ALGORITHM

wisdom isn't the path of least resistance since

ignorance is bliss instinct is smarter than him think

it's the discipline of listening to god while remembering

religion's of a different thing representative

interested fickle minds pay a premium blame the media

the picture is shitty behind the veil exterior

i see the emperor's ass and i'll say it

the noblest acts go unpaid life's most liked delights are unsafe

and you're likely to die one day one way

or another society's high and i'm straight

i'd like to recover the proof discover the truth

uncover the poep that's covered in the news

but what's the use the truth is produced in a booth or hellhole

then well sold to helpless souls when told

tell a friend tell a foe television telephone

tell a gossip tell 'em all then everybody knows that's how it goes

live or die trying die or try living

this is the mission that man has been given

live or die trying die or try living

try figuring out the algorithm

live or die trying die or try living

are you alive while your mind is in prison?

live or die trying die or try living

try figuring out the algorithm

after studying your society and failing the reasonable man test

i tested an idiot's wits and it had this to say:

all the world's a stage and life is god's recital

now hold that thought like a light bulb

while the globe revolves like clocks recycle

time and season life is god's rhyme and reason

his story repeats itself rewind and see the sequel

devil resides in the detail for equilibrium

you bust an ear just to hear dad's messages but he be mum

her tears fall in the form of autumn leaves slowly but surely

the trees for the forest are seen tall and scrawny

then a flower blossoms defying cock-blocking laws of autumn

saviour for a rainy day god almost got forgotten

caution punishment imminent heat icarus meets the sun

a timer can beat his son but what kind of beast eats its young

trial by fire for rising up to be someone

if death is self-transcendence i guess there's no need to run

live or die trying die or try living

elevate your mental state climb out of the system

live or die trying die or try living

try figuring out the algorithm

live or die trying die or try living

whatever you're thinking the spirits are listening

live or die trying die or try living

try figuring out the algorithm

i'm standing on the edge of the globe closing my eyes

alive holding my breath tell brecht godot's arrived

grin boldly as i begin slowly to rise

approaching the skies what's this? i open them wide

and find an aerial image a myriad sinners

beneath me with each being scrubbed clean in a river

with no visible shores war generals whores serial killers

all mirrored in it getting smaller and smaller i'm still ascending

with non-believers and agnostics still lamenting

overhead a government of angels is hovering

in sovereign harmony it's obvious that they got god in them

his highness if this is heaven he must be behind it

he must have seen us being misguided and come to find us

who said heaven was a haven for the saved and well behaved?

who said some would be forsaken for breaking free of their chains?
