lyrics

(Chorus)
It's always funny 'til it aint/
But back to what I was sayin’ before/
Y’all bout to get what you deserve though/
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you/
Nobody gonna see it til it’s too late/
But back to what I was sayin’ before/
You think I don’t know I sound crazy?/

It’s always funny til it ain’t/
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you/
Y’all bout to get what you deserve though/
You think I don’t know I sound crazy?/

Tell me how you feel now though/
I been sayin' the quiet part loud though/
Live from the underground flow/
Dostoevsky writin’ down notes/
Keep ya eyes open and ya mouth closed/
Playin' with fire, now you out cold/
Y'all better hope it's all a sick joke/
I'ma smash the Overton window/
When your pen is a weapon/
You know your mission/
Every single word is your own resistance/
They Soviets in sheep's clothes with it/
In my soul I'm Solzhenitsyn/
In my mind I'm Ken Kesey/
In my heart I'm Brian Wilson/
If the medium is the music/
I'm Marshall McLuhan/
But back to what I was sayin' before/

(Chorus)


But I bet you gon' miss me/
Going off the grid like Kaszinsky/
It's lookin' real funny in the light/
The rabbit hole's gone deeper/
I ain't saying he was right/
But he wasn't wrong either/
I'm just watchin' all the angles/
Hangin by a thread but it's tangled/
What it was ain't what it will be/
Y'all better figure out/
What you really fear/
How can anybody kill me/
If I was never really here?/
That's a whole different story/
Y'all aint got nothin' for me/
I must be outta my mind/
So y'all can ignore me/
But back to what I was sayin' before/

(Chorus)
