Vic Adamo - Best Intentions

I've been thinking to myself
How'd we make it so
The devil owns the Commons
And the progress
And the payroll?
And if the powers to the people
Then i can't see it
'Cuz we're runnin' 'round in circles
Tryin' to chase our own ego
Square the circle, stop the hearst though 
From runnin' rampant,
Through the fields and the campesinos
Don't overthink it
Just look down and pull the parking brake
To make a u-turn on the road to hell
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
If i can't hate the player 
I straight up hate the game
Rules that reconstruct asylums in the brain
Made for the insane
'Cuz in the book of Life
You be on page 2
When they changin' 96
In real time
Making good time
On the road they paved 
With genocide of bloodlines
In columbus' name
So what you put your hand up for
To tell the truth or to save yourself from the coming war?
For a gold star you'd burn the forest floor
So what you really learn in school, boy? 
Did you learn who wrote the record? 
Textbooks?
Adverts?
Concepts?
The bills and the plans
All made to cover up the real suspects?
Reinforcing them, us , them, us, them
Boy unlearn, unlearn
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
Best intentions only get you so far
But what's next?
I got my own neurosis
That's gifted me a complex with a bow tie
So live up to my reflection? 
There's a whole back story of rejection
My father
The system
The two world wars that still live in me
And communism
That shot down my V like a dog
To get the money
And if it's in my blood 
Then let the record reflect
That my soul is an imprint
Of pain and regret
Of the ones before me
And what they'd say if they were here to console me
If there's one life you lead
Don't let those best intentions
Keep you asleep
Or keep you up
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
It's a well-meaning world out there
Full of little pricks
And best intentions only get you so far
Wake up at a time when the Law is the trouble
We've been sleeping so long
All our takes have turned double
And if yesterday's changed
Then tell me why we screen the same future
Wake up at a time when the Law is the trouble
We've been here for so long
They making money off the struggle
And for just another dollar you can supersize your conscience, can't ya?
Wake up at a time when the Law is the trouble
We've been sleeping so long 
All our takes have turned double
Forget Discovery
Eradicate the business plan for poverty
Wake up at a time when the Law is the trouble
We've been here for so long
They making money off the struggle
1492? more like 1619
Wake up at a time when the Law is the trouble
We've been sleeping so long 
All our takes have turned double
Concrete sure feels good in the face of the tyrannical 
Wake up at a time when the Law is the trouble
We've been here for so long
They making money off the struggle
More fuel on the fire to keep dreamin'
To keep dreamin'
To keep dreamin'
To keep dreamin'
Keep dreamin'
