Face Time

You know you got to keep me insulated, isolated, elevated
Far from the people that we talk about
Learned all I need to know from my favorite TV show
Know that I'm right because my internet will tell me so

My family tells me that they're all the same
That they're liars and they're criminals. It's better if you stay away
But now I'm thinking that the father is adulterated, brother is incarcerated, Mom is rehabilitated

When were back in school we're taught were all the same, but when we get back home
They're playing a different game
They say: separate but equal won't bring you no shame
Don't you know, it makes it easy for the family this way

I went to see Doc Ricketts--laboratory in his shed. I told him about my emptiness
This is what he said

There's a fire burning down in the human heart
shining brighter than the sky, sun and moon and stars
If you feel your fire burning low open up to the others that you never know

That you never know... Those that you never know... Those that you never know
Let's go

Go ahead and have yourself a seat. Let'em see the spinach in your teeth
I'm sure you're gonna have enough to eat. Get some, get some, get some

Get some face time, in your life. Get some face time
Get some face time, in your life. Get some face time
Go ahead. Have yourself a seat. Let'em see the spinach in your teeth
Get some face time, in your life. Get some face time

I never wanted to be educated, segregated, consecrated
Far from the people that we talk about
Got my suburban home. Work my fingers to the bone
British aristocratic names adorn the winding roads

I listen to the public radio and I hear their stories. Man those people I should get to know
Now I'm thinking that my pension all evaporated, kids are almost graduated
Time is all eviscerated

So I stare at the machine, all day even in my bed. Is this to be my life, from now until the end?
They say: Shut up and focus on your net-worth instead
Don't you know? It's going to her second husband when your dead

I went to my old school, found my teacher wise and read
I told her about my emptiness. This is what she said
Watch out

There's a fire burning down in the human heart
Shining brighter than the sky, sun and moon and stars
If you feel your fire burning low open up to the others that you never know

That you never know... Those that you never know... Those that you never know
Let's go

Go ahead and have yourself a seat
Let'em see the spinach in your teeth
You know you're gonna have enough to eat
Get some, get some, get some

Get some face time, in your life. Get some face time
Get some face time, in your life. Get some face time
Go ahead. Have yourself a seat. Let'em see the spinach in your teeth
Get some face time, in your life. Get some face time
