lyrics
BRA The Goat Carcass:
What if something's holding you back, you can't help.
Lingering, lying reminding yourself.
It's never gonna be, give up let it go,
Till that one day hits you snap explode.
It could be that quiet kid, the obnoxious kid
The kid that's got it all but refuses to live.
Maybe he's all talk, hope for the best
The outcome is generic, he lays down to rest.

Corduroy Phoenix:
Now my head's too tight, my clothes are outgrown,
Bullshit plutocracy's getting overthrown,
Through what I've seen and what's been shown,
Pushing through those seams to spaces unknown.
It's the bottom of the barrel, though it should be top shelf,
See if you want change you've got to get it for yourself.
When it comes time to getting down and dirty,
Everyone's always like "I'll do it when I'm thirty."
That's the thing don't wait to make a plan,
Us being all mortal, time waits for no man.

Turbo:
Now I’m feeling sort psychotic,
Need an antibiotic
The way I rhyme is kinda hypnotic.
Like an illegal kind of narcotic.
You got step in line, pay your fine,
I don’t like nostalgia unless it’s mine.
Screaming “Oh hip hop please come and save us
Bring back the age of cool a la Miles Davis.”
And don’t you know the pentatonic
Mixes better than ben and chronic
And it’s sonic...
The hedgehog happiness, flipping the finest of finesse
I’m more honest than Abe with my Gettysburg address.

Voice yourself if you got something to say
Put it on the table before it eats you away
Don't you know it's the speak easy style
Fuck dilemmas, run off into the wild.
