Civil Obedience (Explicit) Lyrics
Civil Obedience - Sage Francis
You can't kill me motherf**ker
You can't kill me motherf**ker
You may try but you will die
You can't kill me motherf**ker
Go to bed late then I have to wake
Get to work keep it goin' can't stop can't take a break
Gotta get it done in time for me to do the things I wanna do
But by the time I finished it it's time for me to talk to you
And then explain what I do in my day well
It's complicated and you say "Pray tell"
And I will try if I miss any details
Think about it later and then send it in an e-mail
Cause my brain is on a loop but there's a buzz
That I need to troubleshoot not now
Gotta-gotta get the work done
Last night some other day is turnin' to the first one
I never gonna never gonna
I am never gonna never gonna
I ain't never gonna ever gonna die
Huh pedal to the medal gonna get ahead
Gonna run another red light in the dead of the night
Lettin' the light from my cellphone distract my eyes
Sexual text messagin' to my mind
Fingers are busy but now I'm lookin' in the mirror
Cause the people behind me they're givin' me the middle finger
I'll kill 'em if they pull up any closer to my bumper
Short-tempered mother shut your mouth
Drinkin' the coffee now I'm dumpin' it out
He's honkin' his horn like "You wanna throw down "
He thinks "Oh boy you wanna go now I'm ready (I'm ready)"
For the typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
(di-di-di-difficult isn't it )
I'm just a man with a company van
And a supervisor who just does a summary scan
And a coworker who's always like "Just cover me man"
In the morning we all get into the huddle again
Like "Can we even make more money "
I wonder what the luxury is really taken from me
I don't even have to worry (ha-ha-ha-ha-hiiii)
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedient people
Are gonna die
'Cause they can't live
My life
All eyes on the small guys makin' small noise
In a small town with the small music men
You're just fall guys in the law's eyes
Your voice is worth more than you know and you're not foolin' anyone
I'm not a con-artist your pencil and promises eroding eraser tips
I'm sick of your colleges
Expensive taste-tester: "Spit that wine"
Excessive waist chest butt; it's that time
For me to get randomly checked again
Bored until you're marked with a blood-red pen
Water bottle sittin' in my pocket and I'm walkin' with a grin
Cause the liquid isn't permitted
I'm rippin' up the ticket
For the lady at the counter as confetti in her face
Shoulda never let me in this place
Fly fly boy in the brownest state
I got a feeling that I'm never gonna get let out the gate 'cause I'm the BOMB
Yeah I said it; cool collected and calm
Maneuver through the computer to do a little song
My music got the charm
Smoother than a cougar attack the mic and get on the intercom
"Hello passengers fellow activists
Whether you're masochists mellow pacifists
Tell those faxin' it is no accident
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedience
Typically cyclical simple civil obedient people
Are you listenin' Love I got a theory for us
Can you hear me enough can you hand me my stuff
Bout to move out this scary cemetery you trust
Livin' just a little bit it isn't nearly enough
Livin' just a little bit it isn't nearly justified
Because ah-ah-ah-I ah-ah-ah-I am
Never gonna never gonna never gonna never gonna die
I wanna kee—I wanna keep making things an-and
Death really is-is uh not to be part of my eh-everyday activities
It's not to be in my music anymore I don't want it there
It'll-it'll sneak its way in and out but that's that's we're beyond that
I mean de-de-death only as a concept is what
Matters and-and God as a concept is-is-is
One of those huge things to me
Um and to you I know you I know you much
Better than you think I do uhh
I hope we meet sometime I wouldd love to
Shake your hand and um maybe get a kiss
Uh right there on my face
And uh I don't know maybe have sex a little bit
