Music And Politics - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

I would tel you that sometimes it’s easier to desire

And pursue the attention and admiration of 100 strangers

Than it is to accept the love and loyalty

Of those closest to me

And I would tell you that sometimes

I prefer to look at myself

Through someone elses eyes

Eyes that aren’t clouded with the tears of knowing

What an asshole I can be, as yours are

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

I might be able to listen in silence to your concerns

Rather than hearing everything as an accusation

Or an indictment against me

I would tell you that sometimes

I use sex to avoid communication

It’s the best escape when we’re down on our luck

But I can express more emotions than laughter, anger

And let’s fuck

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

I would tell you that I pooped in my own dog dish

And sometimes I would rather face not eating

Than face licking it clean

And admitting when I’m selfish

And I’d tell you that I’m suffering

From the worst type of loneliness

The loneliness of being misunderstood

Or more poignantly

The loneliness of being afraid

To allow myself to be understood

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

I would tell you that the personal revolution

Is far more difficult

And is the first step in any revolution

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics

I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion

And that politics is merely the decoy of perception
