Tell Me Goodbye
Mac Lethal Lyrics

Fake laughter
The insincere laughter that many people display.

Yeah, it's funny isn't it
Sarcasm that points out the irony in the world today.

I'm a dark storm cloud that's floatin' over top of suburbia
A metaphor that describes his disappointment with the mundanity of suburban life.

Ill bust, if you act all determined
A warning that he will not tolerate people who blindly follow the societal norm.

I'm waterin' my garden with some black bottle bourban
A way of coping with the unfulfillment of life through alcohol consumption.

So open up and listen to my rag water sermon
A request to hear and understand the message he is trying to convey through his music.

The universe is mine, a few disturbing times
Reflecting on the chaos of the world and learning to embrace it despite the negative impact it has on him.

My quija board told me I should go back to bed
A nod to the supernatural, humorously pointing out the absurdity of his own life.

So I could sleep some more
Finding peace and solace in sleep despite the world's turmoil.

I didn't disagree the world is too gruesome
Acknowledging the brutality of the world and the toll it takes on people's souls.

I'm far too beautiful to care about the revoltion
An arrogance that comes from the realization that he is unique and cannot be defined by societal norms.

So get you're fire out my face and don't follow me, dipshit
A plea for people to leave him alone and not impose their views on him.

Your whole entire existance is so opportunistic
Accusing people of only caring about their own gain and not the greater good.

I give a damn about the damage to the body from botox
Expressing frustration with the triviality of people's concerns.

Who cares get the fuck off your soapbox
A demand for people to stop preaching and just live their lives without imposing their beliefs on others.

I got a fresh pair of nike shoes
Celebrating the superficial pleasures of consumerism.

And I like 'em so much
Enjoying the simple joys of material things.

I wanna thank the sweatshops in china too
A sarcastic thank you to those responsible for the exploitation of labor overseas.

Yeah man, it sucks the world is a war
Lamenting the state of humanity and the constant conflict that exists.

But what the fuck you preachin' in my face about it for
Challenging those who impose their views on others.

I think that it's a cunning motif
Acknowledging the skill in the art of propaganda.

How you be floodin the streets with propoganda
Critiquing the media's role in shaping public opinion.

All about how there's no justice or peace
Reflecting on the chaos and turmoil of the world.

But one thing you never mention
Pointing out the omission of certain aspects of the world in the media's coverage.

Is how you do it all for your own damn attention
Accusing the media of exploiting images of suffering for their own gain.

Come on man, you wanna be an activist be a real activist
Urging people to actually take concerted action instead of just talking about it.

Tell me goodbye since you cannot rely
Acknowledging that people cannot rely on him for sympathy and understanding.

On sympathy from me cause my tear ducts are dry
Admitting that he cannot emote in the way that society expects of him.

Look in my head for the sadness you seek
Inviting people to look deeper into his subconscious for the true nature of his emotions.

But you won't find a piece that will make you complete
Admitting that he is not capable of fulfilling others' emotional needs.

I'm sick of trendy ass political rappers
Disgusted with the superficial activism displayed by some musicians.

Got me scribbling chapters I deliver for the cynical laughter
Feeling forced to satirically critique society through his art.

Nowadays every godd damn little disaster
Reflecting on the modern media's excessive coverage of tragedies.

Needs a dedication song about it doesnt it (yeah, YES!)
Pointing out the media's crass monetization of tragedy.

Yeah man, fight the power fuck the government
Expressing frustration with the government and those in positions of power.

That's a great message but I smell your lies under it
Accusing some activists of insincerity and ulterior motives.

But truth be told you take tradegies and latch on
Pointing out the media's tendency to exploit tragedy for their own gain.

Hopin' it'll garter you new fans
Criticizing the media for trying to gain more popularity through tragic events.

Every other day you probably prayin' when you walk to the newstand
Pointing out the media's obsession with tragedy and the resulting opportunism.

That someone had a meltdown and bottom or two
Mocking the media's hyper-focus on violence and destruction.

Blew a head gasket flipped shit and shot up a school
Using hyperbole to make a point about society's obsession with violence.

And not two hours later there's a song up on your website
Criticizing the media's quick and thoughtless response to tragedy.

All about the tragedy and how you haven't slept right
Mocking the media's over-the-top coverage of tragedy and its supposed emotional toll.

And all sorts of other cliches and dry phrases
Deriding the media's use of platitudes and common expressions in their coverage of tragedy.

You're dancing on corpses hoping to get famous
Criticizing the media for exploiting tragedy for their own popularity.

go ahead and cash in your anti-war songs sucks
Disgusted by the media's attempts to monetize tragedy and injustice through art.

How can I eat such a harmless animal
Reflecting on the cruelty inherent in modern food production and consumption.

It's easy first I kill it then I throw it on the grill
A dispassionate overview of the process of obtaining and preparing meat for consumption in Western society.

You think I got time to give a fuck about disorder
Expressing apathy towards societal problems and the increasing chaos of the world.

When the doctor got me overmedicated on these pills
Pointing out the role that pharmaceutical companies play in perpetuating addiction and disconnection from the world.

Call me a labrat, call me apathetic
Acknowledging accusations of detachment and disengagement from the world.

Call me anything you want, call me everything you will
Respecting and acknowledging other people's opinions, regardless of their views on the world.

Just let me have one single day to myself
Asking for solitude and peace amidst the chaos of the world.

So I can fantasize that the chaos is not real
Expressing a desire to escape from the harsh realities of the world into his own imagination.

Tell me goodbye since you cannot rely
Acknowledging that people cannot rely on him for sympathy and understanding.

On sympathy from me cause my tear ducts are dry
Admitting that he cannot emote in the way that society expects of him.

Look in my head for the sadness you seek
Inviting people to look deeper into his subconscious for the true nature of his emotions.

But you won't find a piece that will make you complete
Admitting that he is not capable of fulfilling others' emotional needs.
