M|
-| My rhyme ain't good just yet
T| My brain and tongue just met
A| And they ain't friends so far
B| My words don't travel far
N| They tangle in my hair
A| And tend to go nowhere
B| They grow right back inside
B| Right past my brain and eyes
E| Into my stomach juice
R| Where they don't serve much use
.| No healthy calories
C| Nutrition values
O| And i absorb back in
M| The words right through my skin
-| They sit there festering inside my bowels
T| The consonants and vowels
A| The consequence of sounds
B|
N| Got a soundtrack in my mind
A| All the time
B| Kids screaming from too much beat up and they don't even rhyme
B| They just stand there on a street corner
E| Skin tucked in and meat side out
R| And shouting - i'd like to turn them down but there ain't no knob
.| Born into picket fences
C| Not into picket lines
O| All this hippie shit's for the sixties
M| Only cliché in our times, but
-| What if one of these days your heart will just stop ticking
T| And they sort of just don't find you till your cubicle is reeking?
A| The consonants and vowels
B| The consequence of sounds
N|
A| Did you know that the gravedigger's still getting stuck in the machine
B| Even though it's a whole other daydream?
B| It's another town, it's another world
E| Where the kid's asleep, and the loans are paid, and the lawns are mowed
R| What'd you think--all the gravediggers were gone just cause one song is done?
.| There's always another one
C| Waiting right around the bend
O| Till this one ends
M| Then it begins squeaky clean and it starts all over again
-|
T| The weather report keeps on tossing and turning
A| Predicting and warning and warning and warning of
B| Possible leakage from news publications and
N| Possible leakage from news tv stations, that
A| Very same morning right next to her coffee
B| She noticed some bleeding and heard hollow coughing
B| The national geographic was being too graphic
E| When all she had wanted to know was the traffic
R|
.| The world's got a nosebleed, it said, and we're flooding
C| But we keep on cutting the trees in the forest
O| And we keep on paying those freaks on the tv
M| Who claim they will save us but want to enslave us and
-| Sweating like demons they scream through our speakers
T| But we leave the sound on cause silence is harder and
A| No one's the killer and no one's the martyr
B| The world that has made us can no longer contain us
N| And prophets are silent and rotting away cause
A| The consonants and vowels
B| The consequence of sounds
