Swim Upstream

Stand up belly up to that alphabetical trend
Nine times out of ten I want to fit in
It works in cycles how many times can I try to swim upstream
Count the ways I've been propagated on too much to act upon
Savor the taste of that redneck clown dead on the ground
Manipulate to make a fish scream I swim upstream

Now you take the victim I've got the victim life at the door
The halo hung by a string cut loose now it's on the floor
I plant my seeds of realization in the pocket of my coat of death
The halo hung it's so cold you can see her breath
Manipulate to make a fish scream I swim upstream

In my state of bliss I can't miss
Dressed from head to toe I have no idea
How my generation reacts to greed
With my formal grudge I can't budge
Tear down this house that I have built
I feel guilt being pacified with this venomous milk

Stand up belly up to that trend
Nine times out of ten I fit in
It works in numerous cycles how many times can I try
Manipulate to make a mother fucker scream I swim upstream
I gotta swim upstream

Step up to my state of bliss I don't miss
Dressed from head to toe I have no idea
How this generation punctuates my greed
What's my formal grudge I don't budge
Tear down this house that I have built
I feel guilt from being pacified with this venomous milk
