KOTR (Kill Off the Rest) - Mataio, Koreskape & Peytn

What's gooood? Life is but a rodeo I've been running all this driving got me thinking though Measure of a man is in how what and for whooom You choose to live in equal measure I learned to treasure the lean days that help me thrive under pressure To supersede my oppressors grin like a cat that's from Cheshire And I think about how I identify with this car The smell of booze and cigars all from my childhood How the things I believe the God my mother extols Even the language I speak from colonialists My countries borders my flags and colors I'm proud of 'em But named by my forefather's fore master's future wife on a whim What story are you trying to tell? What message are you trying to sell? Why answer when they ring the bell? Why so loooud? Empty shell The sound of the sirens Ominous sounds of the city at night If it weren't for darkness How would you be so bright? What would it take for you be to be king of the road? Of the road I'm gay and trans and it vexes people We're all just people Hate 'hate' cuz hate is evil Truth self-evident that all men are created equal If that's true it's not all men it's all people What is a single goal for humankind to strive for? Devoid of chauvinism profit things we kill for We reach for the stars but have to live on earth still Where we face ourselves and really see within ourselves Unresigned to a life of mediocrity Aligned myself with racketeers bereft of integrity Now I own properties and all the equity And when I die the people I stole from name buildings after me You refused to be poor? I mean sure! You turned your basement window to hope and it opened doors But why not imbue your drive With the views you used to thrive? It's you who drives The sound of the sirens Ominous sounds of the city at night If it weren't for darkness How would you be so bright? What would it take for you be to be king of the road? Of the road What would it take for you be to be king of the road? Of the road (What story, are you trying to tell?) King of the road? (What message, are you trying to sell?) King of the road (Why answer, when they ring the bell?) What's goood? Life is but a rodeo Rodeo, rodeo, rodeo, rodeo Life is but a rodeo
