Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence
Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens
Settled in 1634 by some Europeans called the Dutch
Wooden shoes, the first fashion statement in Williamsburg
Immediately gentrified, the Mohawk tribes were bought out
Their sacred hunting grounds became vintage clothing stores.
In 1664, the British took control with promises of
organic tea and prix fixe brunches
A revolution broke out, when the brunches ended at noon
United we stand for mimosas
in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge gave passage
for Zagat to rate Grimaldli’s pizza
By 1898, Manhattanites had had enough
and with Jay-Z’s okay annexed the city
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a once proud sovereign city
Brooklyn, Brooklyn we still have cheaper broker fees
Brooklyn, Brooklyn we might be Manhattan’s little bitch
Brooklyn, Brooklyn but we’re so much better than Queens

Burn the skyline
Bury the headline
Hung, drawn, and quartered
Deliberate disorder!
The devil’s been dancin’
With Mr. Whitebred
Men of distinction
Certain extinction
Gamble the trust fund
And let’s have some real fun!
We weren’t lookin’ for a fight
But the time feels right
For a classless class war!
Where the caste is cast aside
The caste is cast aside

Malcontent, enlist the ghost
Disconnect with self-control
Confident derelict
Resurrect your burdened soul
When you’re at the end of your rope
And you’re drinking to keep from thinking
Let go! Let go!
I wrote this song so you could sing along
When the voices in your head insist on silence
peace and quiet
Let go! Let go!
I wrote this song so you could sing along
When the voices in your head
are understanding, but unforgiving
Let go! Let go!
I wrote this song so you could sing along
When you’re at the end of your rope
With no reason to find a reason
Let go! Let go!
I wrote this song so you could sing along
Have you lost your way?
Your sense of humor too?

Skin & Bones

So thanks for meeting me here
This means the world to me
These are words we don’t speak to each other over the phone
I have a funny feeling that I’m almost dead inside
Preconceptions and falsehoods are everyone’s fault but my own
I’m not too proud
No, I’m not too proud
I’m not that proud
Of myself
But I’m…
Just skin and bones
No heart or soul
To compromise
And there’s been something I’ve been meaning to say to you
Please forgive me if I don’t articulate it well
It shadows the truth, the heretic’s muse is catastrophe
You’re an angel, but I’ve put you through hell

Void (Remix)

We choke the dignity out of one another
Now we’re all drowning in the swamp
Since when is ignorance the measure of success?
We used to see the light in any situation
But now the fog blackens the sun
I hope your aspirations glow in the dark
To be completely honest...
I haven’t thought about it…
But you raise a very interesting point...
It’s hard to sleep when you shit in your bed
It's hard to think with a hole in your head
Void - I’m completely void
