Anonymous — I Waste My Time Drinking Wine: A Manifesto

Identity means nothing Lost my ghost, but I'm free from my shell Information ubiquitous Just a dial and call My therapist keeps warning me that I think that "I" means us all... Like I'm the man who runs Breitbart from my phone in the office I'm the man who penned "i", a resident out of Compton I'm the girls who start the trend to share their wrists on instagram The woman with compassion washing the blood from the Motherland... But when I was younger... I turned my nose to von Trier when told that I couldn't enter Instead I spent my day at home learning guitar with no mentor I'm trying to find a woman while I have dreams of Gia Page I love to be lazy and moan of minimum wage Age doesn't exist to the man with electric wrists Cinema on the telephone riding round on the transit The woman to my right's annoying, always too much to say She kept talking about some movie called "How was your day" Got off There's such a freedom to walking in the street I wait for cars to pass at crosswalks, scorn at people I see "Man the world's gone to shit" At least that's how that I see it Reading my drop down newspaper Professional twitter critic I hate going to the doctors because every appointment They start by grabbing my crotch just to confirm what I wrote in I heard some nonsense about a hawk who tried to mortar a wall And some congressional dollars The president couldn't sell But an older me was tar and feathered not by the weathered but by the youth when I said Gorsuch's works were near bulletproof But the weathered came to attack me Like competition at track meets When I told them refugee faces shouldn't look so macabre I wear my illness like honor and so I honor the illness My depression make people jealous, I envy autism I have casual sex because my TV said do it So now I'm laughing through tears asking why my love life is ruined Online, some feminist lies I crack my fingers, disprove them Walking back to my dorm Pass a drunk girl while he holds her Walking straight while she staggers I roll my eyes "Too much drinking, why can't we go back to the 50s and watch Family Matters" I point my finger in anger These kids are always complaining What's these ghetto kids problems? [I] Never had issues with coppers But I felt left and excluded No one cares for my tragedy So I walked to a rally with a sign "All lives matter, see?" So call me Father John Misty Come hit the train best not miss me Silver glass eyes are still misty Cancer from bongs in the 60s Don't let the CRC hear that Or they'll hang me by my thumbs Never say anything PC Or adults will think you're dumb King Crimson, Schizoid and numb Horror: mental illness is fun Alienation, isolation, policy under Trump Switching body cameras off Fracking Earth like Toph Global religious attacks, not criticisms, should stop News distorted through the internet pipeline clogged down the line And then veteran/Native American tear gassed pipeline Silicon Valley is stagnant Tom Sawyer fences in California The ghost the shell, the china wall, and Marvel ignoring the global races I like BLM not their methods Get your head out your ass, try to cure your congestion LGBT repealed, women unequal pay real You wanna sit there and tell me that equality is real? It ain't shit When Killer Mike was dragged through the mud It ain't shit When Beyoncé was attacked for the car It ain't shit When Freddie Gray was left on the side of the road for 6 hours, no ambulance, shot dead, that ain't shit Music connecting a message Oppression teaching a lesson Keep pressing, keeping them guessing Heading and lead new direction I'm the rapper who dared to speak out in ‘89 I'm the monk in 63 who set his body on fire I'm the man who stole files shared them with the US I'm the man who risked his life bringing the CIA crack scandal to the press And yesterday I was the kid listening to Scott Heron's Everyday Pretending I'm the one that's really got a message to say Instead of giving better entertainment to a nation that needs it I sleep in my headphones and just wait till I hear it Drinking wine and feeling fine Drinking wine, feeling fine
