lyrics

Lyrics:
Kinga Bauer:
This, is, nothing but static to me
I cannot seem to see why you're being
This dramatic with me
What do you have to say?
Emphatically laugh in your face!
Life is just a cosmic prank...
Is this how you want to live each day? x2

cosmicprank:
(Man, nah)
This is not how I wanna live it
I wanna just quiet up all the drama making me livid
Not really tryin' to relive the trauma in my old lyrics
Not tryin' to only be that old guy who's oh so satiric
(Yeah!)
Tired of manufactured arguments
Tryin' to print my problems out, drop 'em like shredded documents
I think I'm spewin' common sense
But to these dudes it's pompousness
They need to hop off the dick,
Stalk someone else's consciousness
(Maybe)
These aren't people, just makeshifts
They can't seem to stand the people they share space with
It gets a bit abrasive
Livin' inside a snakepit
People look like they're smilin'
It's side-effects of the facelifts
(I don't know)
It's not like it's uncommon
To get misrepresented
Hence the term "strawmen"
But once I get, drawn in
After I hit, log-in
The chips from my shoulder slide over
I'm like "all-in"

Kinga Bauer:
This, is, nothing but static to me
I cannot seem to see why you're being
This dramatic with me
What do you have to say?
Emphatically laugh in your face!
Life is just a cosmic prank...
Is this how you want to live each day?

cosmicprank:
(Man, nah)
Debatin's often not productive
But songs can live on for eons if they're disruptive
Lyrics can be seductive
Whether pimpin' or loveless
Or they can get you hype
Bring the motherfuckin' ruckus! (suuu)
(Yeah)
So I make a move to this palette
I can make beats and rap, but who can't?
It's not talent
But I'm still gettin' at it
Throwin' paint by the gallon
Cuz one day anyway all we all see is blackness
(Maybe)
I should pity internet arguers
They might not have much else in life
And that's not dark-humor
But those that have talent
And fritter on twitter are far fewer
That's kind of even sadder
It all but ensures a dark future
(I don't know)
It's not like I can blame you
These companies spend big bucks
To basically claim you
And I'm not tryin' to shame you
Not even tryin' to save you
But if you got talent, man
Just use it before they drain you

Kinga Bauer:
This, is, nothing but static to me
I cannot seem to see why you're being
This dramatic with me
What do you have to say?
Emphatically laugh in your face!
Life is just a cosmic prank...
Is this how you want to live each day?
