Don't Dance (You're Better Than That)

from Livestreams in Quarantine vol. 2 by Xibling

/

lyrics

Don’t dance you’re better than that
television sets interfacing with rats
Where revolutions die offices arise
people like people objectified

Whats the difference masterpiece or slave
you can be as beautiful as a suit and a shave
they can’t force you or your will to change
me against the world or savior of the day

Profit off the lonely their dead but their dead but still kneeling
service to the common cents the dollars and the dealing
some are selling rockstars others buy the feeling
a melody is just a dream without the meaning

Understanding is just life eating its own tail
Use your mother for a boat and your father for sail
Live out your fantasy like a nail in your coffin
I know this life is hard baby but without you it will soften

Believe that you are making love but remember there’s no reason
Our mouths are going to fill our lives with many desperate beings
To be something is to think it but that don’t mean you’ve got freedom
When people understand you they will love you for the season
