Adam G Holofcener - Things

I deal with things that are outside things
Spend my time oh clippin' wings
Through the Butterfly effect
No matter how much joy it brings
Or makes the angels up and sing
I'm goin' feel like a ding a ling
If I keep up this neglect
Every act's a political act
And I'll strike back 'gainst any hack
Who tries to tell me otherwise
The social contract was never intact
A material breach screeched from its lungs
Soon as the first was crucified
It was me that brought it to its knees
Or at least I wish it was
I wanna say I did a goddamn thing
Brought peace to the world so I can leave
How come the maps have never changed
Apartheid done gone rearranged
Segregated chairs with a refrain
It ain't all singin' in the rain
The bibimbap has been ordained
The pungent is no longer same
There's now profit where there was once shame
Some kimchi down home on the range
We don't eat dogs at least not here
We use them to assuage our fears
So we can go ahead and leer
At the others over there
Waitin' for some type of transfusion
To get over grand illusions
Dirty cash and crooked futures
That are all just right on time
It was me that brought it to its knees
Or at least I wish it was
I wanna say that I did a goddamn thing
Brought peace to the world so I can leave
So that I can leave
So that I can leave
