lyrics

H.C.M.P.

The population inflates at exponential rates
Which makes more space in the House for red states
For the Earth's sake, can't you see what's at stake?
Avoid the mistakes and choose to procreate
Your eyes are kept averted by the way they got you herded
With the loopholes they inserted into the ways our laws are worded
Which get more contorted as the rich get more rewarded
But do you read what's recorded? No! It's easier to ignore it
The time has come for the resurgence of a new insurgence
The reemergence of what's really important and urgent
We've need to strive to break away from the hive
Society thrives: yet you don't feel alive
Mankind has the resolve to solve how the world revolves
Yet some won't get involved to find from where we've evolved
It's hard to conceive with the mixed signals we receive
It's no wonder you concede when we all should secede
Too ignorant to vote, too distracted to revolt
How can we have hope when they can't reach for the remote?
Feeding lies to the masses in an attempt to keep them passive
If we just got off our asses we'd get the power back from the fascists


Is life what it's supposed to be?
Manifest your destiny
Make life what is in your dreams
Manifest that destiny
Is life what it's supposed to be?
Manifest: Destiny
Make life what is in your dreams
Manifest your destiny


With so much wow in the constant now
It's no wonder how new souls can't bow
After the pow from works like the Tao
Which brings out doubt of what our vows are about
In the beginning, natural disaster was blamed on the sky
When now we have entire sciences devoted to why
So rely on the fiction, if that's what gets you by
But we can't buy that it's the work of one guy
It's a debauchery how you flock to these mockeries
A spiritual lobotomy from all the dichotomies
Break free of the monotony of the untaxed monopolies
Cause your philosophy ought to be a result of autonomy
Is your inability to discern behind your lack of concern?
When others desperately yearn for something new to learn
No U-turn from the fear that you'll burn
Respect can't be given if it hasn't been earned
Teens growing up without a privilege got a low self-image
Would rather watch Sunday's scrimmage than hear a tale of pilgrimage
With your kids held captive, attending church by habit
Who would've known so much damage could come from an old adage

Be illuminated.


Is life what it's supposed to be?
Manifest your destiny
Make life what is in your dreams
Manifest that destiny
Is life what it's supposed to be?
Manifest: Destiny
Make life what is in your dreams
Manifest your destiny
