Ren - Vincent's Tale - Starry Night

ACT I

How do I begin?
Wait a minute, I know
Step one, I repent
Step two, let me go, no?
Three, maybe I show you remorse for my crimes?
Fuck that, let me speak my mind
Clears throat
So allow me to introduce myself to you
Manifestation of everybody in this room that
Ever felt discarded by a system that's regarded
To be something for the people
But the people disregarded
It's retarded, putting all the power in thе palms of the heartless
Lions don't carе when chewing on carcass
Homeless levels rise and the politicians pardoned
Slave labour wage can pay for the farmers
Britain, Great Britain?
No, you're a slave Great Britain
Tax brackets rise, grow
Give a tax break for a suit and tie on the low
While the everyday people gettin' fucked 'till they broke
So, let me unload
I'm on a roll
I never vote
Rigging the polls
Britain erodes
Who's in control?
When there is no
Food in the bowl

It's a low blow
Representatives don't show empathy
Plain to see
Represent me? No, sucker
Britons break backs just for bread and butter
Fuck the PM, did I st-st-stutter
In the PM they'll be bodies in the gutter
Blood-stained hands milk our poor land's udder
Nine-to-five, I can't survive
I wake just to work in a job
That can't provide, it's by design
My hands are tied
I climb debt, on this debt, on this debt
How the fuck can I pretend it's fine?
The water is never wine
The pig steps to the slaughter before your eyes
It's for the new world order, incept our minds
The court of law are whores who will bend for bribe
All the while people watch reality TV
Sleep easy, wake and repeat the cycle
Are you taking the Michael?
Better beat it the city full of sheep tweeting on the social media
Tabloids twisting tales and it's causing mass hysteria
Polarize the people, never bite the hand that's feeding ya
When it comes to war they'll be calling for you needing ya
Fighting for a cause that wasn't yours and leaving ya
Hyper-polarizing the left and the right
Are you woke? Are you racist? Black? Are you white?
Are you all for the Brexit? Makers with exit!
The NHS rots, where was tax directed?
Look, there goes another fucking puppet elected
Dance little puppet, dance for the neglected
Impunity from truth, lies come to be expected
Sever head of Hydra, two parties resurrected

ACT II
Beatboxing

Yes, I am the malevolent, degenerate, delegate
Incarcerate the truth, keep it separate
The fabric of society is delicate
They don't want me in the room, I'm the elephant
Let's go
I guess I was fucked from the get-go
Wrong place, and wrong time, guess so
Wrong planet, wrong mind
Guess you could say I was destined to break
Because I get no satisfaction, I roll stoned
ETA with E.T., I phone home
Etc., don't blink, life is gone
Time don't wait, the show must go on
In London Underground, come rain and thunder
Junkies, drunks, and punks stung by the hunger
God is good until life push you under
One by one become cold like the tundra
One by one, cast out like pariah
Sever head from body so body bow to messiah
Boy cry wolf, everybody soon expire
Run, little run, little run, little liar

ACT III

Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar

Vocalising

There's no democracy
Democracy ain't corporate lobby free-for-all
Democracy ain't rich boy silver spoon seniors
Democracy ain't eating up a lie then forgiving you
Democracy ain't choosing between herpes or chlamydia
Democracy, hypocrisy a synonym entwined
Take a baby then deliver him, position him in line
And then imprison him, condition him in school to make him blind
After they christen him the father, son, the ghost, but not the mind
We are divine, we lose potential when we gravitate to greed
We are benign, we turn to cancer when we take more than we need
We are designed to be magnificent, we waste that when we war
A starry night, the plight of Vincent inside Cell Block 44
I fought a war inside myself
The war of every working man
The war of whats and whys and hows
And when's the time to take a stand?
And who's the one to put me in my place?
You? Or is it God?
It's compliance staying silent
If defiance comes from love?
I come from love
I come from hope
I come from truth
I come from trust
I am the last remaining push inside a world that turns to dust
That tends the people so determined all to die
And for what?
Love of power
Love of money
Love of ego
Love of lust

What about love for the sake of love?
What about really loving us?
But I mean really loving us
That means the I, the me, myself is you, and so we're in one
And there's never separation while we're moving round the sun
For the cell of every sentient, it shares a single song
And that's the song of sweet creation
Do you hear the minstrel strum?
For there's more to music, life is music
Music is the tongue
In the mouth of Mother Earth
And her heart beating is the drum
Hear it drum, hear it drum, hear it drum, drum, drum, drum
That's that thunder in your chest
That lets you know that you belong
We are one. We are one
We are free to want some
Something better better, yet
Reset, so we can all live on

ACT IV

Vincent, Vincent! VINCENT!
Oh, good, he's waking up!

Vincent, dear boy
I can feel your frustration
But you're in very safe hands here now!
Please be patient...
You see, we are the cutting edge rehabilitation
Don't you feel so excited for this new innovation?
Nah, guards, what the fuck?
Man, I think I want to leave!
Oh, leave? I'm afraid that that's impossible, see
You see, we're part of a new program
It's a government scheme
We're making gentlemen from criminals
And that's what you'll be!
With a brand new method that's sort of trialled and tested
Like the good gods son you'll be resurrected !
What the fuck you on about?
What kind of brand new method?

Well, we take the frontal lobe
And we kind of dissect it

And with your synapse augmented
With our new serum, injected
It aims to to re-correct the parts of you we know are defective
There'll be discomfort in your cerebellum, that is expected
But hey, if progress wants a price! Let it!

Guards! Guards!
This one will do
Yes, this one's fine
Take him
Take him away
