Atlas Mugged
“As the zombie conflict enveloped the world, this could be seen,
They found a strange heroism in acts of self-degradtion.”
Chorus:
Atlas Mugged 'cause the world is so drugged,
He put the world up on his back and now he's lifting it up,
Without the help of many, he feels the weight, it's heavy,
It doesn't matter 'cause he knows he's got to keep it steady.
With the people breakin,' they're goin' crazy Satan,
I mean you people that destroyin' what the artists makin',
It's a constant battle, when people live like cattle,
But I can tell a snake, ‘cause I can hear it rattle.
Verse One:
I see a lot of pain,
I see a lot of sufferin',
I see a whole lot of people that are doin' nothin',
It makes me wanna turn,
But I can see 'em burn,
I try to give 'em advice, but man they never learn,
They know they got the answers,
But their lies spread like cancers,
The hounds of hell got 'em all movin' just like dancers,
Just like a marionette,
They gotta marry their bet,
The say they only live once so then they're really set,
But they're so far from the truth,
They never ask for some proof,
Accepting what the TV says so they can keep their roof,
They got designer clothes,
But can't design their homes,
Their family's living in a bunch of different time zones,
Everything a mess,
The bills they bring 'em stress,
But try to suggest that they do something to try best,
They just go back in the mud,
And try to get you to hug,
So you can be as clever as them on their stupid drug.
Verse Two:
You gotta get a job,
You gotta go to school,
If you follow what they say you'll end up like a fool,
But go ahead and vote,
They have a promissary note,
I mean the government they wouldn't lie, you hope,
Fight for democracy?,
They have to kill to be free,
It doesn't make any sense unless they want monopoly,
I got a war on war,
And anybody poor,
You can be rich in a second if you change your core,
Beliefs are really false,
If all the world's off course,
Look for better solutions and then you say of course,
And stop attacking us,
You're confused too much,
Your words are weak and man you couldn't even throw a punch,
You spend your days lazy,
You got your vision hazy,
And then you got the nerve to go and call me crazy?,
You work a job you hate,
Your whole life a wait,
And then you come at me like I'm gonna go open the gate.
Verse Three:
You wanna take from me,
And give it out for free,
Well you gotta learn what the hell is a currency,
Money's backed by something,
Otherwise it's nothing,
Produce something or you'll end up broke,
“Ask my cousin.”
People get pissed,
Because they don't get this,
If you wanna get rich you better make some shit,
Don't ever steal,
You better make a meal,
Why do you think we got problems up at Capitol Hill?,
The law is golden,
Our wages stolen,
While they keep those money presses man always rollin',
They get these dollars sold,
And then they keep the gold,
While we struggle with the price of everything ten-fold.
Verse Four:
You wanna live like this?,
Or you wanna live in bliss?,
I'll tell you how we get there, you gotta work your biz,
Do something that you like,
Disappear into a kite,
And never come down, because you hold the light.
