Enough - Avery Watts

Into the mind of the everyday grind, of the blind in the darkness

WHAT DO WE FIND?

It’s a kind of confinement combined with pain, aligned by mankind and

SET TO DRAIN

Stuck in a 9 to 5 to stay alive, living in a dive to barely survive

THE WHOLE TIME

You try to get ahead, just to get a little peace before you get dead

'NUFF SAID

Since your very birth, since your first breath on earth

It seems that life has been preordained

The order that it goes in?

I’ll explain:

Welcome to the world, go to school, get a job

Get married, have a kid, be a dad, be a mom

MOVE ALONG

Don’t think, don’t stop, don’t dream

Everything in the world is exactly how it seems

Were told how to look, how to act, how to feel

What’s good, what’s bad, what’s fake, what’s real

And when times get tough and it’s hard to deal

Just pick your poison and the pain will heal

Got the blues?

There’s plenty of booze to choose

Drugs to use, money to lose

You don’t need to educate yourself on the truth

That’s already done

ON THE EVENING NEWS

Born to lead, but we act like cattle

Not anymore, get ready for the battle

Sick of it all?

Then get one fist up and

Scream at the top of your lungs, hey…

That’s enough

THAT’S ENOUGH

Throw those hands in the air

Get 'em up

GET 'EM UP

Show we’ve had it up to here

Put your seatbelt on, prepare for a collision

'cause those who see with the eyes of the blind

THEY LACK VISION

Work, eat, sleep, wake, repeat

8 by 5 by countless weeks

Coffee, copies, floppies, faxes

Troubles, traffic, caskets, taxes

FACT IS: Media sees, we find life’s answers in magazines

But why even read?

Everything that you need to believe is on a box we call

THE TV

Don’t think another thought

Stop, erase, forget what you’ve been taught

You can cheat what you don’t know — Let’s break it on down:

HERE WE GO!

Your Brain?

BAKE IT

Waist?

FAKE IT

Don’t have money for it?

JUST TAKE IT

Your Hair?

DYE IT

Courage?

BUY IT

This will make it bigger over night, just try it

Go into the world and make a name

Or just do it online, in a video game

You can stay inside until you scream

And live your life in front of a screen

IT’S SICKENING

What have we become?

You’re better than all that so don’t play dumb

It’s never too late to change all this stuff

Don’t be afraid, stand up, say…

All this pissin', dissin', and bitchin' got me on a mission

My ambition got you wishin' you weren’t in the position

To be the personal ignition of my lyrical rage

I’m out the cage, blowing off the ever-lovin' chain

INSANE

To put it plain mein: I’m Gone

I’m the bane of all existence from this day on

If you want more — that man I be

I’ll snatch your eyes out 'cha head before you get a chance to see

WHO ME?

That’s right son, best believe it

'cause unlike some when I say it — I MEAN IT

I’m droppin' tricky tongue tracks when I put out the wax

Now let’s bring the hook back so everybody can relax
