Feb 2022 spoken-word lyrics-only needs-music needs-collab
I feel like its been a very long time since I wrote some spoken word. I'm really digging this one. It went all sorts of places, I was just along for the ride. Fun fact, this is the last set of lyrics I will write in my 20's.
I'm here to chime in
Take a seat, get your napkin ready
Consume my words, fine dinin'
You see times are messed up
Aren't we all a little messed up
Dressed up in lies and hypocrisy
Pardon me do you think I'm gardening
My hearts hardening, time to pull the weeds
Cause I'm sick of false words and “good deeds”
So sit back let me tell you a tale
This whole worlds set up to fail
And it pales in comparison
Gotta ford the river, just call me Harrison
I'm bringing all my force, the whole garrison
[Chorus]
Everyone is going crazy but that's all right
As long as there's a new episode tonight
Fuck the real world, let's go to yours
(I wanna go)
Fuck the real world, I'll fight your wars
(I'll fight your wars)
Everyone is going insane, but that's how it goes
As long as the cons outweigh the pros
Fuck the real world, we're on our own
(We're on our own)
Fuck the real world, you reap what you've sown
(Oh my how it's grown)
All these issues we're tackling
While trying to keep all of our faculties
Straight from the heart once I start I cant stop
Hip hop, top 40 pop, cream of the crop
Division runs rampant, instigated, propagated
By those who hope the damage cant be mitigated
So call me aggravated, a grumpy old man, flash in the pan
Keep up if you can, tell me your plan, when it began were you a lone Lee Stan
You look like a joker to me, a provoker indeed but I'm no Batman
In fact I'm more like a spider, caught in these webs but I'm no insider
And I'd be daunted if faced with the gauntlet, but destruction comes in many forms
All of it swarms and all of it storms once you give it a platform, it'll take over
So take me away to the land of the fey if even just for a day, fuck the real world
[Chorus]
Everyone is going crazy but that's all right
As long as there's a new episode tonight
Fuck the real world, let's go to yours
(I wanna go)
Fuck the real world, I'll fight your wars
(I'll fight your wars)
Everyone is going insane, but that's how it goes
As long as the cons outweigh the pros
Fuck the real world, we're on our own
(We're on our own)
Fuck the real world, you reap what you've sown
(Oh my how it's grown)
[Chorus]
Everyone is going crazy but that's all right
As long as there's a new episode tonight
Fuck the real world, let's go to yours
(I wanna go)
Fuck the real world, I'll fight your wars
(I'll fight your wars)
Everyone is going insane, but that's how it goes
As long as the cons outweigh the pros
Fuck the real world, we're on our own
(We're on our own)
Fuck the real world, you reap what you've sown
(Oh my how it's grown)

I love these lyrics. I'm not someone who uses the f word but I really enjoy the poetry and imagery in what you've created.
