Rich men sell women the way they want to those men to think
I'm staring at escalators until the right thoughts finally start to rush in
You brag about media literacy with a voice that's so coarse
Then talk about learning empathy from another failed cartoon horse
I know watching the correct TV shows makes me worthy of a middle class life
Tell me tell me brother of mine does this hospital bill give you strife
Give me one more chance to make it right before my final splutter and cough
So I can stare at the plaster walls and wait for the ceiling lights to finally shut off
I am the virtue on the wall
I am the first friend that you call
I am the voice you start to fear
I am the loathing of your peers
I am the one who's suffer you bear
I am the cracks in the marble stairs
I am the faucet of snark and sneers
I am the compass of what you feel
So look at me now
Standing so tall and so proud
With double time on the prowl
Just for the thrill of it, hell of it
Live in the past
Aspire to be the last
Of all the kids who got asked
What is the end of this, tell me this
Where did it lead
The hours watching TV
Are you now wiser to see
The animals in technicolor
Heart only bleeds
For all the pictures I see
But I still scoff in the street
At all the squalid and dirtier
How do I remain noble while I scream and shout?
It takes a nation of millions to watch a cartoon horse try and figure it out
I tried everything now I gotta kill myself
I tried everything but I gotta kill myself
I dream of love expressed through material wealth
I got nothing left except my failing health
I tried everything but all I am is all that's left
I take criticism in stride, I'm the animal inside
Look at me now I'm potential you see
Look at me now I know the jokes ain't free
Look at me now I have an arts degree
Look at me now I understand TV
