Hello cruel world

This can't be real
This doesn't seem real
Seems like a scripted event
Ask "What would be different
If the whole thing were fake?"
The answer is NOTHING
You pledge
Your allegiance
To a flag
That's been bought and sold
This can't be real
This doesn't seem real
Hello cruel world
Ruled by evil
Say hello to a brave cruel world
Our dark age has already begun
I propose that nothing
We just witnessed was real
A Play
Market research
Showed would placate
An arrogant
Confused
Populous
That's used to abuse

I don't mean to hurt your feelings
I know you're sensitive
A word you use: Snowflake
Melts facts into mistakes
I don't mean to hurt your feelings
I know you're sensitive
You've done nothing special
You've done nothing special
You're not part of something greater
That's just what they tell you
To make you do what they want to
C'mon in 2017 nations are business
You've been bought by the lowest bidder
You're not default special
Aligned with a regions logo
It's fucking fabric
You love it
More than your neighbors and friends
More than decency
More than the morals prescribed
By your own churches

After all everything is made of patterns
After all everything is made of patterns
It's the errors that interest the most
When they repeat indefinitely
After all everything is made of patterns
After all everything is made of patterns
It's the errors that interest the most
When they repeat indefinitely
Formations of stone
Provide the error
Deemed by selection
To be worth repeating
Deemed by selection
To be worth repeating
The universe
Views itself through cracks
in the Crystalline

My name is bud

It's always savin' lives
And it gets me high
I did the research
Informed decision
They tried to sell me pills
Told me it was health
Started believin' when I was a kid
Now I'm skeptical
Green inseparable
I took my gas mask and made it a bong
This city smells like dope
Chronic gives us hope
Hemp materials endless respawn
My sister's name is Mary Jane
And mine is bud
Mine is bud

See monster

Now don't get me wrong
My core belief is peace
But approaching a line in the sand
When racism combines with police, banks and law
When we keep people in camps
When churches dictate who we love
I've had enough
Don't forgive racists
Cut off bigots
Disassociate
Make sure their family, friends & coworkers know what they are
I don't see person
I see monster
OK I admit
I feel hate every day
Towards humans that create
A structure of society
Based on trivial physical traits...No
Let's clarify the difference...Ya
And force unequivocally evil ideas to stop
Don't forgive racists
Cut off bigots
Disassociate
Make sure their family, friends & coworkers know what they are
I don't see person
I see monster
