today i found a piece of myself. my very good friend javier and i were at barnes and noble tonight writing lyrics to a song we've been wanting to write for a long time but have never just satt down and done it till tonight. i wanted to share these lyrics with my friends because they mean a lot to me, and theyre a portrait they i dont want to paint of myself and i felt much relief while writing this. so with out further a due, "hey mr. businessman"
Hey mr. businessman did you have dreams?
A shiny golden trumpet and a child on your knee.
Hey mr. businessman have you ever felt small?
All the fortune in the world and you could've had it all.
Hey mr. businessman did you ever wonder why,
The propaganda on your screen felt like such a lie?
Hey mr. businessman your eyes were so open,
Every opportunity taken was just another token.
Hey mr. businessman you never felt trapped,
The world was a mystery like an uncharted map.
Hey mr. businessman when you looked at your life,
All you saw were treasures and very little strife.
Hey mr. businessman do you have dreams?
Did the world take them from you and force you to your knees?
Hey mr. businessman do you feel small?
The buildings all around you are so very tall.
Hey mr. businessman do you know why,
The birds in the sky look down at you and cry?
Hey mr. businessman you are so blind,
You're true to your eyes, but not to your mind.
Hey mr. businessman do you feel trapped?
Your job holds you hostage like a thief with a gat.
Hey mr. businessman when you look at your life,
Does it make you want to end it all with a knife?
