miles cooke - the pollyanna principle lyrics

had to rap til they shook for a lifetime
but placating was wiser in hindsight
from the handouts to palm readers
it’s gonna be a long evening
drinks for the war in my mind
peace to the certainty in tides
a long day has no equal
painted such a grand story
what the truth gotta do with not believing
wrote the script out the spin doctor’s reaches
the black out effect what i’ve bottled speaks volumes
had to queue the laugh track my apologies
what did you think would be the outcome?
the misalignment sold for thе novelty
the shoot first attire for thе eager
a gorgeous day indeed for the mighty
where they beat a man til the fight bleeds out of em
then ask you why you not smiling?
check it since we both make a living wage
if you really got my back no need to turn the page
start writing
disturb the water cooler conversations
redline til you clock out workdays
back to the bread line high notes
act like you been here in the first place
eyeing it. tried to tip the scales
but most folks be unbothered
likely weight of the world behind em
didn’t choose their god to be the dollar
showed up melancholic just for fodder
met a muse in violence
i’ve tried compliance
but the shoes don’t fit for this long walk down the short plank candidate
don’t try to size me up stood amongst the basics and the highest
it was not an honor a well of expectations sung the oddest
lost amongst the masses
spent money it’s known it goes to ashes
still gotta clock in tomorrow assh0l+
neighborhood watch from the barstool
act a hermit when he faced with the daytime
talk like it only hit below the waistline
y’all can’t seat me on the side lines
refuse to be an outlier
zero sum game applied til none becomes the wisest
hope the soma start drowning out the sirens
secrets
bottled up behind the peachy keen calluses…
better hope you mean what you say while preaching pretense
fire when i felt like it
penny for your thoughts til i make it rain senseless for leverage
now who the h+ll is quiet?
burn cabbage to keep me in the bylines
pessimistic with a pollyanna routine remedy
that’s how i started rhyming
finality has gotta be the silver lining
in the meantime this black sheep came to rap

had louie looping what a wonderful world
an insane life a comedy
pursuing what i do is useless
few i kept along for the movement
simply placed with anomalies
or the misdirection flew amidst amus+m+nt
i’m half altruistic half horrible
but you won’t find me resting on my laurels
such a sisyphean concept for you
sunk+cost fallacy out the brick and mortar
how y’all sum it up? cause cash on the barrelhead is dumb enough
healthly skeptic cause the handshakes don’t mean you get credit
off with their heads then the meet me halfway was no pressure
i’ll float an antidote with no effort
bring the rain and two of every animal
go figure
it’s pessimism with a pollyanna routine remedy

‘cause ain’t no time left for a trial run
what did you think would be the outcome?
