Your last chance to sell out

 Your last chance to sell out 


we’ve been impressed 

with the consistency of your work 

the way you dress 

you’ve cultivated this look 


like to make you an offer 

join us with what we do 

want you as part of a team 

to have your voice in the future 


we’re making something new 

to revolutionize the world 

going to shake things up 

it’s really going to move 


you might not like 

everything you see 

we don’t expect that

individuals make up a team  


but at the end of the day 

isn’t security what it’s about 

there’s a lot to be sacrificed 

if that’s what you want

Annoyances

 annoyances 


the future needed your help

it wasn’t begging 


it didn’t have anything to sell 

just wanted to tell you something 


everything you thought was solid’s 

boiled off into a gas 


everything that was promised 

has been shown not to last 


now there’s just you 

and a little bit of time 


that you were planning 

on spending any way you like 


maybe you’d consider the picture’s 

blurry and not to your liking 


you could move some things around  

get perspective on what you’re seeing 


there was someone there at the door 

now they’re gone 


don’t know what they came here for

it seems like they’ve moved on

True

 True 


you should try being true 

it’s not the easiest thing to do 

it won’t pay for new shoes 

but it might save you some trouble 

some time from now


I used to worry what 

others would think 

I used to get along 

because 

that seemed easy 


but it took me places 

that weren’t easy 

to leave 

especially 

when things got ugly 


there were others around me 

whom I liked 

and they disappeared 

but their words stayed with me 

and they turned out to be true 


now I speak from the heart 

even when things get dark 

it can get lonely but 

I’ve learned not to care so much 

I just want to be true to myself

Materialism
