Ich Habe Genug (American Dream)
One time I was listening to Bach's Cantata 82
Over and over Ich Habe Genug
I loved him for saying what I couldn't shake
I was sure that I knew what it meant
That i've had enough, I've met my edge, I'm over this shit
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Now I'm older I can see how many things I've mistaken to be
Dollhouses of truth with foundations of sand
Meanings I tacked on so carelessly
Is it any wonder why it wasn't clear?
I've been chasing all my life what all along was right here
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
But let's be honest, you and I were never this type
And aren't your feet tired from running after
Someone else's dream of a life?
See, when mother culture had birthed me
She gave me the curse of insatiable appetite
The very same American Dream that
Fitzgerald revealed with the green blinking light
But the words wait patiently for me to find
When the rest implodes, then chant the ashes of my mind
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Over and over Ich Habe Genug
I loved him for saying what I couldn't shake
I was sure that I knew what it meant
That i've had enough, I've met my edge, I'm over this shit
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Now I'm older I can see how many things I've mistaken to be
Dollhouses of truth with foundations of sand
Meanings I tacked on so carelessly
Is it any wonder why it wasn't clear?
I've been chasing all my life what all along was right here
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
But let's be honest, you and I were never this type
And aren't your feet tired from running after
Someone else's dream of a life?
See, when mother culture had birthed me
She gave me the curse of insatiable appetite
The very same American Dream that
Fitzgerald revealed with the green blinking light
But the words wait patiently for me to find
When the rest implodes, then chant the ashes of my mind
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
Ich Habe Genug, ich habe genug
