More of the Same

 

Battle lines are being drawn

The time traveler stops and then moves on

He’s already seen it all before

The lying words that lead to war

 

But to turn us back upon our own

They make us delve into the unknown

The road less traveled is all that is left

For down the other lies the edge of the cliff

 

Cities on fire with a slow burn

Awaiting the next screw for them to turn

Tried white killers on the television screen

But blacks killing whites are just a bad dream

 

Throw them together for the next foreign war

Then bring them back home when dividing the poor

 

Good thing that we let the best play football

When America plays games

There’s hardly any discrimination at all

Except for more and more bad calls

 

All are equal giving their souls for shots for pay

Except for Kyrie Irving and the quarterback from Green Bay

My guess is the best don’t get a hot shot

But second-tier players have a lottery spot

 

Athletes around the world are dropping right and left

All of them told they were doing “What’s Best”

I can’t understand why they won’t fight for their lives

While kicking a ball is sensationalized

 

There are better things to do than play football

And the scabs will replace you with no trouble at all

The clot shot is liable to bring an end to your game

While your money and health will go down the drain

 

Pilots and athletes and soldiers and cops

Needed on the front lines to make it all stop

Neurological damage will go to your brain

And the more that you take you’ll get more of the same

 

The time traveler’s now ready to haul ass

He sees it again and it all comes quite fast

The fuse has been lit and explosion awaits

With the radicalized now taking the bait

 

And sooner or later we all meet our fate
