Neurotic Society

Lauryn Hill

We're living in a joke time, metaphorical coke time
Commerce and girl men, 
run the whole world man
bold ,drunken debauchery...
old world brutality
Cold world kills softly, 
whole world run savagely
greedy men and pride fiends
program TV screens
Quick scam and drag queens, real lifes been blasphemed
Think twice it's past dreams, crime if you ask clean
Quick fast, the poison has entered the blood stream
Psychological master, consequences are tragedy
Mythological characters, men and women as parody
Superficial vanity, borderline insanity
Out of order humanity, crime committed so passively/randomnly
Desperados and casualties, corporations want batteries
Explanations and strategies, domination and mastery
owned, jonesing and bankrupt, grown people so corrupt
vice lords and yellow men junkies of popularity
Culture so in dependence, vultures scavenge reality
Past feeling depravity 
decaying social cavity
Preying on human ignorance, popular immorality
Symptoms of diseased head, population misled
Self indulgent past dead, absence of God head
Pimps, pushers and harlotry
Nepotism, no artistry
Despotism and piracy
Desperation, dishonesty
Business decision policy
more money lesser quality
Inflated global ego, imitating reality
Pseudo psycho new pharaoh, poisonous bow and arrows
Hypo critics on salary, idle hands devils agency
Predisposed to complacency, jealousy and audacity
Contagious social gluttony, stages of mass malignancy 
epidemic deception, generation in atrophy
Glam life in debt, scam life and editors
Byproducts of neglect children hiding from creditors
Absence of self respect, phony scared of competitors
Lifestyle of luxury at someone's expense
Sensitive children, used up as sacrifice
Blinded to consequences, smoked up in dope pipes
Ecstasy, fast life, recklessly pass life
Narcotics and cash fight, this neurotic society
Benefactors turned actors, addictions triple captors
Experience manufactured in this neurotic, toxic society

It's like post-war, they looking for the communists or who the marxist is
10,000 pictures on Facebook, that's like the pot callin' the kettle narcissist
Come on really, saying the devil, but you're the chief arsonist
Hypocrites can't even see their own part in this
No reflection, vampire paradigm
No introspection
this star that star rants has a break down
3 months before pure obsession, picture can't take down
Children, it's a shake down, they're just looking for a sacrifice
They been doing this since before Bobby Darin sang Mack the Knife
Before James Dean's car did a jack knife
perhaps because they lack life or lack guts
Never confuse the head with the butt
Opinions are like assholes and most of 'em stink
I was told by a woman, so rethink, don't let these motherfuckers ever lead you to drink
Lead you to doubt, lead you to fall
Get up, stand up,  (and)cast Lucifer out
Shake it up baby, watch them twist and then shout
Insecure assholes just looking for a ticket
To ride on somebody 
like the Pick It, 
it's fucking wicked, shame on a 'nuh'
This neurotic toxic society

Sick psycho psychology in desperate need of psychiatry
Exorcisms, sobriety, forcing
 social lobotomies
People stuck in dichotomies, pseudo-sicko anxieties
Serial criminals dressed in variety
Social transvestism, subliminal dressed up as piety
Transference projections like Cartesian images
Robbing innocence, stealing away inheritance
Quiet victims with no defense
betrayed over dollars and cents
Maladjusted and ignorant
 mal addiction and dissonance
Too much addiction, no consciousness
Don't trust it, the cosmology's busted
Broken it returns to the dust, it stinks of corruption
Oppression, deceit, abuse and repeat
They don't feel complete unless they're misleading/ robbing the sheep
Man is not a product if you call it that then stop it this neurotic godless society
