Altruitude Chris Kellogg - Video
PUBLISHED:  May 13, 2012
DESCRIPTION:
Look
Not everyone's gonna get this the first time
And if they ignored it altogether I wouldn't be surprised
But the truth is the skeptics are wrong
A club of assholes, a million members strong
I believe in truth and justice and love
And I believe there is something above
Here's my point
The motion is in the activism
Get your act together, we got something to fight for, c'mon

It don't make much sense to me why you sit there and criticize
There is something to be done
There is a way to fight back

Now
To me, it's too easy to throw my hands up and say
Today was just not our day
And the system won
because the system wants it that way
rather I think you may have defeated yourself before you began
go back and check the battle plan
and find the point where you said
I have more important things to take care of
Like complain and stay the same
And propagate the lazy and apathy that let things get this way

Chorus

Spoken:
Peasants invading swaths of unused land
and then washed away by the national guard time and time again
Trying to grab some small snack from a buffet owned by a handful

Over sloshing pints in a bar in Europe
A learned man says good for you
But it's a small operation
They'll never change anything that way

A man and his family bouncing from camp to camp
Thinks if he could get his hands on some land to work
Everything would be alright
Then he gets some education for his kids
And all it takes is one child
To make it to university
And lead his brothers and sisters
And community
And surpass detached intellectuals who took college for granted
And that son and that daughter would do something with that blessing
And they might be less likely to grow bored or apathetic
And who knows someday we might have a peasant son in the president's chair

Hurrah hurrah
Let 'em walk down the graduation line
I wanna see them strut into inauguration
Hats thrown in the air and votes flying with the speed of light
It turns out one of us slum dogs really did win the fight

Vocals are completely clean until halfway
let's call it a good first draft
