The grand geniuses of modern days
Look around, beware of new slang terms
A complete gibberish for us old timers
Abbreviations or made up words
Verbal sloth by screenagers
Are they trying to prevent arthritis
or severe cases of wrist tendinitis?
Anything to save a click
With tight schedules like theirs
there's no time to waste
YOLO, savage, bae, high-key, low-key
Enlighten my way cause I lost it
Phrasing's obsolete since they
hashtag what they do or say
stay woke, can't even, goat, hundo p
Such nonsense, still need decoding
When in Rome...let me try once
#whatthefuckisgoingon?
Words that no one really understands but keep saying them cause it's the latest trend
Thanks to West, Drake and Bieber's sayings
The grand geniuses of modern days
Using smart combinations of words
and tell the world it's some kind of subculture
"Z's" find it cleverly fun
but if you ask me I find it pretty stumb!
(The combination of stupid and dumb)
"Wassup" is being reduced to "sup"
Netflix and chill means; cuddle and fuck
"Bye Felicia" is for "go, I don't care"
Not understanding get me laughed at
I tried and tried but failed this task but
#notasinglefuckgiven
Look around, beware of new slang terms
A complete gibberish for us old timers
Abbreviations or made up words
Verbal sloth by screenagers
The ever-evolving bastardization of the written and spoken words and phrases
Caused by the idolatry
of unintelligible celibrities

White House

White house
Dear mr. President, I don't know where to start
Lately, I've been concerned about your wherabouts
Despite the bodyguards, enhanced monitoring
I have this sinking feeling your health and safety here is at stake
These four walls are the only things you're allowed to see
Your oval office looks more of a square to me
The debriefing room is a field of broken dreams
Your meals are half-food, half-pills
This white house is not the same
No one wants to run this 4 year mandate
To end up on the wall of fame
We're all surely be presidents of a white house someday
Another day goes by
Another king's been crowned
Another stretcher's rolling
Another presidential funeral
Please sir, try this new suit
or should I say a gown
Never in my life have I seen
a scepter with tubes and wires
With so many fellow-citizens circling the drain
We nominate new candidates here every day
Those events might never get on the news
So they'll start again with someone new

Picture Perfect

Picture perfect
Back to square one
Does not seem like a bad choice
When all you say or do ends in a fight
So being apart tend to be the sanest one
Yet you decide to endure this alone
But that tone, that look in your eyes
I've seen this countless times before
Transparence is your cry for attention
Two kids, a house, a dog, a car
The picture-perfect kind of life
How could there be trouble in paradise?
Confliction, neglection
Eternal discontent
Frustration, acceptance
Humans are their biggest foe
They rather be miserable than alone
Blue in the face
Your heart's in the right place
but someday you'll have to think for yourself
"I'm totally fine"
"We're just having a rough time"
Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself?
Let's not mix things up here
It's commitment not co"maid"ment
Don't you feel taken for granted?
Your absolute best's not enough
Is it time for you to come off
Remember: till death do us part
Does it apply if you're dying inside?

Pandemic lullaby
Dear friends from around the world
How do you feel?
We've all been warned so many times but now this shit is getting real
Exhausted by anxiety
confined in a prison cell called home
One for all and all for one
Let's stay united in this mess
There's no more borders anymore
Only brothers on every shores
Now it's time to open your eyes
Never too late to realize and learn from everything we've done wrong
So here we are
This is not a test this is not a war
Egocentricity's gone too far
No one dseems in charge anymore
We have to hold on tight
and give humanity another chance to prove that unity can win the fight
Let's try to make the best of this
And put the light on what we've missed
A simple gesture might become
A bette future for someone
Stop mourning about what we've lost
We need to learn how to win
Back each other's trust
Now it's time to open your eyes
Never too late to realize and learn from everything we've done wrong
(So here we are)
This is not a test this is not a war
Egocentricity's gone too far
No one seems in charge anymore
We have to hold on tight
and give humanity another chance to prove that unity can win the fight
Dear friends from around the world
How do you feel?
We've all been warned so many times but now the shit is getting real
The shit is getting real
(One more time)
This is not a test,
This is not a test
this is not a war
this is not a war
The egocentricity's gone too far
This is not a test

Global Warning
You've stopped eating meat and you’ve bought a bike, you’ve banned plastic bags from your life
Don't bother me if you supported a cause and change your lifestyle just because
Your narrow-mindedness start to change your speech
as your goal seem harder to reach
You’ve turned your back on me
The day I refused to share your philosophy
Why don't you put your trust in someone than yourself
I will never pretend to be someone I am not,
(I'm not a fraud)
I've never fight for a cause or raised my fist against the laws
It doesn't mean that I don’t care
If you don’t see me out there
Handcuffed in the back of a police car
I'm sure you don't feel smarter now
you won’t change anything that way
So you begun to question yourself
The day your gilrfriend make the choice
To stop wearing bras and quitt shaves her legs
She’s follow lifestyle just because
Your open mindedness is started to changed your speech
When you've found your goal won't be reached
You called back at me the day you decide to end your stubbornity
You start to put your trust in someone than yourself
I will never pretend to be someone I am not,
(I'm not a fraud)
I've never fight for a cause or raised my fist against the laws
It doesn't mean that I don’t care
if you don’t see me out there
Handcuffed in the back of a police car
I'm sure you don't feel smarter now
You won’t change anything that way

The log
Don't get me wrong, you're still as great as you always been
But something's odd, you've changed in ways I cannot fully understand
Lift it up with blinders on
while in your own backyard, the whole world falls apart
Why don't you let go for once
that damn log, this burden that no one but you cares about
Don't get me wrong, you're still as sweet as you always been
But something's off, I somehow feel like dropping from first to second place
There will always be lending hands
Why not let one arm free to reach them
It's ok to show you're strong
but you're not fooling anyone
Baggy eyes, massive weight loss
Hissy fits, anger, teardops
Endangering your health because
of your constant fear of being judged
You're not a failure, you're just tired
So drop the log and don't be a martyr

The Tyler Durden way
Don't say a word unless you say: I'm sorry
Your puppy eyes aren't working on me anymore
I won't let reason being soothed by pity
I won't be manipulated by your charm
You had us more than once but now you got exposed
Is there anything in life more interesting than you?
(Your pedestal's high enough)
Feelings and empathy are foreign words to you
(It's either get down or fall)
Don't run away if you don't know what to say
Truths or lies, do you even know the difference?
Don't run away if you don't know what to do
Stories don't always have to be about you
We all know the old recipe to this overconfidence
Add willful blindness
A scoop of arrogance
A pinch of "strutting"
It's the "Tyler Durden way"
We know everything there is to know about you
(You know nothing about us)
Always serving us embellished truths
(Most times you were there with us)
Don't hesitate to nod or ask some questions
It's what we call a "conversation"
We all know the old recipe to this overconfidence
Add willful blindness
A scoop of arrogance
A pinch of "strutting"
It's the "Tyler Durden way"
