Lets talk about DISPOSABLE HEROES OF HYPOCRISY then. That's music right? ok so I like these lyrics. Life these days can be so complex we don't make the time to stop and relfect I know from first hand experience one can go delerious seriously it can be like that But before I put my foot in my mouth 'cause that's what I'm about to start talkin about please let me confess before all the rest that I'm afflicted by this addicted like most in the US It's tough to make a living when you're an artist It's even tougher when you're socially conscious Careerism, opportunism can turn the politics into cartoonism Let's not patronize or criticize Let's open the door and look inside Pull the file on the state of denial Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury Raise the Double Standard The bass, the treble Don't make a rebel Havin' your life together does AMERICA has an image of a young one fast livin' not give an expletive no respect for his or the lives of those around him Suicidal, homicidal or at very least extremely unbridled How convenient for those who would like to destroy him The problem has never been our political logic but the way we enact it We can imagine a perfect society but can't maintain a decent relationship The failure found in the luxuries not in the hardships Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury Raise the Double Standard
