Drunken Rant

Drunken Rant (Clarity in Vino)

The world simmers on the brink,
1984, Thought Police, Doublethink.
A world at war, peer into the void,
Suffocate the love, embrace fear, drown the joy.

Ya…hey.. put me on the spot… not a bother,
Look… the world is weird,
It’s… I don’t even know what it is..
For me, it’s… I dunno, I don’t know,
Seems dangerous to give your opinions these days.

Ya, I .. I’ve no even…like…. words prepared here,
It…It’s just flowing off the tongue,
Ah, the world to me at the minute,
Ah, I don’t enjoy it at all, I…
It’s…it’s just all getting a bit too much,
It’s.. it’s a bit too mad,
I need truth, I need realism,
I need that it is not just all socially constructed,
That’s me and I know it’s not everybody else,
But that’s just me.

Without these things my brain
just fuckin melts, It just melts,
I find all these, these… I dunno, oh I don’t know, I don’t…
Oh I’m even afraid, I’m afraid to speak, like

Well I know one thing, I’m not a feckin idol, aha,
I’ve done nothing…to…put on the pedestal,
Jesus Christ, give up that shit,
That, you know, fuckin praying for an idol.

If I could give anything across to you,
It’s believe in yourself,
Because nobody else will, that’s for sure.

Hand on my heart, I don’t know what to think,
This is unscripted, tsssh
Ya, god bless, I could say anything,
But, no, in fairness…look..
I’m not trying to be the divisive,

I  would love, just, the whole of us all to get on
Obviously, Jesus Christ, why would I , why would
Anybody want anything other?
But… I don’t know… my heart is pessimistic.

Go on white boy, no pressure,
Hah this is all deemed hip-hop,
But, look, what I do is Spoken Word,
It’s.. it’s poetry.
I don’t give a shit, if you like it, you like it,
If you don’t, you don’t.
But… it’s, it’s about words, it’s about people, it’s about places…

Ya, look, I’m not going to act like this is all a ball of happiness,
A ball of I love you, you love me, it’s not…. The world is weird.
