This is a song about a politician working in a building who sees the corruption and greed of our system, and contemplates this as he descends an elevator.

lyrics

Push all the buttons in the elevator
Reminds me of the city lights
Besides, I like the wait I like the wait

I put my heart in the refrigerator
To see if I’m alive
Besides, I like the pace I like the pace

Put the world in a kaleidoscope
to add some symmetry,
Besides, it breaks the light it breaks the light

Only loyal to the Midas Vote
I’m on a winning spree
Besides, nobody’s right nobody’s right.

Chorus
Watching me watching me fall asleep
Talking me talking me to the floor
Walking me walking me on a leash
I don’t need anymore

Feeding the bullets of a revolution
Reminds me of a tv show
Besides, I have a dream, I have a dream.

Let’s end the Sisyphean retribution
Someone get a telephone
Besides, my hands are clean, my hands are clean.

I add verbatim when it’s ad verbatim
And nobody minds
Besides, I like my voice I like my voice

Pulling the trigger on another nation
Hush now you’ll be fine
Besides, I like the noise I like the noise

(bridge)

Chorus
Watching me watching me fall asleep
Talking me talking me to the floor
Walking me walking me on a leash
I don’t need anymore

Putting your hands over your children’s ears
So they don’t hear us coming
Besides it makes them strong it makes them strong

Put on some music from your better years
Back when you were young
Besides, it won’t take long it won’t take long
