[00:11.98] My rhyme ain't good just yet
[00:13.48] My brain and tongue just met
[00:14.67] And they ain't friends so far
[00:15.91] My words don't travel far
[00:17.54] They tangle in my hair
[00:18.67] And tend to go nowhere
[00:20.10] They grow right back inside
[00:21.35] Right past my brain and eyes
[00:23.04] Into my stomach juice
[00:23.85] Where they don't serve much use
[00:25.90] No healthy calories
[00:27.15] Nutrition values
[00:28.90] And I absorb back in
[00:30.27] The words right through my skin
[00:31.90] They sit there festering inside my bowels
[00:34.71] The consonants and vowels
[00:40.68] The consequence of sounds
[00:46.18] The consonants and vowels
[00:52.30] The consequence of sounds
[00:57.18] Got a soundtrack in my mind
[00:59.05] All the time Kids
[01:00.24] Screaming from too much beat up
[01:01.68] And they don't even rhyme
[01:02.74] They just stand there on a street corner
[01:04.49] Skin tucked in and meat side out and shot
[01:06.30] And I'd like to turn them down
[01:07.74] But there ain't no knob
[01:08.69] Run into picket fences
[01:09.69] Not into picket lines
[01:11.38] All this hippie shit for the 60's
[01:12.95] And another clich for our time
[01:14.33] But a one of these days your heart
[01:16.07] Will just stop ticking
[01:17.01] And they sorta just don't find you till your cubicle is reeking
[01:21.09] The consonants and vowels
[01:26.97] The consequence of sounds
[01:32.65] The consonants and vowels
[01:38.47] The consequence of sounds
[02:07.32] Did you know that the gravedigger's still
[02:09.25] Getting stuck in the machine
[02:10.69] Even tough it's a whole other daydream
[02:13.25] It's another town it's another world
[02:15.32] Where the kids are asleep where the loans are paid
[02:17.82] And the lawns are mowed
[02:18.94] Whad'ya think all the gravediggers were gone
[02:21.13] Just cause one song is done
[02:23.07] There's always another one
[02:24.63] Waiting right around the bend
[02:26.44] Till this one ends
[02:27.44] Then it begins
[02:28.32] Sqeaky clean then it starts all over again
[02:30.82] The weather report keeps on
[02:32.76] Tossing and turning
[02:33.57] Predicting and warning
[02:35.00] And warning and warning of
[02:36.69] Possibly it could be news publications and
[02:39.06] Possibly it could be news TV stations That
[02:43.01] Very same morning right next to her coffee
[02:45.82] She noticed some bleeding
[02:47.36] And heard hollow coughing and
[02:48.69] National Geographic was being too graphic
[02:51.57] When all she had wanted to know was the traffic
[02:54.63] The worlds got a nosebleed it said
[02:56.94] And we're flooding but we keep on cutting
[02:59.44] The trees and the forests
[03:00.88] We keep on paying those freaks on the TV
[03:03.44] Who claim they will save us but want to enslave us
[03:07.01] Sweating like demons they scream through our speakers
[03:09.81] But we leave the sound on cause silence is harder
[03:12.75] And no one's the killer and no one's the martyr
[03:16.01] The world that has made us can no longer contain us
[03:19.45] And profits are silent then rotting away cause
[03:26.48] The consonants and vowels
[03:31.29] The consequence of sounds
[03:37.23] The consonants and vowels
[03:43.11] The consequence of sounds
[04:12.58] My rhyme ain't good just yet
[04:14.21] My brain and tongue just met
[04:15.52] And they aint friends so far
[04:17.15] My words don't travel far
[04:18.40] They tangle in my hair
[04:19.84] And tend to go nowhere
[04:21.39] They grow right back inside
[04:22.83] Right past my brain and eyes
[04:24.52] Into my stomach juice
[04:25.96] Where they don't serve much use
[04:27.59] No healthy calories
[04:28.96] Nutrition values use
[04:30.52] And I absorb back in
[04:31.96] The words right through my skin
[04:33.58] They sit there festering inside my bowels
[04:36.59] The consonants and vowels
[04:42.71] The consequence of sounds
[04:48.71] The consonants and vowels
[04:54.71] The consequence of sounds
