My Bullshit Detector

Updated: May 12, 2022

Every morning I’m wide awake at roughly 4am

My trembling insides scare me half to death

My brain denies me of more sleep so I watch YouTube instead

Then it’s time to face the world and put on the gloves again

I gotta fight for my home I gotta fight for tranquility

I gotta fight to be with the girl I love I gotta fight for integrity

I gotta fight to stay employed I gotta prove that I exist

This tired soldier’s wounds won’t heal if he keeps on getting hit

Just like those marvel superheroes I fight from the heart

In constant battle with your egos, I gotta protect my art

I fought against real demons sometimes I struggle with myself

All this conflict is accomplishing is my decline of mental health

They say life was meant to be easy but look at it now

The whole fucking world is against me

And the system keeps letting me down

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but I’ve just about had enough

My bullshit detectors over blown and my thresholds at its cusp

I’m not fighting over nothing, I’m all about fairness and truth

When I rebel against authority I go in with nail and tooth

We shouldn’t have to fight to make peace

I don’t wanna combat anyone

But you will concede defeat if I have to pull out my big gun

I get up I go down, I get back up I get back down

I’ve had enough of this town

I wanna yell you can all go to hell

They say life was meant to be simple but look at it now

The whole fucking world is against me, this place is run by clowns

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but I’ve had it up to here

So I switch on my pinball machine and open me a beer
