Coffee Black
Coffee Black Reflections: Unveiling Suburban Norms
Lyrics
You like your coffee black,
You prefer simplicity and straightforwardness.
Your neighborhood white,
Your community is predominantly Caucasian.
Your lights are out at nine o' clock at night.
You maintain a conservative lifestyle, going to bed early.
Are you affraid of everything, or just the truth?
Questioning whether you fear everything or just the truth.
You've got pre-packaged food,
You rely on convenience with pre-packaged food.
Family Feud, faith in the church,
You engage in family conflicts, trust in the church, and exhibit a morally upright attitude.
And a good clean attitude.
Reiteration of questioning fear of everything or just the truth.
Are you affraid of everything, or just the truth?
You face no significant problems except when your routine is disrupted, like missing Wheel of Fortune.
The only problem that you've got,
Emphasizing the insignificance of your problems.
Is the night that Wheel of Fortune's not.
Highlighting a trivial concern about missing a TV show.
And the only thing you haven't bought,
You lack genuine connections with people.
Are the people that are buying you.
Your life is influenced by those who control or manipulate you.
You are the Moral Majority, devoid of moral priority.
You represent a moral majority but lack moral priorities.
You are Barbie Doll sorority.
Comparison to a conformist and superficial group, like a Barbie Doll sorority.
You are the Boys' Club government.
You are part of a government resembling an exclusive Boys' Club.
How we lust familarity, speedy compact portability.
Critique of the desire for familiar, fast, and portable things.
Every step that you take forward,
Your progress impedes societal advancement.
Is a generation back for us.
The advancement you make sets others backward.
We are the ugly.
Identification with the marginalized and unattractive.
We are the gay, Impoverished, effeminate, and overweight.
Mention of various marginalized groups facing discrimination.
Take your consumer culture back from us.
A call to reclaim cultural identity and reject consumerism.
It's a fucking economic attack on us all.
Perceiving consumer culture as an economic threat to society.
And the Football Season is the only reason you stay alive in your Prime Time beehive.
Your main source of purpose is the entertainment provided by football.
