[00:00.00]Viva La Persistence -Kimya Dawson
[00:06.634]I dreamed I thanked scott ian for
[00:08.502]Persistence of time
[00:10.87]Back when Steve and Eva died that
[00:11.979]Album changed my life
[00:13.174]It was a package of pure darkness tied up
[00:15.283]With a silver string
[00:16.718]Delivered by a fast train rearranging
[00:19.49]How I think
[00:20.07]He said I can't believe you even know
[00:22.360]That I exist
[00:23.350]I've got all of your albums and I think
[00:25.573]You are the best
[00:26.811]He started to cry and I started to laugh
[00:30.302]I gave him a hug and he gave me his autograph
[00:33.682]Reeling in my disbelief I know that it was
[00:38.742]Just a dream
[00:40.337]All the covers that I see are different
[00:44.758]From the books I read
[00:47.276]Everything is crumbling around me
[00:50.681]Why does everything cost so much money
[00:54.127]Could somebody please help out my family
[00:57.223]My mom needs hearing aids new shoulders
[00:59.486]And new legs
[01:00.493]My dad needs a break he works all day
[01:02.957]Every day
[01:03.722]My brother needs a place and a job
[01:06.71]Where he can make
[01:07.310]Enough money to take care of his baby
[01:11.168]Here's a simple dissertation on a
[01:15.164]Complex situation
[01:17.720]Money and intimidation and mass graves
[01:22.523]Make strong foundations
[01:24.475]For the giant corporations that own all
[01:29.62]The T V stations
[01:31.86]Telling us to take vacations to their
[01:35.358]Big theme park plantations
[01:37.838]Rather than to hearts of nations
[01:41.222]Where we might meet people on the street who say
[01:44.699]I don't want my M T V 'cause it brought
[01:48.746]Viva to it's knees
[01:51.18]And mom and pop are begging please
[01:54.297]Globalization's killing me
[01:57.652]While we think that they think they need
[02:01.139]All of the things we think we need
[02:04.454]Like Martha Stewart Shams and Sheets and
[02:08.128]Sugar free powdered iced tea
[02:11.161]Vanilla coke lemon pepsi friends episodes on D V D
[02:31.802]I went to see the doctor of psychiatry
[02:35.208]Weapons of mass instruction finally broke me
[02:38.494]He said act your age don't be afraid
[02:40.342]Take two of these now
[02:41.427]Listen real hard put down that guitar
[02:44.507]Don't be a retard be all that you can be
[02:48.753]The things he said I could be were laid
[02:52.352]Out right in front of me
[02:54.864]Would I choose deep fried apathy
[02:58.256]Mcnuggets where my balls should be
[03:01.777]Or super sized conformity I walked away and
[03:07.145]I'm still me
[03:09.07]Free to go f**king crazy free to know why
[03:14.34]I'm angry
[03:15.615]One and one and one is three and you and me
[03:20.559]Is all I need
[03:22.794]Singing songs
[03:26.380]Drawing cocks
[03:29.796]Picking locks
[03:30.808]To locked doors
[03:32.333]Find deflated hearts
[03:36.595]And pump them up
