Babylon Lyrics by Greenhouse

Electric Purgatory Part Two

2010

[Verse 1: Blueprint]
A seed from Babylon, the caged bird sings the saddest song
Packs of wild dogs run around, bury bones
Police teams terrorize the streets and carry arms
As ill as it seem, nobody blink ‘cause that’s the norm
Stress is a heavy load, hard-pressed to carry on
Despite, we fight against heavy odds like Larry Holmes
Temptation’s a chameleon with many forms
He’s motivated ‘cause his will to win’s very strong
Send gunslingers, gangbangers, hangers-on
Taken under by the very blocks they’re standing on
Seen veterans haunted by what they seen in war
Never dreamt of being poor, now their people we ignore
Another pacifist hoping that it catches on
Give back, pay it forward, just pass it on
Walked in the line of fire, run into a danger zone
With plenty God in him like the track that I’m rapping on
While you’re on a song bragging ‘bout the baddest [?]
Somebody else need shelter, wishing they had a home
It’s real funny style what we base our status on
Never knowing what you have until what you have is gone

[Verse 2: Illogic]
Middle class massacre, fleece the public pocket
Freedom cost your soul, what a dignity deposit
Pantomime to pacify the spin cycle
I stay boxed out on the outskirts ‘cause outbursts incriminate
Fascinate the overzealous orthodoxy
Hypocritical handshakes from smiling kamikazes
Crashland in bandwagons
Facilitating foundations for grandstanding
I chuckle at the mediocre grandeur delusion
While you’re handing down genes of this brand of confusion
Pop culture pedophiles, fondlers of legacy
Voluntarily masochism devalues our pedigree
I wanna shatter the television mirror
Then Windex the soul’s windows, the television clearer
An uphill battle, but it’s still worth the scars
And your travel’s adversity helps reveal who you are
Terrified of the puddle’s reflection of pain
Walking on the sun but drowned in a flooded insane
They encourage you to go along the grain
But you keep losing individual ’til Borg is your name
Grass-is-greener mind states, scarecrow-brain-mass
Intimacy issues with the clarity of stained glass
This is what we have become and we embrace it, take it straight
Don’t chase it, face it then change it
