lyrics

VERSE 1:
My rhymes are catastrophic..toxic topics...
Pandora’s box long before they had the chance to come along and lock it

The masses screaming stop it...helpless as the flames shoot out their eye sockets
Satisfied I break the mic then fucking drop it

These days I’m quick to block shit
I’ve got too little time to entertain your mock fits

Not what I’m here for..so therefore
They’re sore I won’t engage with their poor
Arguments and rancor

None of it’s necessary
All of your heads are buried

Shoulders deep inside the sands of time
Pretending that your life is much more than temporary

And I ain’t wallowing in all your insecurities
Fake convictions and thought experiments lack maturity

You’re on your own with that...and by the way
If you should die today what would these people say about your life

Would they praise you for your accomplishments, salute you as a builder
Or curse you because gave the world nothing but strife

CHORUS:
What the world needs now
Less ringmasters less clowns
Developing people with know how

More honest people to hold ground
With less people talking to hear the sound
where stupid shit ain’t around


What the world needs now
Less ringmasters less clowns
The three ring circus burned to the ground

Less bootlickers kissing the ass of authority
More skeptics that question when leaders give us a story


VERSE 2:
Your form of activism’s lacking vision
It’s just a game you play but never really win because you lack precision

Lack of experience impacts decisions
So when you calculate how others live their lives you only use division

That’s why your commentary adds to nothing
Your podcast and social media content only proves you bluffing

That’s why they don’t believe in you...They only see deceit you spew
Your see through...that’s why your salty like some seafood

One of many millions that think they’re heroes... really villains
That only add to the discord and can’t control their feelings

Whose voice reaches the ceilings loud but ain’t got nothing to say
Well nothing original anyway

And I would rather stay away from all of the stink that you spray
So I just concentrate on building on my path all day

You can’t bombard this with nonsense because my peace of mind is a steady work in progress

CHORUS:
What the world needs now
Less ringmasters less clowns
Developing people with know how

More honest people to hold ground
With less people talking to hear the sound
where stupid shit ain’t around


What the world needs now
Less ringmasters less clowns
The three ring circus burned to the ground

Less bootlickers kissing the ass of authority
More skeptics that question when leaders give us a story

VERSE 3:
As a child I was a naive sort.
I looked towards the future and thought that evil distorts

but all the battles people had fought was for peace that they sought
see now I know better they love standing knee deep in a corpse

While holding a torch...smile on their faces talking bout fairness
Blood on their hands...truth to be told is that they just couldn’t care less

They only want to share death...compassion is the rarest
The truth is they selfish as shit… and not embarrassed

We can’t win...the enemy we fight is the one that’s within
And much to our chagrin honestly we strive to be him

So there’ll be no escaping our nature or reshaping
No matter how hard we try with all the scratching and scraping

It’s probably... so close to over...but fuck it we shrug our shoulders
And say it’s just not our business as slowly we grow colder

And then you ask me why I see the world this way
Your answer’s there inside the mirror so what more I gotta say

CHORUS:
What the world needs now
Less ringmasters less clowns
Developing people with know how

More honest people to hold ground
With less people talking to hear the sound
where stupid shit ain’t around


What the world needs now
Less ringmasters less clowns
The three ring circus burned to the ground

Less bootlickers kissing the ass of authority
More skeptics that question when leaders give us a story
