The Thing About Dynamite

from Me and My TV by Eliquate

/

lyrics

The thing about dynamite is that it's just
it's indiscriminate and simple, it simply combusts
it's the intention of use that's the source of it's evil
catalytic driving force that is better know as people
an equal reaction is all that we have asked for
a way to hit the streets when we are dropped upon the last floor
that's more important than protection from ourselves
because when push becomes oppression aggression becomes shells
but hell, we're a nation built on the backs of unrest
a possession of arms and a tendency to forget
when cause for alarm breeds a cause for a threat
this causes alarm and it lodges regret
in our want to remember all the rendering gets
a bit pixelated and the sender is vexed
fix this so favorite stories can still inspire men
to not be so careful and take aim when firing

let's say that for the sake of being argumentative
the same argument is getting so repetitive
it's how we planed it and we never abandoned
the plan it was all along to be cannibals god damn it

The thing about chaos, is that it's fair
indiscriminate and simple, it simply doesn't care
about the path of it's destruction or the way it gets compared
to worst parts of our nature because malice is not impaired
by any form of order because the "plan" is to be sure
that they all don't have enough while at the dame time I need more
random has no intent, just like the Lord
I'm talking new NEW testament not the God we knew before
not the God that left to waist the awful Sodom and Gomorra
but the god that left or lean broken dreams and rotting floors
and if there is a pattern then I simply can't ignore
that God is a real fucking asshole his plans have no remorse
so let this be the happenstance we worship and adore
because it gives us half a chance to have control of what's in store
all hail the binary system, it's live or die
the only thing that stays consistent is a fatalistic hind sight
