i will not stand immersed in this ultra violent curse i won't let you make a tool of me i will keep my mind and body free bye bye minutiae of the day to day drama i'm expanding exponentially, i am consciousness without identity i am many things made of everything but i will not be your bank roll i won't idle in your drive-thru i won't watch your electric sideshow i got way better places to go i will maintain the truth i knew naturally as a child i won't forfeit my creativity to a world that's all laid out for me i'll look at everything around me and i will vow to bear in mind that all of this was just someone's idea it could just as well be mine i won't rent you my time i won't sell you my brain i won't pray to a male god cuz that would be insane and i can't support the troops cuz every last one of them's being duped and i will not rest a wink until the women have regrouped i am many things made of everything but i will not be your bank roll i won't idle in your drive-thru i won't watch your electric sideshow i got way better places to go
