I saw the pearls around Lake Merritt
In a riot cop's baton
I asked him where he came from
He said to keep moving along
So I just stood there for a minute
Just to see
What he would do to me
We both saw moving trucks
Heading north from San Jose
Some punk kids tried resistance
Like there was anything to save
Somethings are just too big
To be seen
With the human eye
Like a new born universe
The rules we've built our cage of
And your mother
I saw the few, the proud, the finest
Far beyond requests for change
With nothing now but silence
In a tent made of derange
"Go get job, mother fucker
And quit sleeping in my condo's entry way"
We both made proper eye contact
Whatever that should mean
Like sailors loading cannons
At the ending of a dream
"Leave me alone, mother fucker
And go back to your life of vague mistakes"
I'll come back to misery some day
But right now I'm content watching the lake
The most beautiful girl I know
Calls home Creston, Nebraska
I've been there once or twice
And always enjoyed my time there
But she always wants to leave
And head back to the bright side of The Bay
I consult my calculations
To see if I am right or wrong
But my calculations equate
Into some stupid song
About a slower way living
That forgets ADHD
I'll come back and see the point she makes
But right now I'm content watching the lake
But the axe just keeps on swinging
Hypnotizing as it maims
Leaving only pointed fingers
And a list of who to blame
Still somehow only trusting anyone
Who needs a microphone
To prove a point
But the world was born on fire
And there's not much that you can do
Except try to love another
Make your bed and tie your shoes
Or roll out the guillotines
And see if that changes anything
The revolution will have to wait
Right now I'm content watching the lake
I'll come back and make the hottest take
Right now theres appointments I can't break
Reality can wait
On me
Right now I'm content watching the lake
I'm just watching the lake
