Calculate the Risk (Live SBN Radio Session)
A tributary, rivulet, basic stream or sweeping canyon cutter
A detoxing, high achieving, selfish motherfucker
I'd rather be a reservoir
A reservoir
A reservoir and
I'd rather be a reservoir
A reservoir of ideas that are just for you
A hunter gatherer with ambition and a perfect aim
A mafiosa with a contract on his mommas head
And i have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you yet again
And on a barn door there's a sign reading
'Don't let yourself get bogged down'
I chose to be angry
But failed to make the killer speech
It took me so long to notice
That we could hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Just calculate the risk
I wish i were the owner of a vineyard in the south of spain
And find a woman with a pawnshop and a factory downtown
Down to her mansion for some lessons in romantic pain
I'd build a railroad
On a bassline
Then i'd write it down
A hunter gatherer with ambition and a perfect aim
Walking upright, neocortex, breeding options girl
And i have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you
I have failed you yet again
I chose to be angry
But failed to make the killer speech
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Just calculate the risk boy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Hide! so easy
Hide! so easily
Just calculate the risk
I'd kneel and take a bullet in the back, kid
But would it stitch the disenfranchised to the masses?
Calculate the risk boy!
