Lyrics:

Piss off this fall bear / his paws are not bare / slick ops like super cops / his arsenal’s not fair // your fairy godmother / better help you out, if you flout the rules from the words that come out this mouth // buddy heading south, making steady smart decisions / living in a prison seeing ethics...through a prism / living whack, stacking crackerjacks by subtracting / them from the happiness of poor hapless blasted men / Alpha male, no bravo from me / y'all know Iago, Scar, Scarface, kapeesh? / kaput, that's a tidy wrap, leave a trap, circle back / karmas gonna lay you flat / better act classy, jack / here in these parts, / start acting smart / or be froze so quick / that you’ll slo mo slip / on your swollen old lips / ... / tell no fibs / say it, then just do it, done / ride into the setting sun / perfect like a sketchy pun / Gun, a Behrel o’ fun / there’s enough for everyone! // ain’t it great, segregating by integrity? / made a couple enemies, barking up a shady tree or two / dude, don’t shoot / or better yet, don’t sue / or even better better yet, check out TedEd on YouTube / next level subterfuge / hit ‘em with the solid truth / sit ‘em, pin ‘em down in a photobooth / this is what you look like, cool kid / when you say that ruthless / Brutus-types / should be running lives / like the motors of their super-loud motorbikes // think twice / before you yell, “geronimo” / bet you don’t know the whole story, do ya? Knew it, / losing interest / in aggressive kinaesthetic threats / and did I mention? / misdirection is a standard form of mimicry / in deceiving henchmen, everything is symmetry / fighting might be exciting / but being bright means other means / retort back: / door slams

Lyrics:
The best weapon? Misdirection,
mixed with some idea disinfectant.
Insurrection? Discredit the press, then
Condemn facts--it's a blessed invention. 

The best weapon? Misdirection,
mixed with a crime spree intervention. 
Overstepping? Naw, this is protection.
Free your mind of distressing questions.

Let's agree right now / life's about far more than grinding down cash cows / how many million more misfits do I have to announce / flying around in first class, feet up, ignoring the clouds / telling the kid pressed up at the window to invest her allowance / buy some secret trumped up stocks that'll get her some power / don't just smell 'em, cut and sell those flowers, sixty an hour / anything the people want / brick by brick, you'll have a tower / little kids on bicycles, skidding / being trained for sitting and listening / repeat after me, always agree / sugar and cinnamon / I walked into an interview and got confused / when they asked to hear my passionate views, I spoke about truth / no not about that, they said, somewhat amused / we wanted to hear about shopping online, your love to consume / filling your soul with new / gadgets /, whenever the mood / hits / the truth is I prefer a nuisance, / counter culture movements, / students examining blueprints, / asking not just what but why, inquiring minds / writing fancy trance-free anti-stultifying rhymes / igniting their joy / severing ties that bind or blind / them yeah that's more my kind of wine and dine /

Go get the henchmen / this little kid here dares ask a question / it's cute now but in ten years, what then? / It might spread to her peers, not to mention / inciting cheers from the bleachers / the nameless thousands of stressed, voiceless creatures / depressed, poisoned, beleaguered / as it is right now, they're all no-choice believers / we let one spark live, though, they'll dethrone our leaders / A sign of the times though / that towing the line means even by nineteen kids go home thinking philosophy is a useless tangle / I try to avoid mindless horoscopes and horror shows but this post-truth mortar's slowly hardening into ruthless angles / .... Sip fizzy wishes like a six-figure income / .... clinch your decisions with this slick-thinking wisdom / .... split your opinions, winging shifts in the sinner district / if you're inventive, they'll have fits / with your silly mystic / skits / that convince kids you hold the tickets / since / that time you said so yourself on twitter / it's a bitter brew stewing in the misfits / who'll be black and blue soon / 'cause they know it's time to die or do

Beat - "On the Lookout" by Kan Kick

This is like a little dose of sunshine / While sucking on a lemon like / but why? / Because I gotta berate people who rain on parades / going out of their way to make other people ashamed / I'm saying / Little tickle in your eardrum / chewing on an issue like bubble gum / beating on the trouble drum / grown adults throwing phantom / tantrums / as I cast this black / tantric / magic

Man...we're digging trenches again, / steady defending hard lines instead of blending them / dudes ban abortion like it's threatening them /... it doesn't threaten men ... / wising up why guys wanna legislate the uterus: / POWER POWER POWER POWER POWER POWER / *blech* sour taste at the state of the modern state / race hatred never faded or abated / missing indigenous women / imprisoned indigenous men / is it or isn't it genocide / when the government actively incinerates them? / yeah / turns out the pope's a flat earther / he's denying what is for sure / I know their views are based in scripture / but if that's the law then where's my literary lawyer /

I'm about the big questions / why the big Mac got a bun up in its midsection / we're all mad here, so I been guessing / how to free the witch from the stake and keep it interesting / It's a delicate thing spilling the milk and beans / filling in-between spaces with itinerant hopes and dreams / jokes and schemes / pushing back at "supposed to be" / like "what's that supposed to mean?" / I've been all about that dopamine / belief seemed simulated, forced on me like plastocene / it didn't stick, and even now I get bitter quick / consider this, / we're indoctrinating little kids / yes but, we do it right, unlike the ones you see up on the news almost every single night / crashing funerals with hateful views out of spite / they're just an anomaly... Yeah... right / 
Out of sight, out of mind / under the rug, like, every time / white / Anglo Saxon blinds / shut tight like see no crime / why / call it genocide / why / let her decide / why hoist that coloured flag so / high in the sky

The freshest...the freshest message
I'm in search of the words to describe it,
A fresh method / rare, reverent rhymes
I'm a fresh messenger, lines hook, 
Sink a listener

Walls walls walls keeping all all all them out, us in, question / who's authentic then? / it's just some tinted skin, / maybe an accent or a bearded chin // what's this ancient din? / Waving flags, singing anthems / religious vim and vigor / only baby steps from pulling triggers / coaxing / vague notions our country can't get no bigger / keep em out, they scream / hopping mad like a racist tigger / out on the Ave with a sign that says you're a sinner / what was that story bout the speck and log? / that's a winner / kid yer / fit ter / be tie dyed / I spy a biggot with / both of my little eyes /

Eenie meenie miney moe / don't teeter totter
Wash your hands for twenty seconds, / soap and water
You can't cast protego like / Harry potter
So wash your hands for twenty seconds, / soap and water

Cough into your elbow like you're dabbling but you faltered /
Wash your hands for twenty seconds, / soap and water
And when it's over, don't revert / to why bother
Wash your hands for twenty seconds, / soap and water

The witch is in the building / kids are spilling out their mother's laps / last call, that's all / folks / businesses are going black // Now we're stuck in close quarters / hoarding all this stuff / Do we have enough? / Distrust knocks. Look at us // trust splintered / whimpering in winter cabins / hoping our larders last longer than diseases ravage // just grabbing tp and beans, stay away from me / sneeze police / Staring at me in the store like enemies in war / bees knees // is distraction, any form or fashion / throwing feces / if my bandwidth's exhausted, panic / Now they're playing that same lame blame game / blazing sacrifices lately cause the rains came / yes it's racist saying all X's blank Y / it doesn't matter how you spin it in your mind's eye / Can't understand it? Ban it / Those bandits in the hand sanitizer business, bet they planned it. / Can it //

One week in, it's getting tricky not to lose it / Two weeks in, we're on the crazy train caboosing / Three weeks in is when the dream's becoming lucid and the monsters under the bed are chewing your toes like little medusa snakes / new memes // hit like earthquakes / video games lose taste // decorum fades, paper plates in rain  / insane in the membrane / not really / but whole cities locking down is a big dilly / stay home / keep your sweat pants on, silly / when's the next time the prime minister will demand you binge sex and the city? / it's admittedly a rabbit hole / through the looking glass we go / singing this refrain, it goes
