5. A Tocqueville Paradox
Imagine yourself alive in England In a year ruled by kings & saints An outhouse that you use for bathing Hunting everyday instead of hitting Walmart Instead of the convenience of everything
You have it way better then they ever did
A tap with clean, running water All your goods on delivery A banking system built with corruption Everyday an excuse for complaining When you live in the most convenient time There’s an app for everything

We Slip into the Pond And we fall in together We Slip into the Pond And we crawl out together
We’ve had our ups and downs Just like a College Football season Some get Injured Some get healthy in time Everybody makes Mistakes That’s how you learn And navigate threw Making my way back And doin it my way Trying to drive on This highway
Among the Tragedy Swimming Away from harm Into safety A Life jackets all I need Swimming Away From Harm Into safety Where it rains constantly Which is fine by me And it rains
7. Sowell
A man you’ve never heard of Had the best ideas Writen 50 novels Lived over 90 years
There are no sollutions Only trade offs Compared to what? At What cost? What hard evidence do you have

(Year’s From Now) We made it We made it We made it She made it home
9. We Spent
We spent our lives waiting for things to…change and now they won’t
We said a minimal amount of time, till things are back to…they way they were
I said id act and give… The benefit for the doubt I was wrong And so were you
At Home Waiting All Night (and the aftermath Left still) All day (the youth are years behind) All the time (from the mistakes that we made) We waste
How will the history books be written in the future We did the best we could? We now know that policy never really Worked But let’s double down Some say that we didn’t learn a thing And I agree
10. Attention Spam
Everybody’s watching The screen that’s in their hand Everyone’s Distracted now Relating to no one else You have spend years wasting away On rare earth minerals I know just what your thinking Everything is tracking you There trying to get you back
Where’d ya go, it happened again It’s starting to show
