Lyrics
Perpetrating counter culture she is walking through the park
Perpetrating counter culture, she challenges societal norms while strolling through the park.
First light ugly and more muscular than the dark
Describing the morning light as unattractive but powerful, contrasting it with the darkness.
Pushing poems at the urban silence
She is attempting to break the urban silence by sharing her poems.
Drawing portraits of the passers-by
Engaging with the surroundings by creating sketches of those passing by.
Sitting on the curb
Sitting on the curb, she immerses herself in the urban environment.
Combining traffic sounds
Blending the noises of traffic, possibly symbolizing the chaos of city life.
Getting dirty looks and dirty jeans
Receiving disapproving glances and wearing worn-out jeans on the grimy ground.
On the dirty ground
Highlighting the less glamorous aspects of life.
She says I can't figure out what kind of life this is
Expressing confusion about the nature of her existence and whether it's comedic or tragic.
Comedy or tragedy I just know it's show biz
Acknowledging life as a form of entertainment or performance art.
And what if I don't agree
Pondering disagreement with the prescribed lines she must recite or conform to.
With the lines I have to read
Questioning the content she is expected to deliver or conform to.
They don't pay me enough
Expressing dissatisfaction with inadequate compensation for her work.
The way I see it
Stating her perspective on the situation.

The americat's asleep
Suggesting that the nation is oblivious or apathetic, represented as being asleep.
With warm milk and cliches
Indicating a lack of depth in societal understanding, relying on comforting clichés.
And people are expendable along the way
People are considered expendable in the pursuit of societal goals.
Your dollar is dependable
Emphasizing the reliability of the dollar in contrast to the value of individuals.
What more can we say
Sarcastically questioning the adequacy of such an explanation.
