2020 - And everything prior

lyrics

Nature abhors a vacuum
It's a hundred seconds to midnight
I got my apocalyptic stash
I got how-to videos
I got smoke and mirrors
Magic wands and a high-wire act
I got more on my hands than anyone could ever hold
It's like a virus out there among us
Spreading like a west coast wild fire without a compass
Resting its fingers on my soul
But my dreams are calling me so I must go
This actually really is my first rodeo

I am a citizen of the planet Earth
Been here since my birth
Where else would I be?
And that's the point that I'm tryin' to show
I really don't have any place else to go
Where else could I be?

My allegiance to the truth collides
With coincidence, leaving me circumspect
I'm a graduate of the university of higher love
With screen saver environmental awareness
But that was a loaded gravitas
Even in the age of sundials
It's how it always was
I feel just like Michael Collins
I have a handful of dust and a crystal ball
And some cubic zirconium to throw against the wall
Put the money in the jar
I just couldn't unsee that, it's what it was
Morally flexible men leading all of us

I am a citizen of the planet Earth
Been here since my birth
Where else would I be?
And that's the point that I'm tryin' to show
I really don't have any place else to go
Where else could I be?

Goin' off the rails on crazy train
If bees die, it will all be in vain
For one thousand flowers blooming in the rain
Democracy dies in darkness
It's a vortex of insanity
The truth is hidden in plain sight for all to see
Synopsing alone in the house one day
Wondering if you really know me
Or if you just googled my name
I study the stars and the zodiac
I have encyclopedias I can unpack
I got everything I need
I know how to play the game

I am a citizen of the planet Earth
Been here since my birth
Where else would I be?
And that's the point that I'm tryin' to show
I really don't have any place else to go
Where else could I be?

I'm never bored, I've got two thumbs
Discretion is the better part of valor
Your secret notes should have been heavily redacted
From the town clerk to the President
It's safer that way by nearly 70%
And by the way, it was me
I was the one who let the dogs out
Living in a little bubble with fellow idiots
I must be permitted to doubt, and to consider this
Wondering if things will ever be corrected
A genetic predisposition to
Read the scripts like actors do
To bring peace to your village
I'm willing to go down swingin'

I am a citizen of the planet Earth
Been here since my birth
Where else would I be?
And that's the point that I'm tryin' to show
I really don't have any place else to go
Where else could I be?

Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot
Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot
We can do what we came here to do
Number nine
I believe you said all you had to
An untimely death
Seviceable villain
Ohhh, bury my body
Number nine
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's bury Paul
Turn me on, dead man
Uh huh
Is he dead?
Did you Grandfather?
Dread you!
