Fashionable Distraction

A double agent a rap / spoken word piece. It's ultimately about how the things that keep us from finding our spiritual selves are the pretty things with ugly side.

FASHIONABLE DISTRACTION

Taylor made tragedy woven with freewill

holes mended when we tended what we willed

made alterations with life's altercations

complications left us often waiting

for the next fashion statement

Blending in with trendy sin, playing pretend

looked so normal, forgot that we were mortal

now we want him out our schools and courtrooms

because...godliness is so last year!

like you out of date if you about your faith

or out of place if it's face to face

thanks for the ride like creep show

hitchhike through life unaware what we seek though

given the world a thumbs up

relying on dumb luck, but he's tardy, reliable? hardly

diet pills, celebrity parties, a culture of fame up in flames

just part of the attraction of a fashionable distraction

With the quickness everybody claims they got the cure for my sickness

Upgrade your wardrobe, infomercial purpose, get with the wickedness

Reality is TV, ignorance is infinite

Paternity test are like a game show

Arranged too is marriage televised

Telling lies like nothing is sacred, so they fake it

Lights, Camera, Action!

Attacking your sense of self worth

Acting like super models ain't got problems or weakness

But trust. Victoria got secrets

On hush. Pictorial white lies

Of lust, false expectations are a front

Like Megan Fox maybe hot

But so is Salem's Lot 

So that ain't saying a lot

I'm saying just watch

They ain't all that attractive

Just part of a the attraction of a Fashionable distraction

Wolves in performance fleece full of deceit

It's like pulling teeth pushing for peace

Even lies are obsolete

when you invent enough truths

Through optional doctrine

They call it doctrine 

because they doctoring interpretations

 

Hurting the nation.

They want to be right more than they want to be right

The left just want to accept. So nothings left

The rest drown in credit card debt, hard pressed, to guard against,

consumerism the new prison, suburban indifference, to an urban enrichment,

every person is gifted, but every person ain't given

Every persons they're own franchise

stepping on promise land mines in a field of dreams

filled with schemes, they kill for cream

but

Christ

rules

everything

around me
