The Setting Lyrics

Welcome my friends, I invite you cordially
Strap in as I paint a portrait of this morbid scene
White kids wishing they were the minority
Blasting out Odd future screaming fuck the authority
Welcome to private school where life is so orderly, ornery
Students orbiting airs of superiority
The same dork will join in on a Sorority
Bearing an MTV reality show in her ovaries
And the same jock who’s laxing and maxing varsity
Will end up constantly checking his account on e-harmony, OMG

Rappers sell their soul for a miniscule royalty
While an Atlantic manager kicks back with a Corporate fee
Just to be snapping clapping rapping and smoking tree on your TV
Commercial time, Ads criticize your physique
Kids upload crazy shit on youtube to be Charlie Sheen
If our shadow’s before us, how can we follow dreams

On this evening I’m seizing the heathens screaching
All the teachas policemen even the activists and veagans
Were all liars of eden, treason,hypocrits and leaches
I’m the Allen Iverson I’m practicing what i’m preaching
The days are syrupy, the sky is turning burgundy
Like the clouds were stitched up and had a failed surgery
Emergency, emergency, absurdity, absurdity
Were turning into mercury and burning with a third degree
Sip Herbal Teas, at universities, discussing diversity
While we travel down vertically, they’re burglaries for burgers, jeez
All for currensy, serve it all commercially
Put sherbert in computer chips and poison in the circuitry
The government has us as mere children to their paternity
Ignoring our screams of urgency, otherwise known as ferbering
So much uncertainty we have to turn externally
But were worshiping a mime who can’t express it verbally
The Birds and bees are circling, it’s all done perfectly
We haven’t earned to see eternity’s anniversary

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
