Lyrics Vertigo - Gray Fox

They try to teach us that the world is only black and white, rather, blue and red
That's the American plight: fighting over who dunnit, who gunnin', who runnin' these jewels
Acting like We the People are fools, the tools they use to bruise the same rules they claimin' are protecting us
But really are arrestin' us, oppressin' us
Tryin' to throw us under these busses
Hiding in their shelters while we're bombed by the Russians
It ain't so out of whack when you step past the palace to see the bigger picture painted with a green palette
Calloused, sipping from the same chalice
They keep us chained in the basement while they drinkin' in the attic
We're grinding through the shit within our daily lives, getting home to paradise
Watching news screens with a lazy eye being super mesmerized, feeling like we're out of line
Man I got to go to bed to get to work on time
Wait, I gotta catch this debate
Fusing with the drama, let the hateful spit coagulate
Sour taste
He said, she said that
Vocal diarrhea from our future world leaders
We're meager and hungry for a better bet, something that is tasteful yet, maybe grown and fresh
Instead, a gluttonous barbeque contest; gotta vote for which pig tastes the best, and it's delicious
Because we are solicitous we are never seditious and so these villains can remain officious
And super efficient in conditioning the sharks and the fishes
Wicked, but they play it off as business
Everything is calculated, keeping we as the scapegoats
'Cause who knows best than the people with the say-so?
You better lay low if you wanna take home, 'cause they pay gold to keep us busy, dizzy
Vertigo

You wanna play the game? You better feed the snakes
You gotta look both ways before you change place
