Same Coin

I know, I know that's just the way that it goes
I heard a hello
It's just an echo
But the slow jams never pan out as I planned
As if anything could be so convenient
I'm just a new toy you keep in the box
You can pick me up just to get the dust off of me
Face to face, eye to eye
Same coin, two sides for you and I
Slapped half my mind on a picket sign
Ooh, you big man, you piece of meat, you silent scream of a dying breed
You wanna piece of me?
I'll put an asterisk on your last disaster and laugh when the footnotes shatter
It feels like momentum pushing back on the friction, but it's slipping
You never listen
I think you got the wrong tree
The way you bark at me
Whatever we may be, can we just be?
Nah, it's dog eat dog
So come on, you gotta eat, dog, eat!
Face to face, eye to eye
Same coin, two sides for you and I
Slapped half my mind on a picket sign
Yeah, you know me, I'm a dime a dozen
Cold when the sun left
I said, god damn, what good is dancing when it's only maneuvering?
