Don’t come around here talkin bout You’ve got the skills to be the best You want a room in the mansion? You better be blessed And not blessed like “go in peace” But blessed like I said my piece and nobody Agrees and now they’re staring at me
And I’ve gotta get past it I’ve got a wall in front of me And I’m gonna blast it
We’ve got our bikes, coffee and books Our bikes, coffee and books Let’s go!
I’ve been running at nitrous speeds Grinding teeth and breaking feet My American dream just sits so small
But I know I got the strength In my skinny legs To beat what you’ve built in your head! Yeah my American dream! My American dream! My American dream!
We’ve got our bikes, coffee and books Just bikes, coffee and books and that’s all!
Get the nerves under control now, hey! Get the chemicals under control now, hey! Get the black book under control now, hey! Get the hand-eye coordination meal ticket dirty mind self-obsession brain defect advantage mirror-managed analytical psyche probe under control!
I’m finally grown and understand for The rest of my life I’ll be thrown The cage is a myth, man is the monolith And what’s culture without trying and failing? Give me the keys to the mansion! And countless times after being down for the count I’ll be amazed there was ever any d-d-d-doubt
And I can holler about it Take it or leave Because it’s fucking hard And I am fucking free!
I’m still wondering what you’re looking for in this I’m still wondering what you’re looking for in
If our construct was abandoned I would think outward and not forward And I’d probably take the bus And you’d have a nice car, You’d have a nice car
My gravity’s not reversed, it’s just Replace with something else So go back to the textbook I can’t be grounded I can’t be grounded
