vic adamo - best intentions lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve been thinking to myself, (like)
how’d we make it so
the devil owns the commons
and the progress
and the payroll?
and if the power’s to the people
then i can’t see it
’cause we’re runnin’ ‘round in circles
tryin’ to chase our own ego
square the circle, stop the hearst though
from runnin’ rampant
through the fields and the campesinos;
don’t overthink it
just look down and pull the parking brake
to make a u+turn on the road to h+ll

[chorus]
it’s a well+meaning world out there
full of little pr+cks
and best intentions only get you so far

it’s a well+meaning world out there
full of little pr+cks
and best intentions only get you so far
[verse 2]
yo, if i can’t hate the player
i straight up hate the game
rules that reconstruct asylums in the brain, (yeah)
made for the insane (yeah)
’cause in the book of life
you be on page two
when they’re changin’ ninety+six
in real time
making good time
on the road they paved
with genocide of bloodlines
in columbus’ name (yeah)
so what you put your hand up for
to tell the truth or to save yourself from the coming war?
for a gold star you’d burn the forest floor
what you really learn in school, boy?
did you learn who wrote the record
the textbooks
the adverts
the concepts
the bills and plans?
all made to cover up the real suspects
reinforcing them, us, them, us, them
boy unlearn, unlearn
[chorus]
it’s a well+meaning world out there
full of little pr+cks
and best intentions only get you so far

it’s a well+meaning world out there
full of little pr+cks
and best intentions only get you so far

[verse 3]
best intentions only get you so far
but what’s next?
i got my own neurosis (here)
that’s gifted me a complex with a bow tie
so live up to my reflection?
there’s a whole back story of rejection:
my father
the system
the two world wars that still live in me
(oh) and communism
that shot down my v like a dog
to get the money
and if it’s in my blood
then let the record reflect
that my soul is an imprint
of pain and regret
of the ones before me
and what they’d say if they were here to console me:
if there’s one life you lead
don’t let those best intentions
keep you asleep
or keep you up
[chorus]
it’s a well+meaning world out there
full of little pr+cks
and best intentions only get you so far

it’s a well+meaning world out there
full of little pr+cks
and best intentions only get you so far

[instrumental]

[outro]
wake up at a time when the law is the trouble
we’ve been sleeping so long
all our takes have turned double
and if yesterday’s changed
then tell me why we screen the same future

wake up at a time when the law is the trouble
we’ve been here for so long
they making money off the struggle
and for just another dollar you can supersize your conscience, can’t ya?

wake up at a time when the law is the trouble
we’ve been sleeping so long
all our takes have turned double
forget discovery
eradicate the business plan for poverty

wake up at a time when the law is the trouble
we’ve been here for so long
they making money off the struggle
1492? nah, more like one six one nine

wake up at a time when the law is the trouble
we’ve been sleeping so long
all our takes have turned double
concrete sure feels good in the face of the tyrannical!

wake up at a time when the law is the trouble
we’ve been here for so long
they making money off the struggle
more fuel on the fire to keep dreamin’

keep dreamin’
keep dreamin’
keep dreamin’
keep dreamin’
