EGO BUBBLE

i was walking
'round and thinkin'
you got yourself a sophisticated city here.
mainly downtown
where rumors are buzzin'
inside my guitar tuned ear.
but i live comfortably
inside these walls
of my clear ego bubble
but you came along
with a needle and poped it
and the burst was suddel.

my ego's like a lizard
cuz it can change colors
as from blue to red to black
and back to some others
but it's a talent
that has yet to be shown
you say you caught it years ago
but it has yet to be thrown.
i suck on this
key lime candy
like the world sucks on their daddies lies,
though the government
sucks on more than that
if you have the products to supply.

while they shout out
on the public service t.v.
how much they're prepared for war
and how so much it'll help this country
i still exist
breathing without my bubble
trying to fend off the troubled rumors that we care
but it's just a slogan
the man upstairs in the white house uses
to flaunt this country's flare
and nancy grace
is reporting the news
saying this and that
as if there's something we can do
and unfortunately we can't.
i can see the ego of me
isn't that much nowadays
compared to that of celebrities
and reporters
tryin' to get the famous shots
yelling "over here, please please please!"

i think i'll march up to washington
with my ego trailing right behind
where i hope to come across democracy
though i'm sure monarchy is what i'll find.

officials say if my ego burns the flag
i must not be patriotic
but if they turn around and do the same
the feeling is melodic.

but i love our pacific main street
and the flashing cars and nickel coin bars
cuz if my ego gets lost
it can't travel too damn far.
though if it gets stolen
by hook or by crook
i can't help but produce missing flyers
so ego trippin' citizens can start to look.
when it gets returned
i want it in the best of shape
best as in no bumps or bruises
no cuts, nicks or scrapes.

these gangstas have the baggy shorts
and so do all the skaters
but deep down in their generation x souls
i can sense they're just a bunch of fucked up fakers.
cuz it seems this generation
can't get in touch with themselves
mainly cuz their egos are so large
that they barge
off that high end bedroom shelf.
