nnamdissimo - kotr lyrics

[verse 1]
what’s gooood? life is but a rodeo
i’ve been running, all this driving got me thinking though
measure of a man is in how, what and for whooom
you choose to live in equal measure
i learned to treasure the lean days that help me thrive under pressure
to supersede my oppressors, grin like a cat that’s from cheshire
and i think about how, i identify with this car
the smell of booze and cigars, all from my childhood
how the things i believe, the god my mother extols
even the language i speak, from colonialists
my countries borders, my flags and colors, i’m proud of ‘em
but named by my forefather’s fore master’s future wife on a whim
what story, are you trying to tell?
what message, are you trying to sell?
why answer, when they ring the bell?
why so loooud? empty sh+ll

[chorus]
the sound of the sirens
ominous sounds of the city at night
if it weren’t for darkness
how would you be so bright?

what would it take for you be to be king of the roo+o+ad?
of the road

[verse 2]
i’m g+y and trans and it vexes people
we’re all just people
hate ‘hate’, cuz hate is evil
truth self+evident that all men are created equal
and if that’s true, it’s not all men, it’s all people
what is a single goal for humankind to strive for?
devoid of chauvinism, profit, things we k!ll for
we reach for the stars but have to live on earth still
where we face ourselves and really see within ourselves
unresigned to a life of mediocrity
aligned myself with racketeers, bereft of integrity
now i own properties and all the equity
and when i die, the people i stole from name buildings after me
you refused to be poor? i mean, sure!
you turned your bas+m+nt window to hope and it opened doors
but why not imbue your drive
with the views you used to thrive?
it’s you who drives

[chorus]
the sound of the sirens
ominous sounds of the city at night
if it weren’t for darkness
how would you be so bright?
what would it take for you be to be king of the roo+o+ad?
of the road

what would it take for you be to be king of the roo+o+ad?
of the road (what story, are you trying to tell?)
king of the road? (what message, are you trying to sell?)
king of the roo+o+ad (why answer, when they ring the bell?)

[outro]
what’s goood? life is but a rodeo
rodee+o, rodeo, rodeo, rodeo
life is but a rodeo
