Desensitized Lyrics

Desensitized lyrics

Yo, remember when our biggest fear was Y2K?



'Cause we were ignorant, blind, and we liked it that way



Overseas conflicts share air time on 60 Minutes



With corporate sponsorships and celebrity who-did-it?



Y'all better flip on the BBC



If you wanna see some reality on TV



Real survivors make hip-hop music with no money



And there's nothing really real about The Real World, trust me



See, our government subsidizes corn and cattle



Makes corn syrup cheap so you know what cows eat



That's why fruits and vegetables cost big bucks and candy's cheap



That's why our teeth rot and kids are obese



Smoke pot and go to jail but feel free to die of heart disease



Bad for you but it's good for the economy



My name is Off Top, producer slash emcee



I'm not anti-government, just anti-lobotomy







I see too much man, I'm desensitized



These eyes roll back in my head 'cause blank stares are the norm



(All I wanna do is write, record, and perform)







Baby's girl's breakdown



She's only nineteen



She's a sophomore in college with a freshman's perspective of what it all
means



She makes mountains out of molehills



And the moles are living high on the hog like kings



She knows her daddy wanted a boy



But he'd settle for a beauty queen



She fits neither category



Accepts presents and jewelry as payment for negligence



Invests her emotion in the junk bonds of bling



I want a girl with no gag reflex



Who's allergic to latex and addicted to sex



Nah, I'm kiddin' man



I really need sweet angel



Who's strong enough to pick me up when I fail



But I doubt I'm gonna find one, walking through Hell



Where everybody that you meet wears a mask or a veil



And now she sees it for herself in high
