Land of the Lost by The Palmer Squares Lyrics
[Verse 1: Term K]
Time has come, now you best get in line
The henchmen of blind justice running your lives
Thunderous cry comes from inside
They're all in cahoots, salt in my wounds and blood in my eyes
Fuck this shit, comin' unequipped, trial and punishment
For the one percent until the government is functionless
Live in judgement of the bloody rich
Bark and they muzzle it
Teeth of a shark to a guppy fish
Now the system will only cheat you (Cheat)
Rogue elitists for businesses ovеr people (Peacе)
Bear witness to the system, they ain't give you no subpoena (Nope)
Gitmo didn't close, the system can hold the secret
This is the home of freedom
Home of the overeater
Home of the frozen pizza
Home of the broken dreams and home of the cult believer
Home of the holy heathen
Home of the sheep herder
Home of the soulless reaper
Cold and fevered
Stoned into coke and reefer
Sniffin' like gold retrievers, blowin' my Dolby speakers
Fixin' to close my peepers
A rolling stone, no green but a full grown distance has grown between us (Uh)
That's how the filthy rich do it (Rich)
Find a cash cow so they can milk the bitch stupid
Land ass backwards in loot
And slash taxes until the NASDAQ crashes
I'm backlashed, tense and my neck is sore
Keep a fat bag of hemp in the dresser drawer
There's a storm on the rise, better get indoors
I'm that thorn in your side here to settle scores
You a child on a message board
I'm down at the record store sharing needles with some scary people (Woo)
I'm givin' shouts to the blessed Lord (Shouts)
It's the northwestern court jester knockin' on Heaven's door (Knockin')
[Chorus: Term K]
I'm livin' in the land of the lost
Where everybody stand for a cause
But don't nobody stand for a cause
When we're all where I be
Lord God carry me from the land of the lost
You're livin' in the land of the lost (Uh)
Where everybody stand for a cause (Yeah, woo)
But don't nobody stand for a cause
[Post-Chorus: Term K]
Term got a slack to his jaw
These hands like animal paws
As the world turns I yearn for some cash to withdraw
Where I are is the land of the lost, uh
[Verse 2: Ill Legit]
Uh, bro
For too long I've been livin' in the land of the lost
Can't get a job as long as the man is in charge
Who the man? Did you ask, jackass? that's your boss
The guy who kicks back while you just work your ass into exhaustion
Wonder how many grams would've cost
To get his ass dragged off to a plot in a coffin, huh
'Cause I don't give a damn anymore
Can't stand what you stand for so plan for a fallin'
You ran while I'm joggin', tortoise and the hare
And of course it isn't fair but I still manage to score wins
Y'all play, this is your time to forfeit
And if you don't quit the mortician can embalm ya
I'm mobbin' with the harmers, grenade in my palm
Couldn't wait any longer to bring your fate and your karma
Today you on a date with a suicide bomber
Was gonna ask for a raise but fuck it, why bother boss man?
You really shoulda made me an offer
So I wouldn't have to be so irate in your office
Disgruntled, try to speak your mind and get muzzled
I press a button, turn this building to rubble
I went by the book, played by the rules
Y'all took one look at me and played me like a fool
I was given a gift, supposed to use it as a tool
But society wants to brainwash you until you drool like a workaholic zombie
Slave 'til you're dead, buried making your bread
But they get paid while you sweat
And what makes me upset is how I stay in some debt
How I owe them when they take half the pay from my check, huh?
You best get out my way and respect
'Cause I'm 'bout to go postal and I'm aimed for your neck
You better check what's goin' on in the land
It's all part of a bigger plan
The government's startin' another holocaust, man
[Chorus: Term K]
I'm livin' in the land of the lost
Where everybody stand for a cause
But don't nobody stand for a cause
When we're all where I be
Lord God carry me from the land of the lost
You're livin' in the land of the lost
Where everybody stand for a cause
But don't nobody stand for a cause
[Post-Chorus: Ill Legit]
Tyrannical plans of disarmament
No tangible argument
Been standing my guard, I'm a cannibal starvin'
Where I are is the land of the lost
[Verse 3: Acumental]
Yo, yo
I'm a bombastic combat reporter
Sorta outlandish, in a cocked hat sorting out madness
Viewer discretion advised
Meet your demise
Believe your eyes, feel the temperature rise
Too much oil and gas where the water should be
Too much water where the ice should be
Too much ice in the hearts of the guys that been harvesting lies, pulling cards, taking lives
(What a sight to see)
Indecisively we carry on with our hopes low
The block's hot, drop bombs on our foes
Debts are gettin' high, they're coming for your pension, for your life
You can cut the fucking tension with a knife
It's a blessing to survive, we're losing our liberty
Elusively add another troop to the infantry
Our future is history
So make moves with efficiency or choose to conduce to the misery
Now let me show you how I do like an injury
The bittersweet masquerade of truth is bewildering
I disagree there's better days on the horizon
We can aim to find 'em, yo, but if we fail it ain't surprisin'
Reptilian brain, fight or flight, kill or be killed
We need to rebuild, we need our free will
Psychotic hatreds, myopic statements
I vow to break this, y'all, I'm bound for greatness
Trapped in a low IQ population
You watch, the plague spreads throughout the nation
'Cause we don't rise to occasions
We expect the occasion to land in our lap
But it don't happen like that
We take it back to Cro-Magnon man
We don't have the valor, we don't have a plan so
Throw your assumptions of copious love in the dumpster
We don't have a chance
[Chorus: Term K]
I'm livin' in the land of the lost
Where everybody stand for a cause
But don't nobody stand for a cause
When we're all where I be
Lord God carry me from the land of the lost
You're livin' in the land of the lost
Where everybody stand for a cause
But don't nobody stand for a cause
[Post-Chorus: Acumental]
You can tally the flaws
Give half of the cost to the man, to the boss, uh
Another grandfather clause, I'm at a loss
Where I'll be is the land of the lost
Time has come, now you best get in line
The henchmen of blind justice running your lives
Thunderous cry comes from inside
They're all in cahoots, salt in my wounds and blood in my eyes
Fuck this shit, comin' unequipped, trial and punishment
For the one percent until the government is functionless
