God of Gamblers - 80s Poem Lyrics

Livin in these times
Where we watched 24
Hours of the day, where to turn
Where to go
Find a little peace in my head
Never know, what to think
Everything blurred on the road
Into the future, will I exist
Or, will I be scrapped
For the bot, doing tricks
Flip burgers, read minds
Scan all the chips
Inside our hand, enter if you risk
Life for the state, kill your thoughts
Eat the grass, whither like your soul
Meet the ghost from the past
Paranoid, stay afraid
Hug on a gat
Aristocrat, pull trigger
Pockets get fat, face turnin thin
Lackin good sleep, run around in circles
Like chains on our feet
Scarred up, broken, stay high in them trees
Trynna dodge the truth but truth
Shall increase
Deep in the eye, lies untapped potential
Some never see it
Eye is too vengeful
Settle on them scores
Lust never settles
Only want more, cuz more blood, equal medals
Everybody talkin, like they have answers
God smiles gently, plagues them with cancer
Eats up they body, now they stunned
Baffled
Want to know more
Go consult Charlie Manson

Death near, the end close
No fear, we die alone
Shot dead, life's joke
Someone, fill the role
These shoes, gettin tight
These drugs, can't fight
Braindead
Who decide
Who f*ckin blessed, who sacrificed

Livin in these times
Cats front about they image
Some say they real, they blind
Settin limits, on the universe
Trynna climb up the pyramid
Knock another down, just to hoard all the riches
Save for the future, will we exist
Or, will we all melt from the nuke on our skin
Peel from our back, broke
Lift all them sins, turn to a burden
Goat blood to forgive
Acts in the dark, necromancer with words
Channel from the heart, float deep in that herb
Green like a monster, hide and observe
Way of the Christ, devils plot in the church
Form the great schism, flesh versus soul
Tear ya self apart, never be whole
World steady talkin, I'm walkin the road
Of an insane man, with the wisdom of ghosts
