Plenty Good Reasons Lyrics

Why does worst case

Win the purse for first place

In the competition

Between seein' and vision?

Everything looks like a tussle

To the muscle of self-defense

Magnified mood is skewed by an anxious lens

But "Takin' is easy is easy to say" they said

You got plenty good reasons for sleepin' underneath the bed

None but you and one or two boxes of shoes

Man don't be obnoxious What have you got to lose?

You idolize the activist names

Idling the engine of change

Rave and wail over every detail of the game

You've been leadin' the game-day cheers

You've been watchin' for all these years

No grid-iron grass on your back from a tacklein' play

Not everybody puts their body on the line

But who hasn't got a little light to shine?

Sparkle in the darkest hour unabashed and brave

Fumble around for your matches

Strike until one of em catches

Follow the shape and stumble on out of the cave

The honest few

Take a jaundiced view

Express their bile

Suppress their smile

Til' justice comes

To the restless bums

With taser burns

But no place to learn

Them that got God's number

When they talk about hunger

Say "The least prestigious

They will always be with us"

"some lapse in judgment

must'a lead them there"

But when judgment comes

how will the rich ones fare?

They got ones and fives and twenties and tens

the rent and the lights and the nights with friends

Spreadsheets bleed with the tender trends

but it's nothin' but bumps and spikes to the likes of them

"Takin' is easy is easy to say" they said

we got plenty good reasons for sleepin' underneath the bed

Nothin' but you and one or two boxes of shoes

Man don't be obnoxious What have you got to lose?
