Reality Tango
Saturday, March 19th, 2011Here are the entire lyrics to the song done with projector.
Thrown out into the streets into a god-forsaken land
I stole and I pilfered for my nutrition
‘Til I was caught in someone’s pocket,
But was praised for nimble hands
Instead of prison, I was apprenticed to a magician
Ten thousand hours he drilled me in the secrets of his trade
As enchantment soon turned to it’s antitheses
Turns out it’s mostly cheating folks out of the hard earned cash they made
While your soulless self puts up a cruel mimesis
(But I held out hope
Or was it fantasy?
True magic would exist
At least for me
On his deathbed my mentor pulled be closer
And this is what he whispered to me)
It turns out Magic
Exists in your mind
We’re all just suckers
Looking for the next good time
And I’ll love you
if you just put me on
So lie to me
Reality is just a con
Politicians priests and lawyers are just a bunch of grifters
Your belief can make your life go anyway
I’ve seen people make themselves
Saints, whores and drifters
But mostly I see monsters everyday
Jesus Fucking Christ!
(Repeat ad nauseum with audience)
But mostly I see monsters every day!
