Looking Glass

Look
What do you dream of when dreaming of free
What does cost and is it what you believed it to be
Who got exploited for their labor in creation of it
And who is raking all the profits off the making of it
Taking public credit for the work of others
Subordinate the artist while we running up the numbers
Would you rather be the puppet or the puppet master
Or the arsonist who burned the theater stage down faster
A selfish bastard
What do you dream when you dreaming of free
Is it chains around your neck or shackle less feet
Why do they call me such a savage when they savage to me
Why do they refer as a monkey when they dumber than me
Why do they exhibit my existence and call me a freak
All because I am a twin and my brother with me
Took us from the Philippines to perform for the world
Gave us diamond and pearls
This life of luxury
Look
What do you dream of when dreaming of free
Is it the kiss from a lover you ain't seen in weeks
Is it choosing a dollar over family
Are you living in the moment as it's happening

We been working for the man all day
Don't know when we gon see our pay
Easy for you to pass judgment
Staring through the looking glass
Looking glass looking glass
We been working for the man all day
Tell me what's normal anyway
Children laughing as they walking past
Staring through the looking glass
Looking glass looking glass

I am not your pet
I'm not your scapegoat
Not to be studied for you to take notes
I am human
I am a man
I am human
I am a man
Look
Autonomy's in the plan
Tour the world with bro
And stack every chip we can
Betting on ourselves
And all the members of this band
Turn third world poverty into a couple hundred bands
A couple hundred bands?
Flip that then double back
Til we raking in
Big checks and fat money stacks
Shows so crazy audience keep coming back
If the critics say it's weak
Then we show them why they whack
For publishing that bullshit
Preach tabernacle coming live from the pulpit
Conjoined twin brothers that you was cool with
Going out with a bang like a bullet

We been working for the man all day
Don't know when we gon see our pay
Easy for you to pass judgment
Staring through the looking glass
Looking glass looking glass
We been working for the man all day
Tell me what's normal anyway
Children laughing as they walking past
Staring through the looking glass
Looking glass looking glass

Aye Lu
What up Simplicio
They wouldn't even know what it's like mane
Haha for real
I hear you bro
But we gon show em what it's like on this side of the looking glass
Yup!
Turn up on em!
One time!
Let's go!
We Out!
