nathan payne - it's gone lyrics

look up at the ceiling
tonight it’s made of stars
last night it was concrete
tomorrow it will be made of cars
i’ve got the scars to prove it!
i’ve had them all along
what happens to something
when you don’t think you can lose it
it’s gonna get worse
until it’s gone

what i want more than anything
is to sleep inside a bed
a pillow in my pocket
and a clean pair of socks
for the hobo in my head
we’ve been marching so long
it’s like i’m going crazy
is that las vegas up ahead
sinking in the sand?
or is my heart just getting lazy?
has reality become
just slightly more than i can stand?
am i inventing all those soldiers
marching toward us
an army of energy+drunk thugs
with their rotten t++th bared?
i guess we knew those cameras
would record us
the big question now is
why am i not running scared?
it’s too late for all that
it’s time for action
time to unsling my rifle
& gather up my wits
& when all of this
is over, my wife’ll
make us all a home+cooked
dinner you will not soon forget!
the drones are full of bones
i hear ’em comin’
up over that hill
like a swarm of angry bees
i need two volunteers
to neutralize ’em
here’s an extra can of raid
and a couple rpg’s
& then the bullets whizzing by me
hit the ground
& open fire
smoke ’em out like cheech & chong
you think it will get better
but i tellya man, you’re wrong
it’s gonna get worse
until it’s gone
this gun is my salvation
my protector & my guide
don’t tell me peace is the solution
cuz man we thought of everything
i’m telling you
we tried!
is this a protest
or a contest?
maybe it’s a blood test
that everybody fails
but if you want me to be honest
i think that “re+education camp”
is another word for jail
who will pin the bullets or prize
on the leader?
that little punk+ass caesar
who acts like he is god
time to take your brain out of the freezer
& realize that ron paul
is the only candidate who is not a total fraud!
we don’t want an asinine assassination
“vengeance is mine
says the lord, i will repay,”
but if you don’t defend yourself
the entire congregation
will spend the rest of their lives in prison
until that very day
you can say that humanity will triumph
you can say that the cowards
had it comin’
all along
it doesn’t really matter
which side that you’re on
it’s gonna get worse
until it’s gone
the atoms in my coffee
are dancing to & fro
the microscopic organisms in my cigarette
are petitioning me to let them go
but i was born without mercy
and without mercy i will die
so i pull on my smoke
and watch the little people choke
and laugh
while they glare at me with fury
as they fry!
try me if you want to
i’m not crazy
i would never suggest
you drop your weapon
or say freeze!
i would simply say
get out my way
this here is me & my ak
and the flashbulb’s goin’ crazy
so everybody best
say cheeeese!
as i squeeze the trigger
gracefully
like a percussionist syncopates
the beat in perfect time
i execute my accents rather
tastefully
and as my targets go down
all their screams begin to rhyme!
it’s a poem of the most exquisite beauty
performed by the world’s most exquisite corpse
if you’ll excuse the pun
i am only doing my quasi+christian duty
might as well
have a little fun
jesus would be proud
or is it allah?
maybe i did it for myself
would that be so different
or so wrong?
& whether i did it for the party
or i did it for king kong
it’s gonna get worse
until it’s gone
life, i have decided
is a mission
a stoned adventure mission
to the cemetery stars!
i have regarded all my motives
with suspicion
my lips are sitting on a shelf
sealed in a jar
but if you wanna
know what i think of your suggestion
that christianity
is a fancy word for “cancer,”
i say
presumptions that have never been questioned
should not be presumed upon
to provide any answers!
in an age that claims to be scientific
i see a lot of irrational rage
& insistence that i leave
personally, i find it rather soporific
after all
christ said, “seek & ye shall find,”
not blind+ully believe!
so hush, little baby
don’t say a word
& don’t listen to the birds
their information sucks
has not death been
flavored for the ravens?
is not that which is obsolete
thrown like stale bread
to the ducks?
juxta+po+pose your opinions
for a minute
if you will
on a plate of hardened
mashed+potato facts
do they stand up to an honest interrogation?
can you crack ’em with a kiss?
can you fix ’em with an ax?
relax, little maybes
i’ll showya how it’s done
is it prophecy or opinion?
can you put it in your gun?
can you put it in yr needle?
can you put it in yr bong?
is it really gonna
get worse
until it’s gone?

i am a mad, sparkling thing
my tongue is made of fireworks
my heart is like a knife
and if there’s one thing i am
perfectly aware of
it’s that the world is made of liars, jerks
and people who have screwed
my ex+wife!
if life is such a fabulous dream
who are all these people
sleeping in the
slush?
it used to make me want to scream
now i just roll my eyes & think
baby, what’s the rush?
though i admit
it can be trying on my patience
these environmental
patients
whose religion, man
is moot
let’s send
another sovereign nation
on a permanent
vacation
pay tribute to the people
we k!lled
with another 21
agenda+gun salute
whatever happens
i think all y’all
really are green
with naivete or envy
well babe that’s upto you
it’s not important if you think
it’s “negative,”
or “heavy,”
the only thing that matters
is whether or not it’s true!
i believed in santa claus
until i was almost 30
an’ i’ll tellya
my belief had no effect
whatsoever on the truth!
if the restaurant is on fire
does it really matter
if you’re sitting at a table
or in a booth?
so please
no more childish
self+righteous questions
“have you ever smoked a joint?”
or
“can’t we all just get along?”
cuz whether you quote the bible
or some half+baked lyrics
from the world’s worst song
it’s gonna get worse
until it’s gone
