lyrics

Post Post Modern Blues
No such thing absolute truth
Except for the ones we chose to control your time and your point of view.
Postmodern Blues.

The world gone mad and so have I.
God is dead and the devils alive.
Facts mean nothing and you can't rely on your brother or your sister 'cause they're livina a lie.
Postmodern blues.

Everything you are has been conditioned by the culture and the structure that you live in.
Nothing is biological, the earth is flat and there ain't no sun.
Postmodern Blues.

The real news looks like a parody, the parodies look like the real thing.
Sense means nothing, nothing makes sense.
Still you gotta try to make sense of it.
Postmodern blues.

All the younger people are getting woke.
All the younger people are getting dope.
All the younger people are getting broke.
All the younger people are getting post... modern blues.

Layback culture got you back to far.
Better come forward find out who you are.
Because if you don't do it no on else will.
The time is now and there's none to kill.
Post modern blues.

Are you confused yet? If you are not yet confused then you don't know enough.
Sometimes I think I know too much and that's why I got those Postmodern Blues.
Are you confused yet? If you are not yet confused then you don't know enough.
Sometimes I think I know too much and that still don't seem to be enough.

You can't say faggot, shit or fuck.
You can't can't call me a cunt even if I'm one.
But what if it's in the right context at the correct timing in the correct place?
Postmodern Blues.

Sacred plants bein abused, charlatans on their pursuits.
The Buddha's teachings commodified, liberation has it's price.
Postmodern Blues.

If all are the victim then who's to blame?
The baby boomers or melinnials?
The Z generation or the corporation?
Either way we're all in the thick of this shit.
Postmodern Blues.
