BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
ol' Iron Tracks
- never mind the thought train headlight
- dropping cross bar and the flashing red light
- next time minds whistle blows, know to look twice
- like a raven on the road, noise come, took flight
- look I wrote the book right, stuck to it like cooked rice
- core of me is castle like, across the board like a rook might
- heart sings a Owls cry that spooks mice, dead tree stoop to skies
- not a who's who with pea shooter guys, singing anthems
- tuned to the youth demise, like a canned ham hoof in the loaf surprise
- {thats a foot where the food goes} toes tapping treble hits on your toothy smile
- your walk met your talk found the gap was wide, no lie
- in just trying to get by I found life, in the deep night where i seen sky
- orion arched back, shooting arrows to the future, armed for further fights
- a charm to nurture life, blessing and burden to engage in doing right
- failure's ever present, built a structure that illuminates with light
- accumulates hands for the fight, building legs that both move/ and stand for what's right
- more than just Handle life, talkin' might from shared plight,
- clear sight through myriad fears instilled by
- the owning class whose rule, on humanity is ill blight
- when its harvest time, a rotten tuber collected and stored,
- like profits influence ignored, can ruin many dinners doin's
- with greed we spoil from inside, keep watch from first step forward
- so as more of the poor are pushed to the wage floor,
- politics is a game where there pulled off by a cane from a stage door,
- whose tables would be flipped if Jesus came back and
- let the rage soar
- a nations wealth passed to rich while More get poor and the rest get more poor
- Three jobs; new norm, rent costs; first born, and hollywood blockbusters the most violent porn
- while the sons, broke of hope, help and homes find guns,
- and then headlines as fabric of society's torn asund er,
- no wonder we try to purchase some safety (cards that pull us under,)
- bills vs. paycheck clap thunder
- drenched in the rain of low wage pain, no gain, under constant strain
- dignity lost to boss is the refrain isn't it awesome we're all so tame,
- while shameless exploiters exclude and abuse for their gain
- if the routines the same and we expect different, we're textbook insane
- the rain can clear, with faith lost in false gods, named boss or the cross that
- we bear, no profits to share /building and breaking for the holders of shares
- hope you notice the glares, cuz the rich keep the poor there by social snares
- cloaked and uncloaked collecters of tolls and fares, if you hold nothing you can still
- hold despair, they can keep your fingers bulging with only that right there
- Know that's where. like a Coda to go back there, thoughts spiral and go down stairs
- to the cellar and furnace with its coal black stare,
- to burn all i've earned, Joker's gran acte le guerre
- the system talks promises with toxic air, all broken
- result is, the townfolks crying and choking
- defiant, i'm invoking the past unspoken, til we
- call out the wolf in sheeps clothing,
- don't close your spiral bound just keep noting
- the wealthy win, the state steps in the rules golden
- there's no revolving door it's the same building. maaaaan!
- banks, think tanks, high ranks, make killings
- patent protection on meds: keep the poor from healing
- no borders for cash but for children, every clash sends us back
- so we're always rebuilding, they blast holes we refill them,
- til when will we only know a knees bend, which part of our heart
- will we defend, can we be women and be men? For a life more
- than just a weekend, we were born with one breath in the deep end
- we gotta surface, nervous kicking before a black out seeps in
- against assured death our reason, our fight for life to begin
