's like standards don't exist
We refuse to act like grown ups and then blame it on the kids
Yo It's Millenials this yo it's Millenials that
while our greatest minds write think pieces on seminal rap

It's a sentimental trap nostalgia has now been weaponized
As Jesus wept I guess there's demons yet to exorcise
brands are now politicized the shit is run amok
-And They don't give a fuck your revolution sells their trucks

It's the outrage economy constantly keep em pissed off
safe spaces and snowflakes this discourse is pitchforks
This dischords a minor threat even for the mindless yes
The pseudoscience chiropractic assholes with your spine reset

people we're not serious we're merely sanctimonious
Conspiracy theorists who thing the Bankers are controlling us
Its intellectually lazy and that's the disappointing part
These drought like conditions got me missing the high water mark
