(Oats & Geno) ..And the World Keeps Spinning.

[Geno]

Geno..
Erryday im back breaking, slaving, sweats cascading for taxed wages
Outrageous, IRS denies my checks and witholds for back payments
Sad -ain't it, that my salary caps some teenage dollar bill hourly crap
I'd panhandle the corner, but my pride keeps on overpowering that
What would my daughter think, how could she be proud of her dad..
if I was holding a sign saying please, help me out with some cash
I ain't about to collapse, I'm bout to commit acts of a drowning father
Bothered, oatmeal, tell these fucking people why I'm about to hollar!

Oats..
the world revolves around the dollar, a dictated direction
so make the connection - "paper thin" measures how money shapes its dimensions
the Earth is flat again! we're slaves to this globalization deception
that distorts our perception; we live in a Mercator projection
crave the perfection, it's motivation for consumerist bidding
just synthetic value, like your answer to "what do you do for a living?"
it doesn't matter, as long as you stay true to the mission:
work tirelessly so you can pay your dues to the system

Geno..
that's a stupid depiction, but the goddamn truth is your right
Its far from unscrutable, your whole point of view is to fight
Intuitive types, but not a very suitable life for everybody I know
Cause most hungry people really can't stomache the blows
I've studied the ropes, and id survive where others would fail
Cause I can do without food, while other mutha fuckaz are frail
The kind of dust I've inhailed could break a mans lungs apart
From the start ive gone hard, but what about the ones who's soft

Oats..
hunger hawks over them - compared to comfort costs? Soberin'
when we could feed em easy with our weekly pumps of petroleum
but that argument's far from cogent when your strapped in the rat wheel
workin 9 to 9 you don't have time to imagine how that feels
tragic but that's real, at least it's the reality we've permitted
too passive with our positions, the gravity of indifference
sadly it's what we live with, imbalance that's clear as day
they say money comes and goes, but poverty's here to stay
