lyrics

We are ruled by wishful thinkers.
Wishful thinkers rule us all.
Bully fools and cocaine dreamers.
Fall of man again. Man will fall.

I don’t ever wanna hear you talk about love again.
You ain’t earned it.
I don’t ever wanna hear you talk about love
or the Lord above or who you judging again.
You ain’t earned it.
You will never learn.

We are ruled by wishful thinkers.
Wishful thinkers rule us all.
Bully fools and cocaine dreamers.
Fall of man again. Man will fall.

Super model business model.
Life is easy when you're mean.
You gots to be mean to all the right people.
You gots to be mean to all the right fools.
You gots to war. No time for peace.
You gots to rule.

Wouldn't it be easier if they didn't have to deal with us?
Wouldn't it be easier if we were all gone?
But how would they get by if they could no longer steal from us?
How would they manage if we were all gone?

I don’t ever wanna hear you talk about love again.
You ain’t earned it.
I don't want ever hear you talk about love
or the lord above
or the body and blood
or your drink and drugs
or your petty grudge
or deez nuts
or who you judging again.
You ain’t earned it.
You will never learn.

We are ruled by wishful thinkers.
Wishful thinkers rule us all.
Bully fools and cocaine dreamers.
Fall of man again. Man will fall.

BUGGY JIVE is a soul rock singer-songwriter quietly uploading music from a basement somewhere in Upstate New York.

Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say.
