The things you knew about music best to forget em now So release the demons you harbor inside and let em out And speed the weekend and come back to Monday only to remember that you spend your whole work week on the denim couch Surrendering the Cheap Trick that comes with your Cracker Jacks Calling 1989 to ask for all the rappers back The regime of Assad committing the highest sin While polisci students are sitting reading Leviathan Bill Watterson carefully draws John and Thomas While America falls in love with all of the little comics Took a rope, refined it and made hemp from it The rulebook of reality, hes exempt from it Analyzing my lyrics with much fluidity A parody, a cryptic tribute, or just stupidity Could be any of the three, perhaps I oughta be Deciding not to fit anywhere in the trichotomy Chorus Child Actor ...to suffocate Youve got everything Wont you laugh it in You can run away Valiant You wont get far Valiant You cant get away Valiant You wont get far Valiant Let me in now Let me in now You could be royalty Let me see the shining ring Behind these palace walls youre climbing out And well build our empire And well build our empire And well build our empire Until the sun never sets up Claiming to be valiant, systematically keeping them Ignorant while CO2 reaches 400 PPM Its strictly procedure, maam, dont make a fuss about it Plenty of bipartisan support so you must allow it They keep the buses crowded with commuters and consumers Faces buried in their little glowing telephone computers Wonder if they know how lit up their face looks Wishing old acquaintances happy birthday on Facebook Unnatural selection becoming the homo evolutis And rapidly frowning no matter what the current mood is Wondering if this is art like an elephants painting Very shocking and edgy and you can tell by the fainting Devoting one couplet to try and balance rhymes Like trying to find peace in Israel and Palestine Lennon said he was the walrus, and then said it was Paul And never clarified while Ringo was dead all along [Chorus]
valiant, empire, build, evolutis, trichotomy
