My 2nd Instinct

My satisfactions?

I need them satisfied

This is an altercation that I can get behind

My second instinct is to trust you so I'll hold my breathe

I'll take my little book of calm and smack you on the head

Of course I'm joking, violence is never the answer

Unless its government sanctioned

In which case, the cops can have my head

My second instinct is to agree with you

So I tell myself that what you're saying makes sense

So life don't get much more tense

No one's free 'till we all are

No one's rich if we all are

It's only fun if I have it and you don't, see?

The politics of existence

The policing of resistance

I never thought I would lose my right to the news

I want to love you, I want to be proud

But everyday we stick our heads in the ground
