The Buzz Kill Lyrics - Healthy Distrust - Sage Francis

(Recorded Voice) 

You are listening to the heartbeat of the Sage 

Sage posses the newest and most revolutionary advance in split second presentation 

As well as split second calculation 

To protect the future of America 

The defense techniques of tomorrow had to be discovered now 

But Sage needed more than this 

New concepts, new tools, new weapons 

By analyzing the past, Sage can project into the future 

(Sage Francis) 

I used to think that rappers had it figured out 

Brass Monkey, St. Ides, Old English, and Guiness Stout 

Once a man twice a boy with a choice of vice or voice of spite 

Not enough poisons to pick to enjoy this life 

Now I thought suicide was a suburban myth 

I couldn't see my own hands being the ones I'm murdered with 

That is until I travelled this world a bit 

I understand now if I lose my nerve I'll get the girl to do it! 

She heard the music but preferred the person, she's worth it 

The only one I left behind the curtain to work with 

Pushin' buttons and playin' with levers 

We'll stay together as long as I'm honest in my songs 

(Radio) Suckers never play this 

Scared shitless of dismissing clear channel playlists 

Poorly developed, yet highly advanced 

The black music intertwined with the white man's line dance 

(Recorded Voice) 

Supersonic, super destructive, seemingly unresistable 

On the job, around the clock, with 24 hour a day reliability 

Constantly monitoring, pulse-taking, controlling 

Into a continuous flow of interpretation, which could be understood at a glance 

(Sage Francis) 

It's not only a time I'm kept 

Busy with shivers and cold shakes 

Sitting on snow banks 

Waiting to be delivered some soulmates 

Or wait 

Lift and tuck my fate for several levels 

Fill my body till they send me an empty face with the head of devils 

My breath resembles the smell of flowers 

Yanked from life, placed in a vase 

Sits and wilts and watch 'em dies in the name of grave mistakes 

That we all make 

Believe that we're getting by treating ourselves wrong 

Throw me a reindeer John letter party 

And ill be there with bells on 

Hell spawn 

So if he calls the city hall 

They still got the gall 

To blame the victory on biggie smalls 

From strip malls 

To strip clubs 

They slip drugs 

Into the drinks that kids love 

Tell us to drink up and get buzzed 

This is the buzz kill jump into the saddle 

Emerge from the dust kicked up in the uphill battle 

With my guns drawn and sword out 

Pointed towards the couthouse 

I sort out words from my war torn mouth 

I disassociate the actions with their meanings 

Songs from "ends justify their means" mentality 

Plus I'm bleeding 

Give me a bandaid a band that can play 

A fanbase with hearing aids and a voice like a hand grenade 

I pull the wool over their vision 

Pull the pin and push it in 'em 

Using women as a pin cusion 

A super villian 

With some war paint and jokes done in poor taste 

We'll see who laughs last all the way to foreign banks 

(Recorded Voice) 

Ready to take over in a matter of seconds 

to protect the future of America 

Sage also has protection too 

(Come on come on, feel it feel it) 

The protection which comes with the possesion weapons of retaliation 

But is this protection enough? 

(Sage Francis) 

(I was) I was B-boyin' in my former body 

Singing all the songs at parties 

Now I'm like don't let nobody 

Through the door in the hotel lobby 

I'd wear Armani if they endorse me 

So people who are poor can rob me 

Then forcefully sex me up 

Color me confused when they paint issues black and white 

Resuscitate their grey matter right back to life 

It's my destiny she wants me she beckons 

She left me for dead but death didnt want no sloppy seconds 

I'm certified fresh 

Our freedom kissed the French for their political dissent 

Like *mwah* I do it with tongue this time 

And take that bovine blood out your wine 

And take that statue back to the lab it was created at 

Your huddled masses yearning to breath free 

Take 'em back! 

Your homeless tempest-tossed to me 

Take 'em back! 

The U-S-A has cracked 

(Recorded Voice) 

And as long as we're on guard 

As long as we're ready to look ahead 

To move ahead 

The future of America is secure
