Frame by Frame

Going back down from where I came

I think the rest of the world should do the same

They're committing atrocities frame by frame

Oh Mama your excuses are getting so lame,

Going down this dark, ominous, road

Everything I know about to implode

I keep thinking it's the DEFCON mode

Mankind dragging this heavy load,

Tried to correct course for man but trajectory is off

Mankind is descending into a deep trough

Funny how the media lies and scoffs

The silence, can’t hear a fly cough,

Every lover I wished for seems ambivalent

I can’t think of a more cruel equivalent

How I pray for something magnificent,

Seems I'm far short of being eloquent,

On the tip of a spear without a target

Can’t shop for happiness in an abandoned market

Vaccine recipients having seizures on the carpet

Where did the bullet hole come from in my jacket?

The politicians and scientists are all hacks

Completely unconcerned with the facts

The constant barrage of propaganda attacks

Is there anyone here who has my back?

I fear I’m slowly going down

Thanks to all the fools who wear the crown

The traitors who are really just clowns

The cries for justice, I’m hearing that sound,

Where I once lived now a ghost town

But I just couldn’t keep from coming around

I still have these memories that keep me earthbound

Like the pilot of the U-2 that got shot down,

When will the righteous wave liberate us?

Just can't seem to adjust

Government like idiots on a psychedelic bus

They want absolute control nothing to discuss,

My Dear, how could you have ever fallen for the lie?

Like tear gas it blinded your eyes

Suddenly, I became the villain that you despised

You did a great job of causing my demise,

What is left in a life without a plan?

No beauties with bikini tans

The forensic past where buffalo once ran

Practicing my aim in a saloon spit can.
