Description: I had recorded a lot of the scratch tracks for this one, and realized that the somewhat disjointed nature and the really improvisational aspects worked really well. I'm not sure this can be called a finished product yet, but the current state of the song sounds organic enough to me to release.

lyrics

Generation gaps in question
Is logic so estranged?
Wealthy tyrant's disposition
The catchphrase of the day

Glued your eyes onto the screen, as you
reap just what you sow
Armchair ethics, premonitions
Of never moving forward

Fleeting moments of reflection
yet still so far from home
bleeding heart's emancipation,
it's just the way it goes
I wish that we could see this through
but it's just not in the cards
Ignoring your family is just part of who you are

Overstepping boundaries
you were never that concerned
You bought into the lie that hard work
Will get you what you've earned
While eating from a hand that feeds
your hypocrisy's absurd
You get what you deserve
