Novocaine Thesaurus

I don't know if you’ve seen it
The malnutrition I’ve been hiding in
Or rather the kind I’ve been seeking
American dreams aren't for human beings.

I don't know if you’ve seen it
The free world is ruled by tyrants
Tectonically shifting power promised
Away from Americans.

So darling, quit your crying
Cockroaches, novocaine thesaurus
I take the pavement is cold and inviting –
At least there's more rubber to burn.

Looking back we’ve been hungry,
Unfaithful thieves of the marketplace
Shrouding truth and intention
From all those who stand in the way.

Looking back we’ve been starving
Monstrous marauders raking in the spare change
And I can't wait to be starving once again!

This balderdash, platonic system
What the mind can’t take berates to blossoms
Maybe it’s the moving onward
When there's more rubber to burn.

I am not the one you seek,
I will let you down in fury.
I can hear it once again,
A fatal call to walk as men.
