The Last Days Of The Monoculture

A long night of earth shakes

All fits and starts and turkey vultures

What a difference a year and seven seconds makes

In the last day of the monoculture

Extended stay America Durham

I panicked in the cereal aisle

I bought the pitch and I took the serum

I implicated myself at trial

I busted that fat righteous fuck

And you know what they say

Busting makes me feel good

He was eating off my page

He was copying off my plate

I lost my bearings but I gained a conscience

I finally knew the con games from the content

I finally knew the face of the controller

On the last worst days of the monoculture

Now it's policy shocks and tinfoil hats

And Picasso on eBay that has to be a counterfeit

A stranger once told me that when life hands you lemons

You should probably quit

We swept the nation like a dance sensation

While we watched the dead drop at the metro station

You can't be too strong and you can't be too sure

In these last waning days of the monoculture
